    They learned from the best. Americans have been doing this with all sorts of media for ages. Black Hawk down slaughtering Africans in a “heroic last stand”. Chris Kyle just straight up mass-murdering people predator-style with high-tech weapons. And while I haven’t seen it, Warfare (came out this year) is probably another one on about some Iraq war-crimes.

    Then there’s the fictional stuff like Rambo mowing down hordes of faceless Asians. Jack Bower torturing Arabs for “the greater good”.

    And a shout out to Ken Burns for whitewashing American war-crimes in Vietnam for several hours.

    Still, incredibly fucked.
