Why is Pits wearing sergeant stripes when at the time he was an airman? Why are the weapons wrong. Why are combat soldiers yelling in the jungle before combat starts when the enemy almost certainly would be nearby? What on earth is this "Friendly Fire" narrative, which has been debunked by several military historians? Where are they getting a "coverup" when there was none? If it was a coverup why did he receive second highest award back in 1966?
Dramatic license is one thing, but just making it up as you go along and exploiting a hero to make money, without care for facts, is another thing. The makers of this film demonstrate total lack of knowledge of the military honors and decorations process. There are literally hundreds of amazing heroic stories where people have gotten Bronze Star, Oak Cluster, Silver Star, Navy Cross, DSC without getting Medal of Honor, when, if you read their story, you'd be thinking -- my god give this person a MOH. It is not a conspiracy. Sure you get people like John Kerry who get purple Hearts for torn fingernail. If the makers of this film had know anything of the process they would also know posthumous promotions are the general rule and that the Sargent strips on him are an egregious error demonstrating lack of knowledge and lack of care.
