The show took a lot of shots at the military, but it never dwelled on it. I feel like it took just the right amount.
The uniforms did add a USAF patch on the sleeve in season 5, which is often called the “Area 51 Apology Patch”. Might be seen as cheap brownie points with the military, but it also makes sense within the show, so not immersion breaking.
