Yea they were constantly murdering civilians and fucking up basic shit like abandoning their own supplies (including the special magic flag!) and having to ration their food because they abandoned all their MREs in the desert. Not to mention a bunch of friendly fire and other random fuck ups. I don't know how anyone could watch that series and come to the conclusion "waow the marines are heckin' based soldiers! Oorah!"
The hollywood initiative has paid dividends for the military. Consulting on basically every major picture that even wants to shoot a profile shot of a helicopter, with control of the script means that negative portrayals of the military are few and far between. The official podcast of hexbear talked about it

Hollywood is one of main drivers of US propaganda for a reason.

Don’t worry, the gaming industry is happy to take over/pile on the propaganda. They even get paid by the arms makers to develop them.
