Hehe I get what you are saying. But its realism up to a point that interests me.
Meeting a sailor out in the desert and have him join the team because he helps them out doesn't really smell right to me. Having a guy work his way up the chain of command and join the team on his merits as a sailor man (along with a pet parrot named polly) is more real to me.
I guess I want the reality thats akin to fuzzy science (if you know the term? - hmmm if its the right term that I remember
)
Cartoons and comics should be fantastic and out of the ordinary - normal stories wouldn't really satisfy anybody, you need that little bit of escapism to make it interesting. But again in the comics they used a lot of real world military lingo, had real guns (not laser guns) and people died! (well less then would be in real life - but I can't remember anybody dying in the cartoon).
