Factual error: Shane's rank is Lieutenant but his formal uniform in the hospital after he gets shot shows the rank of Captain.
Other mistake: The mom comes home and finds the Sound Of Music poster for the performance that her son is in. Louisa on the poster is a completely different actress from the one in the rehearsal scenes.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film Vin Diesel is shot, presumably in the chest or torso, but in the shirtless scene during the Girl Scout troop meeting he doesn't have a single scar. (00:06:05 - 00:36:20)
Answer: He is telling a story of one of his missions and just changes soldier to elf.
