some filmmakers and not others if you are willing to give your script to the pentagon and let them review it before you shoot the movie and if they have any changes that they want to make if they want to take out a portrayal of the military that they think is negative that will hurt their recruiting goals. if they want that taken out and you agree that you'll take that out or to put in something that's more positive to help them recruit people then though assist you with your movie then you can the great you access to aircraft carriers and submarines and tanks and ships and planes and if you don't play ball with them they won't give you that stuff that's unconstitutional because the supreme court has ruled over and over and over again that. the first amendment states that. congress shall make no. so make no law abridging the freedom of speech the supreme court has ruled that that means that the government cannot favor

one form of speech over another and that's exactly what the pentagon does if you say what they want you to say the hope you would tax payer funded equipment and if you don't play ball they won't help you but these are just you know this is just movies this is just being detained why is it that important it's a form of speech and that's what the constitution protects government interference and the government can't give you tax breaks by saying nice things about them. movies our form of speech is like a book if a book if people thought that their newspapers or our books were being sanitized by the military if the military was telling book writers or newspapers what to take in and want to take out of their scripts people be outraged why do you think so few people are aware of the situation. at the end of every movie at the very bottom of the ball the credits pass all the the music and all the actors and all the drugs

everybody is in the long long list of credits at the very end they'll be a little things thing we great feeling gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the u.s. . army or air force and that's the only way you'll know that this is happening to the movie you just watched so you mention in their book that there was a link between the padding on and hollywood and that link was the film liaison office so why did that office do well right here in los angeles a few miles from the u.c.l.a. campus there's a tall building on one entire floor as the film liaison offices of the brink or air force army navy and the coast guard and they sit up there and they and filmmakers who want military assistance give them their scripts they look at the scripts they mark out what they think is they don't want and make suggestions on how to change the scripts to get approval then if they make a deal they sign a contract then once they start shooting the film they have

a military minder who actually comes on to the set to make sure that it's shot just the way it was agreed to be done and then before it's released to the public it has to be screened in washington d.c. for the generals and admirals i think the american people knew that their films were being sent to ty's by the military and then prescreened for the for the. in washington for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged so what kind of scripts for approved by the military and why the kind of scripts were blocked they want films and television shows they will aid in the recruiting and retention of military personnel they want people to see a movie and to be inspired by the heroics and join up and join the military. and if a film negatively portrays anyone in the military they consider that not helping their recruiting goals so they will not help any picture that shows war

crimes shows military people doing bad things drunk cursing you mention that they target children they really do they target children because they are the future recruits and there's. a great example letter that my book is based on thousands of pages of the pentagon's notes and to the producers and their own internal documents talking about how they're wanting to influence the the the film making. one of the notes was written from an air force. colonel to the producers of the the film the right stuff which is about their early days of the american space program the colonel of a told the producer of this picture the it was based on a book by tom wolfe which was filled with absurdities lots of cussing very funny very colorful book but the military didn't want that and the colonel wrote the

obscene language jews seems to guarantee an r. rating if distributed as an art cuts down on the teenage audience which is a prime one to the military services when a recruiting goals are considered so they they they change the script in accordance with what the military want and they they took out a bunch of the city and they got a a g. rating and then. actually got a p.g. rating right and then they got the target they got the target audience the by changing the script and so everybody was happy what are the benefits of such cooperation for hollywood what hollywood wants which is cheap access to really expensive military weaponry and hardware and personnel and hollywood has what the pentagon wants which is. an audience millions of eyeballs looking at their their their movie and thinking positively about the

military of course filmmakers have the right to say no they can certainly say no i'm not going to do and many have done that many many filmmakers of stood up have been and said no i'm not going to do and they made their own movies or in some cases they weren't able to make the movies and many films have not been made because they couldn't get this it's assistance from the military can you name a new popular a examples are popular movies that went through the military control before they were actually filmed james bond golden eye. one of the dupes in the film was american admiral and the milage is that no we'll help you but you have to change the national the admiral so they changed it to a french admiral but then later they wanted to go to they went to france to actually shoot the picture. and the friend said well you want some of our stuff will help you but you've got to switch the the the admiral to something else so the actually in the film it's a canadian hollywood filmmakers were just given access to classified information

concerning the bin laden s.s. nation what do you think of well when i was interviewing the for the book the producers of the films they would always say oh no we didn't give any trade off the only way you can really tell is by seeing the notes the producers and the exchange of correspondence between the military and the producers i haven't seen those notes i don't think anybody's seen those notes i don't know if there's been a trade off that there was no trade off i don't have a problem that the government wants to just release information to people and there's no quid pro quo there's no deal i think that's fine but is the problem is when there's a deal made behind the backs of the american people in violation of the constitution and american law that's what i object. how do you think this long term collaboration between the padding on and hollywood

a fact to the minds of the americans when the american people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and television shows that have been sanitized by the military and to make military seem more heroic than it really is and never wrong and always good that this creates a false image in the american people's mind and i think it's helped make the american people a more warlike people thank you thank you. i'm sure old guard you got a story or out about that crazy lady with a convertible that honk for the bridge there were times. i was on death row for nineteen years right there. that.

has condemned these people as less than human it is necessary to punish crime everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today in large part from the nazis and the sad part is state of texas gets their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until after he's dead. any time i leave the house. and he keeps telling me they can't hear me and they are. blocked from concrete but every time i go by. i won't be there i will not witness the killing myself.
