I won't rehash the storyline, but only to say in addition to the user that pointed out the military errors, there are two others that should be brought to attention.
1. Scars do not go away. They can fade but don't disappear. 2. Blown off fingers also do not grow back.
Why do I say this? Because when they bring out #15, they do not check him for the scar above his knee. We are supposed to accept the fact that the scar on Mark just disappeared after being challenged in court prior? Also, if it is true as Mark was saying that his fingers got blown away during the escape, that would mean that #15 also had missing fingers that would at least continue the mystery of Mark or confirm once and for all that #15 was Mark, yet this also went unchallenged. Military Medical records on the lookalike would probably indicate at the time of military service which fingers were missing and probably other related details. It seems unlikely that Mark, who had his fingers blown off during the escape would have the exact same injuries. Otherwise if you can accept the flaws, it was an entertaining movie.
