What is the biggest military movie/TV goof, basically the military Movie/TV mistakes that annoys you the most?

As a pilot, inaccuracies in flying scenes and machines drive me nuts. Movies that show the interior of one type of aircraft, such as a C-130, and then an exterior shot on a C-17, or jet noises for WWII prop planes. I recently watched a History Channel movie on the Normandy invasion during WWII. When they talked about the airdrops behind the beaches in France they showed footage of C-130s doing personnel drops. You'd think the History Channel could be more accurate. C-47s made most of the airdrops during the Normandy invasion and I'm pretty sure there's historical stock footage of C-47 airdrops. The C-130 wasn't brought into service for about another 10 years.

The other thing that bothers me is the seeming invincibility of US and Allied aircraft. In some movies the enemy aircraft shoot hundreds of rounds at US fighters, but never hit them. The US fighter gets 5 seconds of a good gun solution and smokes the enemy every time. That's pretty much pure fiction. The "bad guys" aren't always bad shots and the Americans aren't always super accurate.

I can deal with air-to-air or intergalactic combat scenes that show human, or at least organic, beings performing maneuvers that would generate forces that would kill most people. After all it's science fiction. It doesn't portend to be real, so a little unreal maneuvering of X-wing fighters for drama is okay.

Non-documentary movies and TV shows have always made bloopers when it comes to the military. I remember watching the TV show Six Million Dollar Man (I know that dates me) in one show he was a captain, a major and a LTC all within a half hour.

As an aside, each branch has media detachments available to the media for advice and to coordinate use (rental) of military property. Some choose to use the service and some don't. I was a member of the RTU (unpaid reservists) supporting the Army's LA detachment. You should see some of the stuff that got sent in for review. One "grade C" movie we panned, after the release, used two first lieutenants bars next to each other for the rank of Captain. The errors were entertaining in themselves.

On the American Heros Channel. An Army Captain in "Hitler, Evolution of Evil" with ribbons on his uniform that included the four from Vietnam.

F troop was quite the show and also Hogan Hero's

Especially rockets. I have never in my entire military career seen an AT4 or RPG make a swoosh sound when it's fired. Ever.

What about military novels? I started one a couple of weeks ago and the author must have made up the book as he went along. Totally silent machine guns, skids on an MH60 helo. Of course the SEAL team members had oode names like Psycho and Madman. I had to stop after the first chapter.

I hate to knock Tom Clancy, but his view on the enlisted man was terrible. He would put senior enlisted in positons filled by junior petty officers or non-rates. In one of his books he had a 30 year Master Chief take the helm during a storm.

AAAAAAAAAAAND when the grunts go out to fight some giant creature with rifles, and seem to have no game plan when the bullets are CLEARLY having no affect, so they just stand there shooting like idiots until they get stepped on.

When someone who gets shot with a 9 mm gets blown back as is he took a shot from an M2. Rank is always all ate up. Salutes would get someone dropped. The technology that the front line troops have in the movies is ALWAYS top of the line and not dirty or messy.
