Other mistake: Soldiers are shown wearing camouflage BDUs. They have an American flag sewn on their right sleeve. But the flag is of the wrong type. When a flag is worn on the right sleeve, the field of stars faces the front. In this scene their flags have the field of stars to the rear. Those flags are meant to be worn on the left sleeve. It is a tradition that dates back to the 1860s. (00:57:33)
Other mistake: General Gomes has 13 ribbons. The order of precedence is correct, which shows somebody was careful to place them correctly. But not correct enough. The Armed Forces Expeditionary Service Ribbon is upside down. (00:42:06)
