Trump/Hegseth "war porn", self aggrandizing video showing in movie theaters to audience boos. [View all]

Everyone knows that America's military is "unmatched". here is Trump and Hegseth using the US military to pump up their own egos. of course, Hegseth will do anything to feel manly

Comments from Reddit:

Doubling back to say that I come to the movies to disassociate from the state of our country and I don’t appreciate having to be subjected to the glorification of FUCKING WAR.


Yes, it was so jarring to see it. It wasn't your normal recruitment video, it was basically war porn with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth voicing it over. Just pure propoganda and makes the US sound like supervillains.



As some will point out Regal has always shown ads for the Army, Navy, etc.
The difference is this isn’t recruiting. It’s straight propaganda the glorifies war. It’s extremely gross and has no place in a movie theater.



It played before The Lost Boys on Saturday. Pure propaganda. It definitely riled everyone up in the theater, booing and cursing at it, me included.
