How do you know it's inaccurate? Were you in the First Gulf War, were you in that unit during the First Gulf War? If not than for all you know it is an accurate film... just because you don't like the idea of Lazy US Marines doesn't mean it isn't true.
   Why's his home life important, because it is part of who the character is and not all war movies need to focus on the fighting... the home front is part of every war just because it bores you doesn't mean it's not important. As for the series Over There, once again I ask have you fought in Iraq? The thing about TV series' is that they get one group to portray a whole bunch of scenarios.
     Both of these entertainment pieces may be fictious and completely out in left field but I can't say that for sure, and unless you fought in those places or fought anywehere for that matter in the US Armed Forces than neither can you. Leave the opinions of its realness and its accuracy to those that were there or have a similar experience giving them the knowledge to speak objectively.
