The disclaimer is standard because it includes everything. They can literally say or do anything and they wouldn't have to be responsible for the audience's reaction.
Being in the army or any security force is a respectable profession because of the selflessness and responsibility but it's a profession nonetheless. Like any profession, they have rules, perks and responsibilities. Not to say, what our security forces do is any less heroic or selfless because it isn't, but in layman's terms, it is a job. So, I personally don't see a reason for them to put out a separate disclaimer, but it's okay if others do.
You're absolutely right about the knowledge bit.
Re. Faizi: ooh when?
As might've been obvious, I haven't paid too much attention to the uniform differences because I don't expect them to get it right, and if they are important to the story, they would state it explicitly. But I do like spotting bloopers. It helps break the barrier between fiction and reality for a bit and reminds me that there's a whole crew helping make the show what it is.
I guess we will beat to no end 🙂. Anyway!
Just had one point to ponder over:
(I guess one doesnt have to be a lawyer for that)
Just by observation, you would have noticed that historicals and period drama have a different Disclaimer, similarly anything involving environment and wildlife, sensitive content.
If the standard disclaimer is ALL encompassing, why are there separate templates for different genre? It could be, because, there are additional clauses with may/may not be covered in the standard disclaimer, right?
Like, "No animals were harmed", "The story is fictional and dramatized based on real events".
Another example of fruitful discussions leading to encouraging research 🙂!
