For those not getting the post, the point is that even 80 years later, American pop culture implicitly understands the War as a defense of communism. That's what this Woody Guthrie song played in "Masters of the Air" means.
Of course Masters has a bunch of other points that bear criticism. The uneven CGI, hackneyed acting of many of the principal characters, the Tuskegee Airmen conducting bombing runs in P-51 Mustangs, an aircraft that was terribly unsuited to ground attack missions and was never pressed into that role until they were literally the only airframes available in Korea, 1950.
