...how three minutes of sanctimonious overheated sucking up in order to boost his film cred/audience appeal...

A perfect description of his tirade. I know people want to believe that there is some sincerity in Hollywood, but there is not, this is simply a marketing strategy aimed at the target audience of this movie.

Hmm, might be. If he’s not a vet.

Celluloid machismo.

But even yet. I am reminded of the adage that hypocrisy is the tribute which vice pays to virtue. If evil people didn’t know that virtue was good, they wouldn’t even ape it. And funny thing, virtue gets the glory (at least kind of... it is a virtue marred by profanity, which is the modern idea of manly strength). So we have evil pretending to something that is a counterfeit anyhow. What is it called when you make a phony of a phony? A metaphony?
