Fun fact I learned recently: the US army provides a ton of props and consulting for free if they approve of the way a movie will portray them.

Fun "fact" as well: they won't arrest you, or worse, if they don't like it.

Have you heard of the 'patriot act'

Not the poster you're replying to but I have. I can't say that I'm fond of it.

I've never heard it being used against a movie director for portraying the US military unfavorably though.
