Casual Danger Dialog: Played absolutely straight and taken directly from the actual accounts of the Marines under fire.Attack! Attack! Attack!: Captain America.He was slated to be played by someone else, but the actor became ill. See also: Michael Herr's book, "Dispatches", also by a Rolling Stone contributor about the Vietnam War for a similar POV. The author himself has spoken out against media trying to use the book and miniseries as anti-military.Īs this pertains to a military operation, expect a lot of military tropes. The miniseries DVD extras include a discussion with the real Marines, during which this phenomenon is brought up: Ray Person tells a story about meeting people who, despite his own ability to validate the material, refused to believe American serviceman would even swear so much, while Gunnery Sergeant Colbert hypothesized that this mindset among some viewers might be traced back to the tendency of older war movies to depict war as more civilized and glamorous to the point where it's become a case of Reality Is Unrealistic. Negative reactions tend to be questioning of the material's validity at best, and accusations of it being anti-military, biased and fabricated at worst. This complete lack of political correctness in favor of realism is a major cause of criticism for both the book and series. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
