MSNBC opinion writer Zeeshan Aleem brands Oscars favorite Top Gun: Maverick 'insidious' and 'poisonous' for showing 'America's war machine' as a 'beacon of virtue'...
Aleem claimed the crowd-pleasing blockbuster is unworthy of an Academy Award because its positive portrayal of the United States military 'beckons for a return to accepting the American war machine as a beacon of virtue and excitement.' It is a war fantasy 'that could actually play out in real life,' he wrote. 'War is portrayed purely as a source of glory and camaraderie for Maverick and his colleagues, who are all attractive people and manage to pull off their daring mission with zero casualties. Their training involves speed, sport and glamour,' he continued, developing his position as anti-US military.
Zeeshan Aleem is a liberal scumbag who's also a contributing Writer to Vox.com, and a former staff writer on Vox's foreign affairs team. His writing has been published in The Atlantic, The Nation, Esquire (magazine), The Guardian, Vice, Politico, HuffPost, Pacific Standard, Mic, The American Prospect, and a couple other liberal toilet paper-worthy publications.
Com on now. Our woke armed forces promise to only kill biological women who don't wear a facemask under their burqa.
ReplyDeleteDoes the "beacon of virtue" include the 25,000 reports of sexual assaults EVERY YEAR in the military? The ones that the DOD says are likely significantly under-reported? Or the 90% of those that are male on male sexual assault? Just wanting to fully understand where the beacon of virtue lies.
