Abstract
The United States (U.S) military is arguably the most formidable fighting force in the world
and as such holds a high opinion of itself. With an annual budget that runs into the billions, the
Pentagon wields significant influence over not just the national psyche of the U.S but also over
the hearts and minds of other nations through movies produced by the movie industry in
Hollywood throughout the globe, although many think differently to how the Pentagon would
like. While winning the hearts and minds of those in a tactical scenario has never been a skill
that the U.S military has quite mastered, it does have a significant ally that can effect
significant aspects of human behavior.
