Goofs:

Factual errors: Toad is obviously a low-ranking enlisted man who takes orders from the First Sergeant and is placed on details for enlisted men, but wears the rank insignia of a warrant officer, a higher rank than a First Sergeant.

Quotes:

Laurie Bolander: Maybe I could straighten up this place for you.
Andy Henderson: No thanks, I like this place just the way it is.

not the bomb you'd think

..this sequel is actually pretty good, the different film style for each segment works (especially the hand held camera style for the viet nam segment)...I'd rather watch this than most of the crap lucas puts out these days ...milner's character was fleshed out a bit more here from the first film, and to good effect ...my only complaint is that each segment feels like it should be a year later than the date indicated on screen (eg....no one in 1966 San Francisco would have ANY idea who Jimi Hendrix was, and those student protests on campus were more common AFTER 1967)
