May the Armed Forces Be with You

The intersection of science fiction and the U.S. military reveals a deep influence of imaginative narratives on real-world weaponry and military culture. From historical innovations like the bazooka and atomic bomb to modern advancements such as drones, science fiction has shaped military technology. Additionally, superheroes, initially used to promote war bonds during World War II, have evolved into symbols in contemporary cinema, often depicted with military support, reflecting their role in modern warfare and national identity.
