    congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument

    Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.

    military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt

    The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.
