During the initial scene where Sergeant Major Volkom meets Connor Mead, Volom complains there were never any films made about the Korean War. This is incorrect. There were numerous films made, including a major Korean-made film released in the USA. (Four American-made Korean War films were 38º parallelo: Missione compiuta staring Gregory Peck, Corea in fiamme staring Gene Evans, I figli della gloria starring Richard Basehart and Gene Evans, and M*A*S*H with Donald Sutherland, both the inspiration for MASH and based on a book written by an in-theater MASH doctor. The major Korean-made film released in the USA was Brothers of War - Sotto due bandiere. As a veteran of the Korean War, Sergeant Major Volkom would certainly have been aware of at least the first film, "Pork Chop Hill" (1959). As an actor who has been in the business since 1962, Robert Forster himself may even have been aware of the Gregory Peck film.)
He also states the war "lost more men than 'Nam." Actually, it was around 2,000 less.
