New from me:
"Top Gun: Maverick" is Pentagon propaganda. And these FOIA'd documents prove it.

"Top Gun: Maverick" is a box office smash.
But few moviegoers know that it was made as a result of an agreement between Hollywood and the Pentagon whereby the latter would be allowed to "weave in" key pro-war "talking points" into the movie.
The military allowed Paramount Pictures access to military bases and aircraft carriers for filming, fighter jets, pilots and sailors as extras and a lot more.
In exchange, however, they gave extensive control of the script to the military itself.
If the military didn't like any aspect of the film, the contract states it must be cut before it was released.
The reality is that being a pilot looks far more like this than the glamorous action of "Top Gun", which is why there is a huge shortfall of Navy pilots right now, & why so many leave the forces with PTSD and suicidal tendencies.
The new documentary "Theaters of War" details how the Pentagon has written or co-produced over 2500 movies and TV shows.
You will never believe some of the titles they've been involved in.
