ROK Army too well equipped in '50-51

I love this movie, but one gripe I do have with it is the level of US equipment available to South Korean Forces at the start of the war.

In the movie, every soldier had an M-1 Garand rifle and seemingly a full set of equipment. I’ve had the privilege of speaking with a few Korean veterans, and in those years all kinds of personal equipment was in short supply. A shortage of boots meant that many soldiers wore canvas shoes. As late as the Inchon landing, Korean soldiers were still using obsolete Japanese Arisaka bolt-action rifles left over from the occupation.

I think the movie would have provided more insight if we had seen the ROK soldiers as poorly equipped at the start, not simply under-fed when cut off from supply.
