Kovic mentions on the beach that he is into his second tour in Vietnam, yet he does not wear the Combat Infantryman's Badge at any time on his uniform. [The CIB is awarded to Army and Special Forces personell, not to the Marines.]

When we see the gravestone of Wilson, it doesn't match that he was 19 years old when killed. According to his headstone, he would have been 18, or 20, I can't remember. But I do know he was stated as being 19 by his father when Cruise went to visit Wilson's family, and the headstone bears out that he wasn't 19, but either 18 or 20. [Do you really expect to be taken seriously when posting a 'mistake' based upon information you cannot properly recall? Please specify - 1. Wilson's year of birth as specified in the film. 2. The year of Wilson's death as specified on his tombstone. 3. The discrepancy this creates.]
