Continuity: When Vanessa is shutting her car door, her soccer ball keychain appears and disappears within the scene.
Factual errors: When the one soldier decides to re-enlist, as he is saying goodbye to his parents and getting into the taxi, the cover he puts on is an older style Navy/Marine Corps 8-point cover.
Factual errors: When one soldier is told to fire the AT-4 at a gunman on the roof, he is holding it backwards when he is firing it. The rocket comes out of the smaller end of the tube, not the larger.
Crew or equipment visible: When Marsh is in the kitchen during his welcome home barbecue, a part of the camera is seen in the mirror next to the sink.
Factual errors: On many occasions, soldiers fire their M16A2 rifles on full automatic. M16A2's issued by the military cannot fire on full automatic, only tri-burst (3 bullets for every trigger pull).
