Corrected entry: When the soldiers are first attacked while standing duty at the bridge, Sgt. Frantz calls for a cease fire after their artillery barrage. The magazine in the sergeant's M16 is inserted upside down. This is noticeable because you can see the brass from the cartridges when he lifts his rifle into the shot.

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the film, the soldiers are filling sand bags with mud. Beletsky, whose hands and forearms are covered in wet mud, puts down his sandbag and takes out a photo of his girlfriend. In the next closeup shot of him holding the photo, his hands are suddenly clean and dry. (00:11:00)
Motown: I smile at my Mamma. Great meal, Ma. Would you please pass the fucking potatoes. The ham is fucking A, Ma. You don't know how... how fucking great it is to be home. How you going to act, huh?

Correction: The magazine isn't inserted upside down, the reason you see the brass is because there are 2 magazines taped together so as to save time, all they would have to do is flip the magazines over and insert the unspent 1 in the weapon.
