‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is ‘insidious’ for portraying ‘virtue’ of US military: MSNBC editor

Huh. I just thought it was a stupid Tom Cruise movie.

 

What Aleem says is wrong. It is a good picture, a very good picture, but so is the original version of Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, They Were Expendable, Paths to Glory, and a whole bunch of others. I also don't think it will do much for military recruitment either. It may give it a slight bump, but nothing more. There are deep concerns that the military is not meeting its goals on recruitments and has nothing to do with "woke" culture.

I will tell Aleem that serving for anything bigger than yourself is not for everyone. That can be the military, any of the 6 branches, that can be civil service, local, state, or federal, that can be any first responder, police, firefighter, or EMT, and that can become a volunteer or work for NGOs as well.
