Seriously? None of the explosions I’ve ever seen looked like that.  

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A new call center funded by multiple Hollywood production companies is starting to realize just how much veterans who have never deployed care about the details of military movies. The new complaint center’s call-handling software nearly crashed after being flooded with thousands of calls from those who “kind of served”.

“I never realized that so many veterans were able to detail the exact way Navy SEALs conduct close-quarter combat. And did you know that snipers don’t actually put their barrels through windows? You would be shocked how many Air Force Innkeepers do [know],” said Jack Sanderson, Call Center Director. “Innkeeper! Who even knew that was an actual Air Force Specialty Code?”

With approximately 18 million veterans in the United States, there are an estimated 12 million intently watching every military movie or show at any moment. Of them, 99% of them use the experience gained while never leaving the country, or their desk, to point out the inaccuracies in every aspect of combat operations.

“We started gathering call demographics and realized that we rarely get calls from combat veterans, our complaints come almost exclusively from POGs,” said Sanderson.
