Problems with People's Comments

In the goof's section of this movie, one point has a problem with a
Jack being drafted into the Green Berets, but in the movie Jack is not
drafted. The other characters make a point to say that he enlisted,
"went all the way" I believe they said. Also a few comments point out a
problem with the filming location, El Paso, Texas. One scene in the
movie has the characters going to Mexico, and this scene was filmed in
El Paso. I wish people would actively watch movies before commenting on
them.

Nah, I think he was drafted. Actually, he's the only one we see getting his selective service letter.

I think when they say "he went all the way" they mean he didn't try to dodge the draft like they did.

Agreed. He got drafted, but went "gung ho"- I assume that meant like infantry or something like that.
