Up your critical thinking game, bro.

If you think that any of the movies I listed were approved and financed by the US military you are hopeless. All of these movies demonized war and the military, and made joining and fighting in a war look like absolute hell. Not exactly a recruitment tool for our armed services.

Ever seen Coming Home or Friendly Fire? The pentagon was pissing hollow point bullets when those two got so many critical accolades.

That's how they get all that equipment. If you see a movie with a tank in it then it was probably given to the producers on condition that the military not be demonized. Black Hawk Down is a good example. Ewan McGregor's character was based on a soldier who was convicted of sexually assaulting his daughter and the military didn't like that so "SPC John Stebbins" (real guy) became "SPC John Grimes" (fake guy).

The Army pressured the filmmakers of “Black Hawk Down” to change the name of the war hero portrayed by Ewan McGregor – because the real-life soldier is serving a 30-year prison term for rape and child molestation, says the man who wrote the book that spawned the movie.
