Revealing mistake: Around 40 minutes in the movie during the fight scene, a Humvee gets hit by 3 bullets (2 in the second door, 1 behind the door). Besides looking very fake, the bullet holes seem to have dissapeared when the Humvee is blown away a few seconds later.
Factual error: They show the funeral at a military cemetery among headstones. When a military funeral is planned, the funerals for that day are completed together, meaning person 1 is buried here, person 2 next to person 1 and so on. There are only mounds of dirt until the headstone comes in weeks after the funeral. Even if the spouse has passed, the old headstone is added to the grave because a new headstone has to be ordered and erected.
Continuity mistake: When they have loaded and just taken off from the laboratory in Paris, the warhead case is on the ground beside the SUV.
Revealing mistake: When Storm Shadow is stabbed at the end of his fight with Snake Eyes, watch closely as he pulls the blade out before falling. You can see that he has two slices/cuts on his right shoulder. The cut on top is a rather realistic-looking prosthetic, but the cut underneath looks incredibly fake. It's just regular red and purple makeup that was "drawn on" to his shoulder in the shape of a cut and touched up with a small amount of fake-blood. It stands out against all of the other cuts, which are are convincing prosthetic "cuts."
Continuity mistake: When Ripcord is chasing down the warheads up high in the "Night Raven" plane, the heads-up-display indicates him being at around 65,000 feet. When he chases one down to Washington DC and is flying no more than 200 feet off of the ground, the HUD is still indicating an altitude of around 65,000 feet.
Continuity mistake: That scene where they almost run into the coach obviously has a cross road, but with the conversation continuing in the following shots, there is no intersection running across, or sight of the passenger vehicle.
Continuity mistake: In the final scene when the planes take off from the underground base in the dessert, the distance between the 'roof' holes does not match between the shot when seen from below and from above. From below the holes are quite close, (compared to the size of the holes), but from above they are quite far apart.
Answer: He was left for dead by his own comrades, badly injured by an airstrike that they called down on his location. He would likely say that his country turned against him, not that he turned on them.
