More people need to watch this, too frequently have I seen people try to misframe the Empire in Star Wars as XYZ enemy of the US and the US as the Rebels, when it has always been against the US as allegory.
I regularly say that joining the military for me was like becoming a Storm Trooper. At least most people seem to understand that's not a good thing.
