    ... will be about glorified American imperialism.

    ... will be about solving problems with guns.

    ... will be pro-military sycophancy.

    The movie. About a video game. Inspired by another video game and an HBO series. Which is going to totally inspire you to go fix shit with a gun.

    Spec Ops was overwhelmingly, uncomfortably anti-war. This shit...

    I think the game, and the creators of the game, are really looking at the cost of war, the cost of having to be a warrior who’s, for whatever reason, chosen to put himself between real danger and the rest of us, and the burden that these guys carry.

    ...is an artless, bland, bootlicking vision to have about modern warfare.
