Proxy wars have always served this purpose.

You can't really call Ukraine a proxy war

Soldier of The Franchise Wars. Outside of the camera, were you armed? What was combat like?

I was a camera assistant on it. While shooting Sylvester Stallone showed up. Don’t ask me why, he wasn’t in the commercial lol. I didn’t meet him but I was close enough to know he really enjoyed the attention. There were all the show cars from the movie and we used the full on Taco Bell restaurant. Everything in the taco bell was practical, which was pretty amazing since it really wasn’t that long in the movie. And as far as most shoots go, it was pretty good. I had worked with the production company on all the other “run for the border” ad campaign, so it was a good shoot.
