The men in \u201cThank You for Your Service\u201d are struggling with PTSD, painfully coming to the awareness that the combat that gave them such purpose in Iraq has injured their psyches. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Blah, blah, fucking blah. The same kind of drivel that Hollywood makes every few months for no reason other than to denigrate military service. Maass is upset because most Americans feel the same way that I feel;<\/p>\n
\u201c12 Strong\u201d earned nearly twice as much in three days as \u201cThank You for Your Service\u201d has earned in three months. And the numbers \u2013 more than $15 million in ticket sales for \u201c12 Strong\u201d in its first week \u2013 are Venmo pennies compared to the box office take of \u201cAmerican Sniper,\u201d the macho movie about Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle that has earned more than half a billion dollars since 2014. Who is at fault for the lucrative war chum that Hollywood tosses into our Saturday nights \u2013 the movie studios or the movie-goers who love to consume this masculine nonsense?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll gladly answer that question: both. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, if only the movie-viewing public could be more like Maass and come to appreciate the fact that whining little pussies are more entertaining than the war-mongering heroes that actually write the chapters of our history in their blood. Hollywood wouldn’t make movies like American Sniper, 12 Strong and 13 Hours if Americans didn’t want to watch them. <\/p>\n
Masculinity may be outdated in the testicle-free Maass household, and at Intercept, but not so in the rest of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
