This would have made my top ten in large part (surprisingly) because of the dialogue. I was in the Army during the time this is set (thankfully missing deployment to Somalia by literally 30 minutes), and they nailed the way we talked. One example that only someone who served then would have known that shows up in the film is that probably out of sheer vocal laziness, we all pronounced "sergeant" as "saarnt."
