SPR had some really terrible aspects, accuracy wise. To me the worst was the prolonged segment with the "experienced" recon patrol going forward into German contested areas, just strolling through open fields, "smoking and joking", oblivious to potential snipers, or machine gun ambush. Folks, that was a BAD JOKE!!!!!!!! Recruits might do that once on manuevers in the states, but an "experienced" recon platoon near German lines??? Not in a billion years.

Yeah,but movies live or die on dialogue between the characters. If they had been properly spaced and silent,they wouldn't have been able to "set the scene" or develope their characters.
