I really don’t like the way Hollywood portrays or elite team that protect our country from the school of the Earth. Teams like this keep Americans safe and yet Hollywood tries to brain washed the public with nonsense that helps no one….. Overwatch needs to be a real everyday thing protecting our country from the left-winged partisans who wish to destroy everything.
