It's 'Resources Development Administration', and not 'Recources Development Authority'


No one is bashing the US Armed Forces, however, in the film, there is a lot of sithings suggesting that they were Americans, like for example:

The RDA's uniforms, look at the style and those hats, that are mostly worn by USMC officers, the camo looks like a MARPAT/AOR2 mix, granted it's not in production right now, and was spacificly made for the movie, however it looks like a 'evolutionery step' of the MARPAT/AOR2 (there NOT the same, but are close, and both camos look very simular, to the RDA/SecOps camo.

The weapons, the GS-221 CARB was modeled after the MR-C by Crye, which is an American weapon

And like the kitchen in Hell's Gate, on the window, the covers make up 13 stripes, and the monitor is on the left-were the blue part with the stars are on the us flag. When Jake goes there, since the kitchen is also used as a briefing area, he has a t-shirt with the USMC logo.

and lastly, Quaritch says: 'You are not in KANSAS any more...' which is a state in the USA, and there is a well known army training centre there, so even if they were not the USMC, or US ARMY, the RDA were American, And JC wanted to show, that the US isn't exactly just apples and oranges, I mean, who murdered the so called Native Americans? who didn't bomb the cocentration camps although they were flying over them in WWII? who had camps for japanese soldiers in WWII and the vietnam war, they treated the vietnamese population lkike sub-human trash.

In short: Just because something/someone is American, that DOES NOT make it good
