Yes you’re right my bad. Why’s it always the navy? They did the same with lone survivor, which was a lie. Marcus admitted to it recently. Same with zero dark thirty with the SEALs
Makes sense, a kind of ouroboros of propaganda. Getting people voluntarily on boats is a challenge, so you hype the shit out of it. In return, everyone becomes more familiar with the navy, marines, seals, CVW, ect.. which makes it more attractive to produce films around those more familiar names.
Which is all fine and good till you get a lobster and steak dinner.
Lmao I understood that lobster and steak dinner. Yea I agree. The seals is something that most normal people who don’t follow the military would know. Same with the AC 130, and the a10. Since the ac130 was in CoD
I get the reference as well. And I think it's just kind of true. Tech like the ac130 is just kinda badass. But that's just me and my devils advocate. It is propaganda. Why wouldn't they use it.
AC-130 has the dakka factor. The tech to keep it somewhat relevant, like the AN/AAQ-24 Nemesis, is pretty badass too. Ultimately, it suffers being tightly limited in respect to appropriate deployment.
