Comic book publishers follow Hollywood like lemmings over the cliff when stories involve the American military. These two forces within the Entertainment - Industrial Complex, far to often, portray soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines as either victims or villians. A group of veterans, however, have banded together and are grabbing this insulting trend by the nose and kicking it in the a**, to paraphrase George C. Scott, as Gen Patton.
Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment's mission is to "create stories that are
by soldiers, about soldiers and for soldiers. It's not about politics, it's about supporting our men and women who serve in harm's way every day." Don't let the "for soldiers" bit scare you. This company is targeting anyone who has been, knows or cares about those serving in the American military.
CFE has only one project listed;
City of Fire. Let's see what the retailers do with this title. Let's hope, for the sake of the veterans at CFE, that they buck the anti-military trend within the product they typically stock.
