Military Errors


I hate to nitpick but when did the Army let its junior officers wear Fu Manchus? The captain in the movie made it almost unwatchable for me. I can forgive a comedy like M*A*S*H* for such oversights but not a drama. Also, any US Army installation is a POST, not a base. Air Force, Navy and Marines have bases, not the Army. It doesn't bother me that civilians, either actors or in real life use the term Army Base but professional soldiers such as those in the movie know the difference. Also, a warrant officer's title is Mr. I am now going to find a life.

You are right on all accounts. I am watching the movie now. I just saw the black male MP with the mustache and goatee....so it is not like he has a non-shaving profile...UGH...I hated those! (I was an active duty Army MP)...he was able to shave the rest of his face, so i don't get it...and yes, a CWO has the title of "Mr" but you can Sir them (if only once) ane you only have to salute them once a day...lol

also, there are enough a**hole MPs in the US Army...but I hate having it shoved into my face. Like the female MP CPL who is throwing herself at a CWo....granted, they are Warrent Officers are glorified NCOs, but it still makes her look like a whore....and she should stick to other E-4's - E-6's...and him being CID.....plus, I don;t even think Lou has aged that gracefully...but just mo....
