This is political discrimination.

Military bases do have theaters and movie screenings on a regular basis. They also partner with Hollywood studios for special screening events.

The Army and Air Force Exchange Service is offering free exclusive military screenings of “Elvis” at Air Force and Army bases worldwide Saturday, nearly two weeks before the new release hits theaters stateside.
AAFES is partnering with Warner Bros. to screen the film at more than 20 Army and Air Force bases, including Ramstein Air Base, Germany, where the free showing starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Exchange Reel Time Theater. Doors open at 10:30 a.m., and seats will be available on a first-come basis.
AAFES theaters are currently screening the Barbie movie, Nun II, Oppenheimer, The Flash, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. But the Sound of Freedom is a no-go because, apparently unlike Barbie or Oppenheimer, both of which are leftist screeds, it’s too ‘Christian’ and political.
U.S. Southern Command, or SOUTHCOM, has canceled two planned showings of the Christian thriller “Sound of Freedom” at its headquarters in Doral, Fla., the command confirmed Wednesday.
The summer’s surprise box office hit about a former federal agent rescuing children from sex trafficking has earned nearly $182 million in the U.S. and Canada since its July 4 release.
The free screenings, originally planned for Aug. 28 and Oct. 19, were canceled after Military Times inquired about the event, according to the outlet. Critics have also questioned the showing of a political-leaning and heavily Christian faith-based movie on a federal base — especially as troops are required to remain apolitical at work.
Really? Are they?
How exactly does remaining apolitical jibe with all the critical race theory endorsed by the military brass? Troops aren’t required to remain apolitical when watching movies in their free time. This is just political discrimination by the ruling leftist elite.
It’s fine to air leftist screeds in movie theaters, just nothing that even implies anything conservative.
This is political discrimination.
