The problem is not so much feminized modern-day actors...it's the whole feminized-liberalized, Hollyweird establishment that disdains both traditional masculine values and the military-hero ethos in general. In short, modern Hollyweird filmmakers hate America's past and want to replace it with their leftist version. If these dolts could, they'd hire Noam Chomsky to do the screenwriting.

For example, Hollyweird could do a movie about the Marines taking Fallujah that would rake in a fortune. But they won't do it for ideological reasons. They won't make a movie that makes brave males and the American military look good. The only way they'd do it is if the hero was a homosexual and at the end the film he deserts and then joins a leftist group and criticizes war-mongering, racist America.

I call it “The Hunger Games” syndrome....now every hero has to be a woman, and the woman shows more guts than the guys.....heck we even see this now in politics in real life.

Yep. Just like he tried to do with Ben-Hur. To listen to a great many liberals, every to do with the military and combat has homo-emotive undertones.
