Everybody has seen sometimes humorous but often times annoying military stereotypes displayed ion the movies or media. Which ones have you yelling at the TV set?

One that really gets on my nerves is that all military members and their spouses are unfaithful during periods of separation. Makes us look like crap!

I absolutely hate whenever I see a soldier on TV. Why? Because 9 out of 10 times whether it be ACUs or Dress Blues, there is something wrong with their uniform. It drives me nuts!!!

Unrealistic and historically inaccurate movies in general. Several examples in the late 1970s and 1980s (Rambo, Missing in Action) with unlimited clips, mortars rounds within 5 ft with no effect, firing a SAM through a windshield to hit a helicopter, general indiscipline, criminality, etc). With that said, there were some great movies in the 1950s (Tora, Tora, Tora; Midway, The Longest Day, Run Silent Run Deep) as well as the late 1990s/2000s (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, U571, The Great Raid). Keep in mind that historically accurate does not mean true to history. A made up movie set in WWII, for example, can still replicate the uniform, weapons, material, and effects in a historically accurate manner. The reason this is a pet peeve for me is that many civilians with no clue at all about the military, watch a movie and form their impressions of the military based on the movie even if the movie is unrealistic and historically inaccurate.
