SCANDEL where the indoor Marine Sentry is standing beside the door holding his cover in his hand. Not under arms or anything. Just standing there with his cover out in front. Does this REALLY happen?

I love the "haircuts, the beards (and their not SEALS either), and most of all the medals on the BDU's , I don't think anyone in Hollywood, at least in the last 30 years, has ever been a member of the Armed Forces. The old black and white World War 2 movies were the best, most of the actors in those actually at one time served!
Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart to name just a couple.

The first 120 minutes of The Hurt Locker.... the last 10 or so after he comes home and doesn't know which way is up was pretty accurate though...

It is hard for me to say. There are so many of them. The biggest is when they enter a building to clear it and start yelling at the of their lungs the name of their branch and their country. An example would be me entering a brick building yelling "US Marines, come out with your hand where I can see them." If there was an ambush or hostiles I would have spoiled the surprise and told them that I was there and coming for them. While this might alert non-hostiles it destroys the shock and aw of me suddenly appearing to stomp a new zip code into a hostile and get me killed.

Under Siege.
In the movie, old salty former crew members on the USS Missouri (a museum ship) moved a 16" HE shell from aft forward to fire from Turrent 1. The shells weigh 2700 pounds. Also it takes a minimum of 77 crew members to operate a 16" gun turret. There's no way the crew in the movie could have fired the shell.

I think most observation goes out the window after Erika Eleniak pops out of the cake...

I also liked it when Steven Seagal made a bomb and put it in the microwave. He somehow knew exactly when the bad guys would be nearby and timed it perfectly to explode when the timer dinged. But he was a SEAL after all. And in the movies, SEALS/SF/Delta/etc. can do anything.
