You develop a "sense of humor", where you can joke about dead bodies and horrific events. Don't worry, I've read plenty of first hand Vietnam war accounts. Just saying, the lines been drawn significantly since Vietnam. And you have to understand some of those shows are humored up for creative liscense. It'd be boring as shit if everyone was a hardass throughout the whole show or movie.
