I dont Like either candidate, I LOVE Halo. question answered

Dear 343i, After just Foward Unto Dawn Episode 1 I Overall liked it, interesting perspective, looks to be an interesting story with interesting characters. I do have one gripe however, as a veteran, nothing felt believable because everything military, mannerisms, commands, etc all seemed just a bit off. Why couldnt you guys use Veterans as advisors, or better yet, as actors, or at least put these guys in a boot camp enviroment for a couple of weeks crawling in the mud, sleeping in a hole without showers, nothing but MREs to eat, some ex Drill Instructors and Drill Seargents Yelling at them all while expected not to break discipline, not to break down keeping the standard and keeping each other on their feet. Maybe then, they will be worthy. That mixture of misery, humuliation and pride you too often feel as a soldier is too hard to fake. That habbit of grunting commands and doing the airborne shuffle comes from mind numbing exhaustion and sore vocal chords. Should have ran the crap out of them yelling real cadences for miles before that scene was even filmed. There are plenty of us veterans out there and alot of us need work. Maybe Im wrong and you did take these steps in which case I will blame it purely on directing. 343i, I love what you are doing and I love halo so keep doing what you are doing, just had one bone to pick. Best Regards, DriftingMustang
