I disagree. The U.S. military was depicted as being practically saintly and Tony’s moral compass was an Air Force colonel. Tony only voiced criticism of the U.S. “military-industrial” structure while he was squatting on the floor eating a cheeseburger, decompressing from being tortured. I think it made the case quite cleanly – kick your enemy’s ass or he’ll kick yours.
