"Not all movies hire a military adviser, said retired Marine Capt. Dale Dye, who has served as an adviser on a number of movies including "Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan."
"They figure that the wardrobe people will do their research," Dye said. "The problem is wardrobe people who've never worn a uniform can do their research but they don't know what they're talking about. They don't know how to wear it. They don't have the insight."
In some cases, wardrobe folks like certain uniforms for the way they look, not whether they are authentic, he said.
"I don't allow that," Dye said, "If I see it, we go to blows. I've said to costume designers, 'Where the hell did you come up with this? What is this?' 'Oh, it just looked cool.' And it immediately comes off."" H/T: Ace
