Revealing mistake: During the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, just before VF-32 comes in to provide air support, the Marines are firing their M1 Rifles. One of them mimics the recoil of it but we don't see the bolt move back when he fires his rifle. The M1 Rifle or Garand is semiautomatic, and the bolt moves back each time the shooter pulls the trigger.

Factual error: When Lt. Tom tries to make up for reporting the insubordination of Ensign Brown during the bridge attack his insignia is only one bar but should be two bars for a lieutenant.

Suggested correction: Technically, it's not incorrect to call him a Lieutenant. His rank is Lieutenant Junior Grade (marked by a single Silver Bar), and a 1st Lieutenant is marked by 2 Silver Bars. The term is usually transparent amongst this rank, it's not uncommon for a LTJG and a 1LT to both be called a Lieutenant.
