Donald Trump has seen the deterioration of our military like everyone else has, and he's made a point to do something about it. The moment he's elected, he's going to make sure the DEI-obsessed, LGBT-heavy influence that has turned it into a joke around the world is cast out, and in its place, he's going to put real leaders who will whip it back into shape and return it to being respected, not laughed at. 

In short, he's going to make it a military worth joining again. 

Trump released an ad making this very point, and it holds nothing back. To get his point across, he uses clips from Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," to give people an idea of how his military will be run. An efficient, serious killing force that trains men to be warriors. The ad juxtaposes this by showing clips from the current state of our military, which is a lot of soldiers disrespecting the uniform by transforming into drag queens, as well as a clip of Rachel Levine calling it a "summer of Pride."

Of course, leftists believe they own everything that is the arts and raked the ad for utilizing a movie that actually shows the horrors of war as a way to make the case for empowering the military. They point to Vincent D'Onofrio's character, Pvt. Pyle, and the character's suicide after the mental anguish he suffered at the hands of R. Lee Ermey's GySgt. Hartman, as a way to say that Trump didn't understand the point of the movie. 

But then something incredible happened. 

Vivian Kubrick, the daughter of famed director Stanley Kubrick, dropped a bomb on the left, and stated that her father, a Reagan supporter, would have actually agreed with this ad on the basis that a very strong military is needed to achieve peace: 

Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself - however - these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.  

Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team - Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.  

And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military - so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with. 

Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing. 

Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few! 

My father had a great respect for life - his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom! 

Capisce?

There is a lot of truth to this point. Reagan's policy was "peace through strength" and that is something that Trump cultivated as well. Trump brought down the hammer on specific people only when he saw war approaching, and kept America out of any new wars as a result. This made Trump the most anti-war candidate of the modern batch. 

So Kubrick's point is an excellent one. 

I've also noticed there's quite a bit of silence from the left on X now. However, Kubrick has taken quite a beating from the left in the recent past, as this isn't the first time she's expressed opinions they don't like. The Daily Beast, for instance, referred to her as being "far right," and a spreader of "anti-vax propaganda." They accused her of antisemitism for using the term "globalist" to describe people like Bill Gates, which the Beast calls a "Hitlerian" slur. 

 They'll likely try to write this off as Kubrick just being insane, but it's pretty clear that she's hardly the craziest person in the Hollywood room. 

Regardless, it just shows that Trump's use of "Full Metal Jacket" is spot on here, and the left doesn't fully understand the concept that in order to have peace, strength must be cultivated.
