Firstly, another reviewer mentioned in not being legal to for actors to wear exact uniform replicas. That is incorrect.
According to the original Title 10, Chapter 45 section 772 line (f), actors may wear armed forces uniforms as long as it does not intend to discredit that armed force, and in 1970 that condition was removed altogether by a Supreme Court ruling that it was unconstitutional. So no excuse.
As for my take-Good movie, superb acting Military members and their families are going to understand this movie on a far more personal level than civilian families & as one myself (military wife), I can can somwhat over look a few things such as the wrong stripes on the uniform. This movie really showcased in a non-sensationalist way what military members go through after war & the bureaucracy of the DOD when it comes to cases of valor. I'm glad someone told this story. It's a shame that some cynical viewers are going to slam this movie because they either don't get it (see above), or think any hopeful or patriotic is cliche. As another viewer put it, if you dislike this movie it's because you have no empathy. Check out my YouTube channel memoirs of a movie maven for my full review & more movie reviews.
