Corrected entry: In the early scene where Enders is in the hospital, the nurse gives him his pills in a plastic cup. Plastic was not in use in that manner in the 1940's and chances are the nurse would have given Enders the pill by hand.

Corrected entry: All through the movie when Enders fires his Thompson even in the close up shots you never see a single shell casing come out of the weapon.
Correction: This is not true. In some of the first scenes on Saipan (the slow motion ones where he is mowing down the Japanese) you can see the Thompson ejecting spent shells.

Corrected entry: During Enders patrol on Guadalcanal, all but one of the Marines with him are carrying M-1 Garand rifles. Marine riflemen landed on Guadalcanal with the older 1903 Springfield rifles. Only a handful of M-1's found their way to Marine hands which were stolen from follow-on Army landing troops.
Correction: They aren't necessarily on Guadalcanal. That island was secured in February 1943. It is more likely they were on another island in the Solomons, such as Bougainville.
