foxnews.comOn Tuesday, Washington Post columnist Max Boot waged war with conservatives over the new Top Gun: Maverick movie almost a month after it came out.

"But according to many right-wing commentators, the actual reason it’s so popular is that it’s so conservative," Boot wrote.
He cited various conservative outlets praising the film.
