RAY was designed to be woke, but eventually became saddled with conniptions such as "everyone has one" and "where the hell is the cockpit?! this thing's only remote!?" it's EXCELSUS you're looking for: the Metal Gear-like that was never one because it doesn't have a nuke

the real answer to what's the best Iraq war movie is Hostel (or maybe Martyrs)

not really. the author goes on and on about anti-PMC discourse but doesn't link to any examples of what he's talking about. nor does he cite anything from the academic literature about the various attempts to characterize that strata of the class structure. there are some good arguments for defining them as their own class, and good accounts of what that means politically. joepinetree already mentioned who i first person i thought of as giving such arguments and accounts: erik olin wright. both his take on the PMC and his take on ideology's relation to class position (and how it can be measured) seem to escape all the criticisms he raises.

like the whole point of bringing up Hurt Locker was the dearth of good iraq 2 movies, and that it was the best they could think of, not exactly a ringing endorsement.

They're so disingenuous that your only option is to make fun of them. Which was what happened when they claimed that "bend the knee" was a rape joke, because when people quoted the dril bit about being a corncob, they claimed that was about rape as well.
