Jacked up how? Desert fatigues weren't all that common when I got out of the Army ages ago.

I didn't understand them driving out to the middle of nowhere after being in Bagdad. I wasn't sure how realistic that would have been.

I thought the characters and acting were stupendous. I didn't come away with war being addictive. It seemed to me that Renner's character wasn't so much addicted as he was in trying not to think about his experiences or cope with them. I really have got to watch this again. I didn't feel I got enough out of it the first time around.
