“Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war film is incongruous with promoting the idea of ​​a harsh, unwoke American military and thus war itself – however – we live in very dangerous and strange times and so using these images is undoubtedly purely opportunistic, as I am sure the irony of using the FMJ images is not lost on Trump or his team: Trump always seeks to end wars and use peaceful methods,” she wrote.

“However, this is above all what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature. And so, on this planet of teeth and claws, you need a very strong army – so I will hold to the idea that FMJ’s footage was used primarily because of its powerful and realistic depiction of boot camp, juxtaposed with the totally demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the US military. which I agree with myself and which I am sure my father would have agreed with.

“In truth, I believe my father (who supported Reagan) would be all for saving America, and indeed the world, from the highly destructive globalist forces that threaten to take over this planet. What if these FMJ images help Trump make his case that “The US military needs properly trained, super-tough, focused and dedicated warriors, without introducing the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to enlist simply so that their sexual reassignments are paid for, so Trump has my blessing.”

“Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you that he had a deep understanding of the paradox of human nature! Which explains that at the same time as he was making anti-war films, he had a great passion for weapons (self-defense, not hunting) and he had quite a few! My father had a great respect for life – his films being irrefutable proof of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, so on that basis I am very confident that he would be! I am a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!” she concludes.
