WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END?!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.21.138 (talk) 05:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of Alan

As an English major it bugs me where it says "...And her son who looks up to Savannah, Alan". It should read "..And her son Alan, who looks up to Savannah". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rothycat (talk • contribs) 01:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

"He goes on to state that he is a coin in the United States of America's army, and that the last thing he thought about before he blacked out, was you." Was you? Seriously? That's vandalism. 75.72.105.60 (talk) 01:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't watched it yet myself, but I believe the editor was trying to say that John is speaking directly to an ambiguous subject (later revealed to be his father) and actually refers to the ambiguous subject as "you". It would be better to replace it with a quote; I don't think simply saying, "the last thing he thought about was his father" would be right, since it seems like the revelation was part of the climax.

Silly introduction

About a soldier who... goes to the war? Which war? I think the military history knowledge wikipedians is not limited to a single, specific war.--Ar-Pharazôn (talk) 08:29, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editing error in movie

From 1:32 until 1:35, a dramatic scene, SSG "John's" rank is upside down. I suppose it was too dramatic to retake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.95.132.177 (talk) 04:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His medals/ribbons are not accurate either -- they seem to be made up. His CIB (Combat Infrantyman's Badge) is backwards in one take. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.44.62 (talk) 23:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
