    • Abstract:
      The article looks at the portrayal of the U.S. military in U.S. motion pictures, as of 2012. It notes the U.S. Defense Department has long had a liaison to the U.S. film industry, citing liaisons Donald Baruch and Phil Strub. It analyzes the relationship between the department and the industry, noting that computer-generated imagery (CGI) technology facilitates the production of military-themed films without cooperation from the U.S. armed forces. It discusses the film "Zero Dark Thirty" by Kathryn Bigelow. Comments from Strub are presented.
