Brig. Gen. Anthony J. Tata didn’t really put it that way. That’s just the way my career-Army-officer dad would have translated this from Tata, who says military heroes are right in front of us and are being ignored by Hollywood in favor of anti-military propaganda flicks that show servicemen as goons, animals or dupes:
They’re there, right in front of us everyday.
They are holding out for Hollywood’s enormous resources and talent to capture the right heroes doing the right things at the right time. And that’s a timeless story. It’s Hoosiers on the battlefield. Good men and women with solid values placed in difficult circumstances and producing unbelievable results.
On our behalf.
Message to Hollywood: Get to work. If you remove the political lens so that you can see the American heroes fighting the good fight, your only issue will be too many good screenplays and packed movie theaters.
