I wish someday Hollywood would make a realistic movie about small unit jungle patrolling in Vietnam (not the line doggies in large infantry sweeps - I'm talking about U.S. Army LRRP or Marine Force Recon teams).

It won't happen, of course, because the market demographics are not there for it to be profitable as movie.  They would have to tack on some utterly asinine romantic subplot to try and attract some female viewers, and the whole thing would go to hell from there.

But still, I can wish.

If they accurately portrayed a recon mission, the film would bore the audience.
