Well, at least they used real M4s and Tigers.

I always got a kick out of the sailor that stepped out on the deck of the ship carrying the M-60 machine gun to fire at the Japanese Zero aircraft in the movie "Pearl Harbor"...

My neighbor served in the 4th Armored Division, he saw soo much combat from a tracked vehicle that when the war ended, he had fourteen medals for combat. Hell, he had combat ribbons for combat ribbons. He served an anti-tank gun for 18 months of hard fighting.

One day I was saying that I doubted his sincerity, how could one GI, a mere Corporal see that much combat?

He pulled out a 1200 page photo album, it had him mugging for photos of dead Tiger tanks! Dozens and dozens of knocked out Kraut vehicles. Now, get this, his self propelled gun worked remarkably well against german tanks, if they were engaged upon paved roads! They could bounce the shells under the tank and kill it!

At one point he showed me a picture of Creighton Abrahams, then top dog general in Viet f-ing Nam.

'This m-fer almost got me killed a dozen times' I just thought that he was nuts! Upon sober reflection, I don't think he was lying at all!
