Trivia:

When Taylor, Percell and Ruiz are at the tattoo parlor, Ruiz suggested having a tattoo on his arm with the phrase "Born To Kill" which featured on a helmet in Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Goofs:

Factual errors: When the soldiers are on the tarmac in Hawaii, waiting to board a plane headed back to Vietnam, a UH-60 Blackhawk/Seahawk can be seen as it is being towed in the background. That helicopter wasn't around during the Vietnam era.
