[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 659639, member: 11425"] I have to agree that the portrayal of the military in "Hollywood" as a bunch of thugs, or worse, can be a bore. It is a convenient plot device, similar to making bikers into criminals, conservatives into racists, and any number of other hackneyed characterizations of different groups of people. It is what the lazy writer resorts to. On the other hand, watching films that smack of military propaganda does not further our understanding of the human condition either. Thank God for the Three Stooges! The only message they convey is one of hilarity! [/QUOTE]
