Cowboys' six-shooters can magically fire an unlimited number of rounds without reloading when shooting at redskins. In Normandy in WWII, US soldiers always bunched together, because staying in camera shot was more important than avoiding mass casualties from German machine guns, mortars and light artillery. In the Vietnam War, once again for the camera, US soldiers on patrol in ambush country always walked along hill crests on clear moonlit nights so they would be perfectly silhouetted for miles around. The US single-handedly found out the secret of Germany's Enigma coding machine in WWII when it captured the U571 in a Hollywood scriptwriter's imagination. This intelligence coup owed absolutely nothing to pre-war Polish intelligence or WWII British cypher breakthroughs, and in particular had nothing to with the Royal Navy's actual capture of the U100 with its real Enigma coding machine. American and British actors can portray white or black South Africans far more convincingly than white or black South African actors... And an Australian or NZ accent is pretty much the same as a British one...
