The US warmongers use Hollywood again. All the war movies from Hollywood glorify wars and the goodness of the US military in these wars.
In the distant past Hollywood churned out movies that glorify the wars against the American Indians, demonize the Indians; but the American people are now more aware about the truth of that aspect of American history.
The trend continues with modern wars. The latest white washing is the movie about the Vietnam War which was heavily torn apart by J Pilger.
