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

The mortar scene in Saving Private Ryan. They have 60mm mortar rounds but no gun, so they decide to use the rounds by striking the bottom on a rock to supposedly arm it and throwing it like a football...
1. Mortar rounds don't arm that way. There's a little fan in the nose that spins down a screw shaft and hits a contact plate. What they're banging on the ground right beside their feet is the main propellant charge. If they managed to set that off they would probably lose their foot from the ankle down .
2. The greatest pro quarterback in history couldn't throw it far enough to arm it. Which is a good thing, because they couldn't throw it far enough to be out of the kill radius either

Salutes are my pet peeve they should be crisp forearm parallel to the ground etc. Steven segall's in the one movie where he is in Navy dress whites just aggravates the hell outta me.

Everything about Rambo! Lol ! But cmon Stripes hit the nail in the head! Actually did the obstacle course and march drill on the doubke nickle at Ft. Knox which is in the movie. Ahhhh memories!

When radiomen say over and out. Over is an invitation for a response. Out means end of transmission. You never use both at the same time.

As a sub vet, “Crimson Tide” irritates me to no end! From the supply officer making that enlisted man do push ups on the bus, to that stupid dog that was allowed on board! Where are all those submariners running around to just because the boat is diving? That whole movie is devoid of any reality of submarine life.

Most of the NCOs I worked with were obsessed with ALWAYS asserting their authority with threats of counciling statements throughout the day. You never see that in any “realistic” military movies.

In top gun... Maverick gets into his f14.. then they show the wing and left portion of an at intruder. Or in Navy seals... Hotel at VA beach. They open the curtains and there are ships in the background... Uh... That's 20 miles away in Norfolk.

Haircuts and shaving. They usually always screw those up. I liked the movie “Crimson Tide”, but their depiction of submarine life and ops is so far off base that it’s comical..

Haircuts and uniform mistakes that would never ever be "corrected" immediately by your supervisor.

1. Fictitious ranks (Lt Commander, what the hell is that?).
2. Glamorization of officers.
3. No sense of military discipline or protocol.
