The article begins innocuously enough:
“Hollywood’s depiction of the U.S. military is often laughably inaccurate to many Americans who wear their country’s uniform.”
True enough. But then, in reference to Michael Bay’s Transformers:
“The Army has never fought giant robots, but if we did, this is probably how we’d do it.”
(This is the first and, I promise, last reference to Transformers on Culture Snob.)
