    I left and went outside when they "implied" that a young George S. Patton personally mounted the first machinegun on a vehicle (after showing him firing at an unseen enemy with a No1, MKIII, in Mexico)

    Revisionist, that's what I was looking for. The people that like to re-write history are rarely interested in the facts. So, having all the wrong weapons and equipment doesn't even bother them because the audience thay were after are those that don't know any better, anyway. In fact, I think that they hope for that audience because they are clueless.

    The funny part is that they pretty much had the right weapons and equipent to portray correctly if, they had just put them in the hands of the right people.
