I'm kind of torn. I am pretty anti military irl but I do like a good military set up in fic and shows. It has the whole ra ra band together makeshift family dynamic built into it, and in fantasyland you can make it so the military actually gives a shit about the people and is there to help and isnt totally corrupt. Its a fun general idea. And most of the military fic I read is really team and mission focused, which I also like.

All that blathering aside, I do understand there is also ultra conservative military wet dream stuff which might be more what you're talking about and then I'd agree that is dnw. And if its too focused on praising and glorifying the military then I dnw that either.

Its complicated.

I differentiate between mythologizing real world military (particularly the US military) and having fictional militaries in a scifi/fantasy setting because it would be realistic to do so.

Like, for example, Babylon 5 doesn't romanticize the military. And in fact, the main characters end up starting a civil war.

Star Wars OT, both sides have a military set up, even if one is the actual current military of the universe and the other is the rebellion.

If you have war, you are going to have some kind of military. What I don't like is the romanticization of real world military that is seriously problematic (same way I feel about the romanticization about real world police), even in fictionalized form.

I'm ex-military, and nobody is more cynical and jaded than we are!

(Except for the dickwads who get their masculinity reinforced by it and conservatives, but fuck them lol.)

I'm not a fan of gung-ho military plots, but brothers/sisters in arms and found family are good.
