The armed forces help filmmakers by letting them use military vehicles,other hardware, and land, saving the studios millions of dollars in expenses. In return for this service though, the military often asks for changes to the movie\show, changes which ALWAYS make the armed forces look better. With disturbing regularity the filmmakers, even the big name one, cave in. Ridley Scott removed a scene from "G.I. Jane" because a Navy Commander said it "carried no benefit to the U.S. Navy." The producers of "Top Gun" obtained Naval cooperation only after they changed Kelly McGillis' charecter from an enlisted woman to a civilian (fraternization between officers and enlistees is a no-no). A marine Major complained about "The Jackal" because helicopter pilots didn't have an "integral part of the action, they are effectively taxi-drivers." Once director Micheal Jones changed the script, giving the fly-boys a better role, the Marines cooperated. Some filmmakers drool on themselves in an attempt to appease the military. Dean Devlin, the writer and producer of "Independance Day", told the pentagon, "If this doesn't make every boy in America want to fly a fighter-jet, I'll eat this script." Disney told retired soldiers, " We firmly believe that with the support of the U.S. military, "Armageddon" will be the biggest film on 1998, while illustrating the expertise,leadership and heroism if the military. Among the film that were given military cooperation after passing the acceptibility test were: Air Force One, A Few Good Men, From Here to Eternity, The Hunt for Red October, Pearl Harbor, Apollo 13 and Tora Tora Tora. Some that didn't meet with approval were Forrest Gump, Apocolypse Now, Catch 22, DR. Strangelove, An Officer and a Gentleman, Platoon and SGT Bilko.

I found the episode on telly today, where a real general appearred in the programme. His name is General Ryan, and I even found the script online.
He was and is a proper General with the military. Ask yourself, why would the military allow one of their generals appear in a sci-fi programme, unless there is something that they are trying to sublimely communicate to us.
For an active member of military to appear in such a programme requires a lot of red tape normally. You can't even write a book about the military in a America without proper authorisation. They have to know the details of what the contents are before any aspect of the military protocol can be used. I think this is still valid today, but I know it was the rule when my first husband was in the Air Force.
The episode is 'Prodigy' Season four of STARGATE SG-1
The general actually goes through the stargate with them. It seems strange to me that an actual military general would have such a big part in a science fiction drama, or is it all science fiction. Is there a thread of truth weaving through the scripts of Stargate and Stargate:Atlantis? I think there is, but it is done so cleverly that the thread of truth is hard to discern.

Do you have a source for that other than Wikipedia?
