And America is a much worse place,because about 98% today's studios/writers/actors/actresses/directors are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar left cretins,most of whom are talentless and anti-America.
Farther left than that even
Too, there is ego. If movies were made showing the true heroism and sacrifice of the American Military and the American people, it would, by necessity, diminish the lustre that the "stars" have so carefully polished about themselves. Face it, if a Tom Cruise, say, played Pat Tillman, it would serve to show how UNLIKE such a man Cruise really is. They will allow no such challenge to their place as "America's Royalty", politics or no. People might start to even ask, as they did in WWII, why so many obviously healthy young men are NOT wearing uniforms in their country's time of need. Their house of egotistical cards would crumble, as they were seen for what they truly are...pampered, overpaid, self-centered, vapid phoneys.
