I haven't watched a single current-day military movie since 9/11. I just assume it is all propaganda in some way or another.

- gumby 9y agoaccording to the article the involvement includes such "military movies" as Meet the Parents, America’s Got Talent, Oprah and Jay Leno to Cupcake Wars. It's like High Fructose Corn Syrup -- in everything whether you expect it or not.
- 3131s 9y ago> Meet the Parents Ah yeah, isn't the stern father in that movie supposed to be ex-CIA or something? As of 2009 Fox News indicated that the DoD has over 27,000 "recruitment, advertsing , and public relations" employees. Even the Fox writer back then seems slightly perturbed by the bursting-at-the-seams state of the war industry. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/05/pentagon-spending-billions-pr-sway-world-opinion.html http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/05/pentagon-spending... There is also good evidence from the Stratfor hacks that the DoD is engaging in astroturfing. And if you're younger they come to your school and speak at assemblies, call your home phone every few months (at least in my time), etc. I once humored the army recruitment guys by talking on the phone for about 2 minutes, but I was absolutely clear that I had no interest in joining before hanging up. A day later though, two soldiers in uniform showed up at my parent's house and demanded to see me!
