The fantastical portrayal of those few nuggets of truth cut into its effect.
Its nice that someone wants to bring up PMCs in a mainstream piece of entertainment, but this is presented as G.I. Joe teaching PMCs. Its flashy and simple and doesn't elicit real world thought. I learned nothing about PMCs from the game, beyond the definition of what they are.
There isn't a weight to it beyond how it applies in the fictional context it is being presented in. Probably for the best, because Kojima's anti-war, anti-nuke messages aren't very developed either.
Love the story. As long as it is just a story.
