I'm not sure how small the budget was for this but the producers could have gone to a local VFW and at least found someone to volunteer as a military technical liaison. This way the producers would have at least had some semblance of rank knowledge.
Throughout the first 15 minutes of the movie they have 2nd Lieutenants giving orders to 1st Lieutenants. They must have felt that a gold bar is superior to a silver bar. Completely unaware that a Butter Bar (2nd Lieutenant with a gold bar) is the lowest rank officer for the Army and Air Force. Warrant officers not withstanding. The 2nd Lt nurse giving orders to the 1st Lt nurse was pretty bad. The infantrymen saluting the 2nd Lt outside in a war zone. Seriously? WWII Jeeps with a one piece windshield? Never happened, not available on CJ-3A\B until the early 1950's. I couldn't get past these discrepancies and quit watching about the 20 minute mark. Had to find something more riveting to watch, like the Westminster Dog Show.
