Costume folks forgot the right shoulder combat patches


Movie looks interesting and the director has a history of making great movies.
One quibble.

the uniforms (DCU and dress uniforms) are pretty accurate.
All too often, movies, even serious movies, screw them up.

But after watching a featurette on the film, I noticed your costume people forgot to put right shoulder combat patches on all the dress green uniforms of all the characters that are wearing combat awards on their uniforms.

Most people reading this comment are rolling their eyes and saying "who cares?"

While many think it's a minor thing no one will notice... it's going to be a glaring mistake that millions of living Army veterans will spot right away.

I still look forward to this movie.
Just find your costume person and give him or her a slap on the wrist.
