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

I was never in combat. I served during the Cold War.
HOW I PRAY for ALL of YOU who are fighting now; who have fought in the past and who will fight in the future.
I guess I am exceedingly naïve, and cussing and swearing come with the territory when one is in combat; and maybe they are even 'warranted'....however, that is why I turn off combat movies.
Any opinions?

For years after returning from Vietnam I would not watch movies from the era. I was there in 1971. It was 1980 before I watched Platoon. I was worried about my response since I am PTSD. When I watched the movie I thought of how stupid it was for them to put a newbie on Point. Now I do ridicule so much of the stuff as being incorrect. It is laughable since they are suppose to have EXPERTS on the military to help them. Maybe I need to apply for a job as many veterans would do a much better job.

Have you watched Last Ship? I think they did a good job on it.

I just can't stand all of the swearing and the cussing; so I turn the TV movie off.

it really is hard to watch most of them. between hip firing an M-16 on full auto (It cant go auto) or really unrealistic ways of entering a room, I will usually laugh but sometimes I just walk out of the room because the producers just don't do their homework.

Only when they are poorly made.
I find myself critiquing all kinds of stuff out of place, irritating the hell of me!

I have times when I'm watching military movies, where I can't take them serious because they are so FUBAR'd.
There are other times, when the film is done really well, and it takes me back to that space and time in my life, and I just break down uncontrollably, scream, get really amped up. I then go through depression, aniexty, anger, needing to separate myself from the world and my family. It has taken my family a lot of understanding to know how to deal with my issues, but they and I have come along way. I'll never be the same, and I'll never be 100%, but I'm learning to be able to put myself in a better head space & timing.

I actually enjoy military movies and do find myself pointing out inconsistencies. One thing is I can watch a war movie that depicts a war older then myself (such as a Vietnam or WWII movie) any night of the week, but I have to be in a special mood to watch one that depicts Iraq or Afghanistan. Those still feel to real to me.

Every. Single. Time. My wife hates watching military movies with me, because I have no brain to mouth filter. I see something wrong and I often yell out "Bullshit!" regardless if we're watching the movie at home or at a theater!

Tonight I watched, "The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1". As they landed their air craft I asked my wife or I was just thinking outloud, "When they exit the air craft, why aren't they setting up a parameter around the air craft with their muzzles pointed outward until the air craft leaves". Then I realized I am in the Army, and I am watching a move.
