The program has top tier actors, and they certainly lived up to their reputations. It was the writers that let the production team down. It is NECESSARY to move beyond your own internal information and verify what you are about to write.
If the writers had spent no more than 10 minutes researching the US Marines, they would not have made so many stupid blunders!!!
1. Marines do NOT train at Ft. Bragg; that is ARMY!
2. Men and women boots are housed separately, but receive IDENTICAL training, with the same standards for both! There is no such thing as men's standards and women's standards.
3. Since Ft. Bragg is ARMY, Marines don't guard the base.

Serious omissions were made in some of the "also-rans." The Stanley Steamer was not mentioned. And, too often, starting with the mid-50s, any car nearby would do. Other reviewers already mentioned the Mercury being touted as a Chevy. Later, DeLorean was modifying a 1963 Buick LeSabre. At least it was the right car company. But, these Buicks had horrible top ends; the valves were way too small to accommodate efficient breathing. I'm sure an early model of GTYO could have been found top make it more realistic.
