I was fortunate(?) in that I've only run with non-veterans, and having been the most military-enthused member of a group. My own level of military enthusiasm is to study at the level above RPGs. That is, I read a lot about the generals' level of the war, not usually the grunts'-eye view. I stopped caring a lot about the minutia of weapons systems a long time ago.

I did run with some fellow ROTC cadets once (see sig), but they didn't really like RPGs so it didn't last long. The non-ROTC guys were the ones that later broke the game up over intra-party conflict (executing prisoners, as I've said before).

I made a point of including an NPC NCO sometimes, so that I could insert a "voice of wisdom" sometimes: "Uh, sir, charging that would be a bad idea. Let's take cover instead."
