TV shows and movies: do military consultants get it right?

I want that job, and the first thing I would do is slap the....slap anyone wearing a beret. Yes, 87.3% or our solders mess it up, but good God just don't wear it if you think they are worn like the guy making pizza?

I had a friend of mine (PA officer) that actually did a tour as a Air Force PA in Hollywood. I believe each service has a PA office there as well.

While they are not consulted on everything involving the military, you can normally tell when they are/aren't.

He told me that Army PA was not consulted on the Incredible Hulk by Marvel - I think that's somewhat obvious after seeing the movie.

Transformers consulted both AF & Army (hence what I consider a pretty badass CAS scene in the desert) and he got to work on the first two Transformer movies - giving advice, consulting other AF members in certain career fields on advice about scenes/scripts.

Iron Man 1 & 2 also consulted with the AF PA office while he was working there and I think they did a pretty good job with both of those as well.
