M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: Out by The Gun, Hawkeye's Captain insignia on his garrison cap is missing the lower corner of one bar. So, it would be considered unserviceable, that is, unfit for use, and should have been replaced with a new insignia.

Suggested correction: While that is true by the Army's standards, it is entirely in character for Hawkeye not to give a flying you-know-what about the state of his insignia.
True, but even he knew that correcting it sooner rather than later would be wise. But, as always, I bow to your knowledge.

Factual error: In the hut with BJ, Zale, and The Moose, there's a Coleman 413E stove in the background. Trouble is, that this unit didn't appear until 1954, and the Armistice ending hostilities, ending the war, was signed July 27, 1953.

Factual error: In the Swamp, Dr. Wu says "maeu gamsahabnida" when taking out the needle. It was translated as "Dr. Wu says the treatment is completed." The correct translation is "thank you very much"

Suggested correction: This is taking the dialogue too literally. Translating culturally specific terms and forms of expression into something the counterpart can understand in the intended way is entirely appropriate and only logical. A person not familiar with English culture would be very confused if, for instance, someone translated the phrase "Your goose is cooked" literally.

Factual error: When the bird Charles shoots lands on the land mine, you can see thing bounce on one side of the explosion. If the bird had really landed on the mine, it would have been obliterated.

Suggested correction: Anti personnel mines are specifically designed to badly wound someone rather than kill them outright, as it takes more people to deal with a wounded casualty rather than if they were dead. Movies exaggerate the blast effect as anti-personnel mines don't actually blow anyone to pieces, even a large bird.
True, but in this instance, it was a small bird. The mine in question can severely maim or destroy limbs, therefore the bird shouldn't have been seen.
