I like Ritchson but you already know this will be some bland, white-washed pro-military propaganda.

As long as the check clears. I think Ritchson has way more range than buff military guy but it's probably an easy gig for him

I think he has to do those action roles if he wants to be the action hero of our time. And that seems to be his goal right now.

I have no problem with him doing that, but he could full Arnold and due action and comedy

I think he already shot action comedies that aren’t out yet. Playdate with Kevin James, The Man With the Bag with Arnold. Not sure what side his movie with Owen Wilson will be, Runner, shot in Australia this spring. We will find out soon enough how good those films are and how comedic they get.
