This U.S. Army veteran points out errors on the 2009 movie "The Hurt Locker"

Then there’s that tank movie called Fury which has so many hilarious goofs in it.

It could not be as bad as farces like the Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now and other Vietnam related “war” movies.

I was asking my neighbor, who was awarded the Silver Star in Vietnam, about “Apocalypse Now”. I knew he had seen combat so valued his opinion.

He said the movie was full of errors but at points he did feel he was back there.

My late Dad would occasionally watch The Battle Of The Bulge - Henry Fonda version - and shout at the TV. I learned some interesting words that way.

Even "Saving Private Ryan" was hard to credit at numerous points. Worst of all was having Tom Hanks and his platoon wandering about the Normandy countryside, chatting and skylarking as if they were tween boys wandering in the woods at the edge of their subdivision.

Was it only WW1 that can be described as:
“War consists of long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of extreme terror.”

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

A realistic war movie would be watching a bunch of people doing things like repairing stuff, cleaning stuff, loading stuff, unloading stuff and dealing with the guy who demands "Where's my stuff?" War is a whole lot of grunt work, paperwork and waiting around for things to happen while watching your socks mold.

No one would ever go see a realistic war movie.

The best war movie I’ve ever seen is “Brest Fortress”.
