    I almost wonder if they intentionally screw that sort of thing up so they’re not “ripping off” real soldiers’ customs.

    … But I’m being way too optimistic I think LOL.

    There’s so much like this in media where I’m like “You could have just asked? Like so many people could have happily walked you through making this authentic!!”

      I hadn’t considered your first point, maybe that’s it! I also wondered if maybe they just thought whatever they did looked “cooler”, so they went with that? Because yeah, you can totally hire a consultant for that kinda thing, or heck, just look it up online!
