Goofs
The flashback portion is set during the Korean War and revolves around a Marine unit boarding a troopship in Philadelphia to head for South Korea. Traveling by ship from Philadelphia to South Korea would be taking the long way around the planet; in actuality, US Marines at Camp Lejeune NC on the east coast traveled cross country by rail to San Diego and then shipped across the Pacific to South Korea.
