Trivia
Jesse Johnson, the actor who portrayed young Lt. Tyson in Vietnam, is Don Johnson's real life son.

Goofs
Tyson is on the base awaiting the court martial and assigned duty of mowing grass. It is obvious the mower is electric by the dangling extension cord, BUT the sound coming from the mower is that of a gas engine

Quotes
Dr. Steven Brandt: Peterson's wound was mortal. Only a thoracic surgeon working in a well equipped hospital could have saved him.

Frastrative attitude from the army , law and administration

The film as well as the book by Nelson De-Mile really causes frustration and un-easiness.We have here a civilian with a successful career and an unblemished record as a combat officer , faulty accused by a 'rightuous civilian ' of being a war criminal. I'm an israeli , and we also experience here motions provoked by 'snow white'civilians from all sorts of 'human rights' organizations to put soldiers and commanding officers to trial, describing any military action taken by those accused to be a criminal act, while on the other hand outrageously ignore enemy's criminal activities like bombing buses , civic centers , schools etc.FOOD FOR THINKING!!!! let's condemn these organizations !!! Betzelem, Shalom achshav, women in black, machsom watch etc.
