ACT OF VALOR is Hollywood MILITARIST PROPAGANDA in bed with 'Defense' Department WARMONGERS...

HOLLYWOOD neo-con media whores PIMP WARS - EVER EXPANDING NEO-CON WARS, in Mideast, Central Asia, and, next up, vs.  Iran, Russia, and China: 

There can be no doubt, that during WWII Hollwyood cooperated 100% with the United States military, especially in the filming of the "WHY WE FIGHT" series of movies, intended to motivate Americans to support the costly war effort, even as American families started receiving the ever-higher butchers' bill, later and later into the war years of WWII,   as American armies and naval fleets operated deeper and deeper in Nazi occupied Europe or closer to the Japan empire home islands.  

(There is an easy modern "revisionism" that sees the early WWII war years - 1942, 1943 - as the "dark years" when victory was in doubt; and 1944 and 1945 are seen, retroactively, as "victory against Japan and Nazi Germany assured." But in the cold, hard calculus of war accounting, the later, "closer to victory" battles had even higher cost than the eary victories, as for example the death tolls at the Battles of North Africa, Midway,  Coral Sea or even Quadalcanal, in 1942-1943, were far smaller  compared to the horrific death tolls in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest, Battle of the Bulge, or battles of Iwo Jima and Okinaway in 1945.)

 But promoting the "defensive war" against Japan and Germany becomes more problematic when compared with the Vietnam war,  where  after WWII, America HELPED RE-IMPOSE the DESPISED FRENCH COLONIAL IMPERIALIST on Vietnam... despite the French authorities in Vietnam, the "Vichy French"  having COOPERATED WITH JAPAN during WWII, and the "communist"  Viet Minh NATIONALISTS having been our allies, rescuing American and allied Airmen from certain execution at the hands of the French (who handed captured American troops over to Japanese army troops for execution).
  Not only that, but rarely, if ever, are Americans informed that what Anglo/American elites called "democracy" in Vietnam, was the imposition, by the CIA, of a CATHOLIC minority DICTATORSHIP (closely tied to the despised... and beaten! French colonialists) on a nation that was 90% Buddhist!  
      It would be as if "Christian" America had an UNELECTED  Muslim - or Jewish - dictator! 


  Today's  NEO-CON DOMINATED Hollywood is trying to RE-INVENT the EXCUSES for the VIETNAM WAR - in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Syria, and, next up, Iran - ANYWHERE the  "israel first" PNAC crew can drum up enough support to stage a "FACTS ON THE GROUND"  WAR that they then FORCE the American people to accept, support... and fund;
    and man with "act of valor" American soldiers paying the real butchers bill,  as the PNAC academics,  industrialists ("defense contractors") and financiers RAKE IN THE WAR PROFITS....
