I'm trying to remember if Marvel likes the US military. Aren't they always turning out to be secretly controlled by HYDRA or something? I also seem to recall that Iron Man decided he couldn't trust them with weapons and invented his suit so that he could do all of his killing personally.

    Early on up until the first Avengers they were, but that movie strained the relationship due to how much the DoD wanted to meddle in the production. They didn't like the helicarriers due to realism, for example. And you can see shit like F-35's on the flight deck, national guard doing their thing during the invasion, Captain America straight up using an M4, things like that.

    After that movie, the influence the DoD had was much more subtle if it was there at all.

    Their involvement is blatant. They literally have a near century long intimate relationship with Hollywood as a well established recruitment tactic. It's hardly a secret.
