After that movie, the influence the DoD had was much more subtle if it was there at all.

Their involvement is blatant. They literally have a near century long intimate relationship with Hollywood as a well established recruitment tactic. It's hardly a secret.

Damn didn't realize they were involved in every single film made by Hollywood. Really explains a lot about Finding Nemo
