Are military movies hard to watch because they are poorly executed?

Same thing happens with a lot of professions. My BIL won't watch anything about doctors. When my husband and I went to see Die Hard 2 we literally laughed out loud during the scenes in the ATC Tower, hubby was an Air Traffic Controller.

Besides all the technical and uniform issues, Hollywood puts us in two basic categories 1. Blood thirsty killers or 2. To stupid to find a “real” job.
Both are offensive. All because modern Hollywood can’t understand the patriotism or need to serve, all of us must be “crazy”…

I'm not allowed to comment during any movie that has any military in it.

I have to watch the silly ones. The few that are realistic stay with me too long afterwards and I end up self medicating, again, and again.

It isn't hard for me but then I don't have combat experience or even that much after AIT. My biggest aggravation is when they call a sergeant sir as they so often do.

I would say that the best movies that I thought were spot on was platoon and Full metal jacket and if
I watch them I have some serious bad dreams. And is no fun.

Yes most are really bad or not very realistic or factual. I've walked out on quite a few over the past few years. The only ones I liked were " Sands of Iwo Jima" "From Here to Eternity" "Saving Private Ryan" and " Band of Brothers".. the rest are too much Hollywood and not enough the true story. I met a Marine Pilot at a Marine Birthday Ball who told me "Ba Ba Black Sheep" was a farce and he ought to know since he flew with Papi Boyington on Guadalcanal.

I try to take most of them for what they are, a Hollywood script with it's additions to make it exciting for civilians. Inevitably it still kicks in and I can't help myself, I have to point out the inaccuracies.

the first of the three you listed hurt locker why

i dont really care how tech they are but what is the the story and its relavence
