Worse, it conveniently leaves out the reason the US was not involved in the aftermath, which is that the left's greatest hero of all time, Gorbachev, made future non-involvement by the US, directly or indirectly, a condition of the pull out of Soviet troops, in direct summit negotiations with Reagan. We did not have the option to control the aftermath. The deal was, the Soviets would pull out their troops but could still fund their allies, if we would stop funding their opponents. Reagan took the deal, rightly.

The left will never admit this, because now they need the whole WOT to be blamed on Reagan and the CIA. It is all revisionist nonsense, the left has provided a solid noise wall of slander and misinformation for a couple of years running now, in every single war themed picture they have made. Then they wonder why they all flop at the box office.

Personally I don't just avoid these movies, I blacklist any actor or director connected with any of them in any way, for the rest of my life.

Don't write off all of Tom Hanks' work, his astronaut stuff (Apollo Thirteen and From The Earth to the Moon) was great.
