I understand what you are saying.

This search actually started because of a comment about a murder mystery that had a retired Army Officer as the main character. I kept getting comments like: "he couldn't be an officer -- had to be a MSG," and "doesn't this guy know anything about the Army?" I was trying to find some good fiction that had current or former military who, at the least, didn't do or say things that would be completely out of character for the individual or the service.

Is there such a thing as unrealistic fiction? LOL
