Film Portrayal of American Soldiers on Patrol

[Flying10uk]

War film portrayals of American soldiers on patrol, in a combat zone, often seem to show them making as much noise as humanly possible, such as shouting and talking to each other. Obviously such behaviour is likely to give away the patrol's position to any enemy forces in the area yet so many war films involving American soldiers seem to show this sort of behaviour while they are out on patrol. I am not ex military and I have not really come into much contact with many American ex-soldiers but surely this is not typical of how the American soldier generally behaves while out on patrol?
