Really great read! And a cringy trip down memory lane for myself having spent way too many hours of my childhood on this trash. At least the second one the main villain is an American general lol.
The more stuff like this I read, the more it really blows me away how all encompassing the MIC’s reach is into media.
The second one has a mission where you just kill "rogue" American soldiers followed by the next mission where you are in the middle of a battle of Russian and American soldiers and are supposed to kill both of them.
General Shepard was portrayed as a bad apple betraying “true america”. Alas at least nowadays that game is mostly taken as shipping material.
