Navajo Code Talkers

During the battle towards the end of the movie, communications are placed in jeopardy as Japanese troops have captured a telephone rig (the line is a party line across the battle field, so all with a phone set can listen in simultaneously)

Concern is raised that the Japanese will be able to listen in to the battle instructions, however the gathered troops are reminded that they have Navajo language speakers in their company (refer to the main article Code Talker ) who are then shown on film giving instructions in their language.

(I can only presume the actor's are genuinely speaking Navajo)

Marion gets killed

Even though it's been decades since I last saw this movie, I can tell you that "At Tarawa, Huxley's men fulfill their mission, but Marion and many others are killed," in incorrect. I can still see in my mind's eye when Marines are carrying Marion's body on a stretcher. Marion was killed on Guadalcanal, not Tarawa. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 01:17, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
