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

I don't remember the movie. But when a KC-135 is refueling a plane, the plane suddenly goes up and causes the boom to snap and both planes explode. As soon as the receiver aircraft started to rise, the boom would automatically disconnect.

Movie Dear John, his rank was upside down. In Rambo, COL Trautman ribbons were messed up, and I think he was wearing bolo badges. He was also wearing unit crest on his beret, not the Bird.

No movie helo pilots have heard of autorotation. They just fall out of the sky.

Ssgt Freeman, agreed! Myself and any other former Marine I know (notice, people, I didn’t say EX-Marine) get bent out of shape about being called “soldier.” And civilians don’t understand why.

Without a doubt...the engine sounds of aircraft. Constantly every helicopter sounds like a Bell 47. (TH-13). Radial engines sound different than V-12s....50s and early 60s jet engines are drastically different than later models. If you are filming anything, record what you are using! It’s Not that hard!

The proper military salute

1. G.I. Jane (the entire movie)
2. Courage Under Fire (Meg Ryan is anti-military in real life)
3. Top Gun, the parts with Tom Cruise.

Although I am a big fan of The Duke, I would have to say the movie The Green Berets was the biggest crock of horseshit ever depicted on the screen..Kelly’s hero’s was more realistic...The movie was total propaganda. When the film was made the Vietnam war was at the peak of it’s i’m popularity in the states… This movie was an attempt to sway the American public that it was a righteous war. Soldiers that were in Vietnam and served already in Vietnam that saw that movie...laughed hysterically when they first saw it. It was a running joke in the US military. The laughingstock of the US Army at the time. Although I really do believe that John Wayne thought the movie was accurate in it’s depiction of the war, I criticize him for not investigating what was really going on over there. His heart was definitely in the right place but he should have done some investigating Before filming...I’m in barest to be an American every time I see that movie. Again, what a crock of horseshit.

Unlimited ammo, first the rifle having a suppressor on it then it doesn’t or vice versa, flaming inferno of a standard Greg grenade, Ridiculous uniforms/patches severely messed up, and ridiculous weapons/ weapon accessories.

Everything about Peral Harbor except the destruction of Airzona.
