Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily focuses on the valor, sacrifice, and camaraderie of American soldiers during a harrowing battle, emphasizing individual and collective heroism in the face of extreme adversity, which aligns with right-leaning themes of military honor and duty.
The movie features a cast that reflects the diversity typically found within a military unit, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on the valor and experiences of soldiers, framing traditional identities in a neutral to positive light without centralizing DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary

These expressions of faith are portrayed with respect and as a genuine aspect of their coping mechanisms and identity, without critique or satire from the narrative.
Islam is primarily depicted through the actions of the Afghan insurgents, who are the film's antagonists and are shown engaging in violent attacks against American forces. While the film focuses on combat, the association of the religion with the enemy's extremist ideology and destructive actions, without significant counterbalancing nuance, results in a problematic portrayal.
