This movie does not deserve the one star I gave it. As an Air Force veteran, I am ashamed at how the director of this mess treats the uniform and dedication to the oath. While it does have an underlying concern for misinformation and disinformation, this is so far from reality as to boggle the mind.

Even when looking at this from a standpoint of entertainment, it does not pass muster. A children's Disney movie has more plausibility!

I realize that there was a time when the Pentagon made a forceful statement against Hollywood for revealing mistakes that cost lives and sought to prevent the broadcast of those incidents, and that Hollywood responded by making military movies with visual themes that prevent any association with actual events. But after court decisions that stated that the First Amendment protected producers and directors such that they could, in fact, make those movies, I expected the mockery to stop. Sadly, as this movie illustrates, it has not!

This film should be classified as a comedy.
