How Hollywood presents Chinamerican military

The psychotic Col. Quaritch...

and his vision of annihilation and...

an individual Marine with a conscience.

The Posse Comitatus Act: a statute prohibiting any future President or Congress from directing, by military order or federal legislation, the imposition of federal troops in any U.S. state.

"Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield."

Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
