Heartbreak Ridge
Please don't confuse entertaining for reality. As a former Marine, I found this movie quite embarrassing.

I hated the stupid ‘effing Heartbreak Ridge. The only worthwhile part was a few seconds of the P7s doing a surf and sand.

I watch Heartbreak Ridge to be entertained, not educated. It is great entertainment. I can understand that your proximity to the real thing might not make it your cup of tea.
I’m not under any illusions about the pinpoint historicity of it. So thanks for commenting on it, and thanks for serving. I was Army myself.
