Yeah, but Monday-morning quarterbacking is still fun...

I wouldn’t mind seeing some more of that from you guys with military experience…..perhaps on some other similar flicks.

Thank you.

Just throwing this out there…..(in regards to the accuracy of the uniforms).

I remember listening to the commentary on one of these types of movies (or it might have been ‘The Unit’ TV show which has commentary by Eric Haney) and they were saying that due to legal issues they purposely will not duplicate an exact current military uniform. They will always alter it slightly from the real thing.

I was never in the military (so I don’t know anything about those things) but I’ve never expected ANY movie to be realistic. I just like the guns and explosions.

I have really enjoyed this thread though. It has been very informative…..the real world has always been more interesting to me than fiction.
