I hate how accurate you are. There's no other reason it would be government backed ESPECIALLY during war time where they're pissing money away and losing their soldiers left and right without be able to fill the open spots.
Well, the reasons are probably:
Call of Duty is very literally the greatest military recruitment tool the US government has and I'm pretty sure the c-levels at Activision have been full of former state department officials for the last 15 years
I remember seeing a documentary about Tom Cruise and how the movie Top Gun made lots of young people sign up for the military. Just a fun fact, not arguing against you.
I know that to get the US military to let you use their planes or their boats they need approval on the final film so tobget the really good shots and set pieces you have to let yourself be used as propaganda
From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.
