Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 68833, member: 1510"] The military ad thing is a result of how funding works for films in the US. The US military has a deal with film studios: if they need military supplies for a film, they can get as much as they want for free under one condition: they say [I]nothing[/I] negative about the military in their film. It's a policy put in place after the Vietnam War to get recruitment up as well as to undermine the multiple anti-war films (which hurt recruitment) that followed. As a result, they end up subtly endorsing the military by being unable to make any criticism of it even in films where that would have made sense ([I]Iron Man[/I], for example). [/QUOTE]
