SPOILER ALERT
I thoroughly enjoyed the film and kudos to the real Company 'A'. No-one killed, now that is an achievement.
Unfortunately Hollywood being Hollywood:
I know it's only a film but:
1. You order the troops to dig trenches but let then stop when they are only upper chest deep.
2. You only leave one guy on guard while everyone else goes to Mass.
3. At the outset you use the Vickers as an afterthought and don't integrate it into your defence plan.
4. You know you're short on ammo but don't clear the ground after the first attack to recover the weapons, ammo and the two wrecked jeeps (to use as cover)
5. You didn't tell the sniper to take out every mother that turns up on a jeep either behind the wheel or behind a heavy weapon or is white and wearing a red beret.
6. You store all your ammo in one hut.
7. The attacks continue but during the lull you don't upgrade your defences with the rigley tin and other construction materials from the buildings wrecked by enemy mortar and aircraft fire.
Just sayin...............
