Being an "old timer (1969-71), I really had a problem with the Military Ranks/Courtesy as shown during Jack's Funeral. Desi is wearing E-5 Stripes and McGyer is an SP4 with a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). For having the talents they do, the ranks really seem out of place (they should be higher). McGyver walks around the "reception" with his jacket unbuttoned, his tie pulled down, and collar open, and then talks to a (apparent) General as though personal friends dressed sloppily. Maybe the military has changed that much, but I don't think so. The whole episode lost credibility with that scene.
