「Points to US Army.」

COD has had creepy right wing ideology sewn into it at least as far back as Ghosts (which also featured -- I hear -- amazing dog levels) but yes, even recent one had messages more about _are you willing to make the tough choices [and commit atrocities] in the name of national security. That's pretty right-wing.

But that doesnt qualify as incitement to action (at least not in US law) because it isn't specific (e.g. Justice Thomas must be killed before he does any further damage to our civil rights )

Freedom of speech allows us to paint groups as bad guys in art, and it's up to our critics and curators to highlight these and other problematic features.
