I like Oliver Stone films in general, but I think his version of the ‘facts’ here are not correct. I won’t say he hasn’t faced pressure to not show certain negative aspects of the US military, because how would I know? However, the record just does not show a lack of anti-military, anti-CIA sentiment in movies since 2001 like he states:

For instance, we have seen way too much of is PTSD related plots, which are in fact anti-military, these are some of the famous ones:
-Harsh Times
-The Hurt Locker
-Brothers
-American Sniper
-Gran Torino
-In The Valley Of Elah

Then there’s no shortage of anti-intelligence movies:
-The Bourne Trilogy
-Snowden (<-—Oliver Stone!)
-Syriana
-The Good Shepherd
-The Green Zone
-The Interpreter
-Mission Impossible Rogue Nation
-Shooter

Let’s not forget those films that believe slavery ended just yesterday.

Good on you. You remembered a LOT more of these anti-American/anti-military movies than I did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think his version of the facts is intentionally biased and some respects and unintentionally in the rest.

I believe the Deep State signals lefties to raise an outcry if and when pro military film is made. They encourage anti-military films which repulse viewers, and then lash viewers for being unwilling to accept the “truth”, being ideologically naive, or being “bitter clingers” or calling such films war porn. If military films are “allowed” to be made, there’s some element in them the CIA wants to put forth (e.g., PTSD). Then when the CIA has a current interest in either contributing to a call for war or demanding a cessation of engagement, the “appropriate” type of military programming is put forth.

I believe Stone included “military” in his focus to “dress up” the conspicuous position the CIA has in our Media and extensive influence on our culture through entertainment. The CIA has captured communications in our country as it does in other countries.

What amazed me was that Stone referenced the CIA at all in any context - they are that hidden.
