Line 239:
** In an early Christmas episode, Hawkeye has to climb down a rope, from a chopper, in enemy territory, ''under fire'', while dressed as Santa, to treat a wounded soldier, and all without being shot once, rather than the pilot landing to drop him off then taking off.
*** There wasn't anywhere to land. The terrain was broken, full of trenches, and possibly mined.
* In [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance|War and Remembrance]] [[Adolf Hitler]], excellently played by Steven Berkoff, goes into a rage at even the most sensible redeployment that implies moving rearward. And yes that is [[Truth In Television]] at least according to the testimony of captured German generals. Admittedly they had an inherent bias to claiming [[Unreliable Narrator|it was all Hitler's fault.]] But Hitler does at least seem to have given such orders repeatedly in [[Real Life]].
* ''V: The Final Battle'' was full of Hollywood tactics. Some examples:
** The aliens in the movie tend to stand around out in the open in brightly-colored uniforms, despite knowing that there are rebels who will attack them. When shooting starts, they tend to flock together, making themselves an easier target. At least those brightly-colored uniforms were bulletproof in the second miniseries.
