Is Hollywood accurate in making war movies?

The Vietnam War movie titled "Platoon" was fairly accurate. But the primary reason for that was because the director of the movie, Oliver Stone, had served in the 25th Infantry Division (depicted in the movie), fought in Vietnam, and experienced some of the actions depicted on the screen; as well as going thru the experiences of the charactor portrayed by actor Charly Sheen. Many, if not most, movie directors have not been in a war. That lack of experience will be reflected in their movies.
