When that movie was made, I was in the the army, a Captain assigned to 1st Inf Div G-3 at Ft. Riley. My Boss Maj. Mataxis was the Son of The Comandant of Cadets. He told me that in some of the shots in the Comandants office he could see himself in some family pictures. Displayed in the desk area.
Mataxis was a good guy. His predecessor Col. Day was a dick and a half.
