Goofs

When they show the HMMWV as they leave the landing zone, someone has taped a US flag to the left front side of the HMMWV. The US Flag always goes to it's marching right, so it should have been on the right front side. Any military personal would know how to display a flag correctly.

User Reviews

Delta Farce is the downfall of Western Civilization

I read a lot of user comments and ratings on IMDb and have for a long time. I have never before written one, but after reading some positive comments for this movie, I felt compelled to register just to comment on this movie. This movie is the downfall of Western Civilization. The plot by itself should make you want to die a slow death: soldiers think they are going to Iraq but end up in Mexico instead. Someone said that this somehow supports our troops? I'm sure our troops are sleeping better at night in Iraq because Larry the Cable Guy made a movie depicting US soldiers as too stupid to know the difference between Iraq and Mexico.

This whole movie is offensive and there is no way around it. I'm not an easily offended person either. There is no way that anyone with a brain and a conscience could actually enjoy this movie. The official slogan is "War isn't funny..... but the movie is!". This movie, combined with the fact that there actually people who gave this movie a good rating, is the reason why everyone else hates America.
