SEVERE FLASHING!!! Computers flash as well as gun fire and electric rounds in training that flash. One of the computers flashes almost 10 times in what feels like a second. These scenes WILL cause seizures. Use caution.

kind of? the imagery (uniforms, propaganda film style) mimics that of n*zis and that era of film. the director isn't sympathizing with the n*zis but this imagery is very prevalent.
