Happened to me. Played war all my childhood. Call of duty, G.I Joe, and War movies galore. As long as I could remember I thought the military was the coolest shit ever, and more importantly that real men are warriors. Turned 18 and joined the Marine Corps infantry. Wasn’t till after I was already in when I realized that I had been a damn fool
As a rule every Hollywood block buster is propaganda.
I went to Iraq, and when I played call of duty it felt so gross. It triggered me, and made me angry. That was not what went down, or how it was like. Later on when I was in exposure therapy, my therapist gave me playing call of duty as homework. Had to learn to tolerate the anxiety it gave me because it was connected to my war trauma. I did its job in that regard, but that was not its purpose at all.
I don't like the AI art
Well that explains why every COD player is suicidally over confident about their ability to survive a combat scenario.
The thing is, the military doesn't just refuse to fund anti war media. In the case of Apocalypse Now, then took steps to prevent the movie from being made. When Coppola refused to make changes to his script, they pulled out and pulled some string to make production harder than it needed to be. Not only was the US army unwilling to cooperate, but they leveraged their weight to prevent other countries' militaries from helping too.
using ai generated imagery is lame
The AI images aren't it man, I'm a year late, but from a viewer POV its jarring and and robbed of artistic integrity.
Not digging the AI Art. If youre gonna talk about topics just show the actual images of those things, not a goofy AI generated Anime depiction of it. I`d be fine with your video having drawn anime images, but these are AI pal.
I’ve noticed that when most Americans say “freedom” they mean classical liberalism. In that respect many countries around the world do hate freedom
A soviet era joke:
Two films the US army refused to help with was Full Metal Jacket and Platoon.
Those AI generated images can be some real nightmare fuel if you pause on some of em. yikes.
This is why I love South Korean films, those film makers doesn't hestiate on potraying its military on a negative light, for example on Korean war film "Taeguki" it doesn't just potray NK negatively but it also potrays South Korean military and police officials killing innocent civilians and unarmed POWs.

Honestly the only impression i've gotten from those movies is that American military arrives only right at the end when most of the characters are already dead or wounded or that the military consistently manages to displace and loose expensive hardware to terrorists or other wanna-be doomsday cultists.
Fun fact; This same concept happens on a more domestic level. Law and Order! A load of people have watched Dick's Wolf brain-child for decades, and most (if not all) the spin-offs. But it all started with "Dragnet, either the original 1952 show based off radio stories or the the 1967 revival series of the same name. The LAPD was involved heavily with the show, both to not only provide props to make them look more real as well as consulting on police work. The problem is part of the working contract was the LAPD would see/read any scripts and shoots done and determine if it was "appropriate" for the public. They could re-write/re-shoot anything they felt "necessary", and more oft than not it was done to make the officers and detectives played on-screen to look more heroic and justified in whatever they did.
This video reminds me about how many years ago I actually found a video game made by the US Military and was advertised as such. It was just sitting in GameStop. Pre-owned, no case, dirt cheap. "America's Army True Soldier" was it's title. It was a decent enough game on the Xbox 360 (Played a bit like the Ghost Recon Series). But I remembered as a kid being surprised to see a game made by the Army. And it definitely showed in some aspects. Like how in the PvP of the game you're never fighting US Troops, they always show you as the Troops and the enemy as generic bad guy. Even if you're playing split screen against someone, that's what it's like
