- I definitely recall Joker referring to himself as a 'Sergeant' in the film (I believe when he talks to the Lt. after finding the mass grave, right before he gets chewed out by that Colonel.) [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 16:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 16:46, 5 April 2010
Timeframe?
Anyone know the actual YEAR this is supposed to take place? I noticed that the 'Marines' are wearing the M69 flak vests, which came out in late 67-early 68, and Marines got everything later than the Army did. MoviePropMaster2008 15:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The Tet Offensive took place on January 31, 1968, so I believe the equipment would be correct.
- Yeah, thanks DUH! (slap head), I forgot that the Tet Offensive was shown in the movie. It's been that long since I've seen it. MoviePropMaster2008 16:46, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
