Hollywood often has a misleading portrayal of military service as a ticket to success, with the portrayal of veterans landing high-paying jobs after their service, which is not true. These movies focus on GI Bills as a means to have free access to free college education and other opportunities, which is not true as GI bills, though they provide benefits, often have limitations that are not shown in these movies. Showing veterans having easy access to success can lead to unrealistic expectations and stigma.
