It'd be nice, but perhaps asking too much, to get people to debate, either for or against, from the source material:

 

But what should we think about a German war film dealing with the Warsaw rising and the slaughter of Stalingrad, or a Japanese film about Nanking or the death march, that focused only on the heroism of their bomb-disposal  troopers, without any reference to the aggressive wars that situated them in Poland, Russia, China and the Philippines? Most people would characterize such films as "enemy propaganda," particularly while the wars were still going on, as are the U.S. wars  in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen (as well as Iraq, despite Washington's claim that "combat operations" are now over).
 
Suppose you were an Iraqi, who lived through 12 years of U.S.-UK-UN killer sanctions that took another million Iraqi lives, followed by seven years of invasion and occupation. What would you think of a U.S. war film where nearly all the Iraqi characters were villains or crooks, and the occupying GIs were depicted as heroes and at least well-meaning? 
 
What would you think when you read from the producers that "The Hurt locker" is "a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military's unrecognized heroes: the technicians of a bomb squad who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives doing one of the world's most dangerous jobs.... Their mission is clear — protect and save." 
 
You'd probably think this film, which won six Academy Awards while the war was still going on, was enemy propaganda.

"The Militarization of Hollywood": Unlocking "The Hurt Locker"
War Propaganda wins the Academy Award
 
   I think that fairly soon, a movie so prominent as this will get official public recognition (besides advertising via military websites) of this film via the Pentagon, sanctioning it as Saving Private Ryan did shortly after it's award wins.

Of note a man that works in military to propagandize through hollywood has said that many films of the past which weren't financially back by the military would be today because they've been deemed to be on message, or in other words, movies like A Few Brave Men tote the military message effectively as to promote recruitment.

I would very strongly like a thorough truth out on video games and the military, in particular juggernaut Call Of Duty. I'd like a conscious public, well aware of the cooperation they have by helping to propagate the military's message and agenda, including 5 million displaced Iraqis and Afghanis, not limited to current atrocities only, but far extended into the murderous military history that exists.

God bless people with the bravery to expose Call of Duty, Medal Of Honor, Battlefield, and other works of darkness manipulating the hearts and minds of men towards spiritual destruction.
May God save people out of these explicitly evil games, and other related forms of media.
