What’s wrong with Khan being sympathetic. Really he’s a sympathetic character, they genetically engineered superbeing and then didn’t like the consequences, and shot them all into space without even having the guts for a nice execution. If you look at it right it’s hard not to see Khan as a guy screwed over by the government that wanted him. Then you get into the plot of this one and some idiot from the military decides they want to bring the super conqueror BACK and then is shocked to find out he can’t control him.

Actually there’s plenty of rationale for the 9/11 veterans dedication, just not from within the movie, here’s an article somebody else linked to:

And here’s the rational:
“After the first Star Trek movie was made, my wife, Katie, and I talked to Paramount and said, “What if we went to Kuwait and showed the troops the film?” They could’ve easily said no, but they said, “Great!” We got to go to Kuwait and showed the film to the troops on a number of different occasions there. What was incredible was it was the first opportunity the cast and me had to see firsthand men and women serving our country overseas. It was a really emotional, inspiring thing. When I got back from the international tour for Star Trek, Katie and I were trying to find ways to continue to help troops and their families, those who were making this significant sacrifice. We met Eric and we learned about the Mission Continues and did our due diligence and checked around, and they were far and away the most exciting organization that we found, working with veterans in a way that respected them, respected their goals, and respected their skills.”

Doesn’t really seem like something a truther would be saying. I think you’re pissed off because you read stuff into the story that isn’t there. People do that a lot, some read in things they agree with, some read in things they disagree with, but the real source is always them. The story is a story, the dedication is a dedication, they don’t necessarily have anything to do with each other, either conservatively or liberally.
