I agree with Growler Hollywood makes movies to entertain the masses there is no reason to expect any movie to 100% accurate the goal is to entertain people.
Any film that gets people interested is a good thing.I am willing to bet that many many history buffs got introduced by some Hollywood style show or movie.What got me into to military history was Black Sheep Squadron re-runs that I saw when I was around 10.That show is rather inaccurate ans stylized but I liked it and it got me interested.Another show was MASH also not that accurate but again it got me interested a third show was Tour of Duty again not the most accurate but it got me interested and got my father talking about Vietnam when he had not in years.
I bet you that there are young men that played Call of Duty:Black Ops and the SOG in it and wanted to find out the real story about them.
