"The use of a credit card to place a long distance landline fire support is based on an actual event in the Operation Urgent Fury Grenada action. A US Navy SEAL rescuing the governor general placed a calling card call to SOCOM which brought an AC-130 gunship to bear on an APC that was firing on them."
Ground forces were also forced to use tourism maps for navigation and, in one alleged case, to adjust fire support - for those of you who haven't served, this is a pretty f*cking fantastic feat.

This movie is bad. And not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Gunny Highway was a fricking quote factory.

IMHO opinion it was a weak movie apart for being good for some great quotes. The motivation of the "bad guy" superior officer was not very convincing. And the part where the squad pretty much mutinees and gets "the Swede" to try to beat up Highway just didn't ring true at all.
The lightest of light popcorn fare is how I would describe it. A way to spend a little time when there is absolutely nothing else to do.

Clint definitely could have used a better supporting cast.
I never served so I can't comment on accuracy, but I think the movie definitely overplayed some popular stereotypes of that era regarding national military preparedness and the kind of people who were signing up at that time.
