The Word "Co-Scripted"
editThis article states that the films in the list were "co-scripted" by the US military, but I don't believe that's accurate. The source for that section is a list of films that were given assistance by the military, but that's wildly different than saying that the military had a hand in actually writing them. From my understanding, the military does get access to read the scripts of the films before agreeing to cooperate and allow the usage of military vehicles and logos, but outside of a few rare instances, I don't believe that they actually take part in writing or editing the scripts of these films. Unless someone has a source showing that they actually made changes to the scripts of the listed films, this phrasing should be changed to note that the films received military cooperation rather than calling them "co-scripted."

- It's been over a year and no one responded, so I changed it. I believe that the phrase I used is more accurate than "co-scripted." Offensivename (talk) 13:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Internet media?
editAfter seeing another wave of US military weapons in the recommendations of youtube I now think this article is horribly outdated. 217.120.14.63 (talk) 11:05, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Redundant info - quote
editThere is an interesting (but lengthy) quote by film director Elmer Davis which is listed in both the 'History' and 'Movies' section of this page. It could be cut from one of them, to avoid redundancy. Richard Move (talk) 09:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
