Ironic. A movie exposing the horrors of war and their legal and marketing teams are worried about having "born to kill" on the cover. Don't look too close, you might see what actual war is like .

It's one of the dumbest things about American culture.
We have such unique choices about what is acceptable and what isn't in our entertainment.
Curse words? Bad.
Violence? Okay.
Nipple? Bad.
Guns? Okay.
It is so hypocritical that we're constantly told violence and confrontation is never the answer. Laws are passed making it illegal to even defend ourselves. And then 90% of the movies and TV shows are about the glorification of crime, and violence, often with egregious gun usage.
The people who make movies are not the same people who make laws.
Can't even call a toilet a toilet. It's a bathroom or restroom.
Americans use the word toilet. It’s the thing you sit on, not the room itself.
It's not arbitrary. Guns and violence are okay because America wants to normalize them joining the army and using them for their imperialism.
They even made a free video game for this purpose. But I don't understand how anyone playing America's Army would conclude that they want to join the Army. You die several times per day.
Also not realistic. Where's going to sleep at 11pm then waking up at 2am to prepare for a convoy that leaves at 6am? Where's loading a radio repeatedly because it keeps losing freqs? Where's kicking hummvee tires and checking the oil and calling it good only for it to break down 3 miles down the road?
The worst thing about the streaming era is that the art is constantly altered. Soundtracks changed, episodes removed, and mindless censorship.
Yo ho
What are you streaming? I don't have that issue streaming from torrents.
What the actual fuck. How is that even legal?
