The title refers to a provision in all military service contracts that says a service member can be involuntarily extended beyond their discharge (from active duty) date, and at times beyond their final discharge from service date, according to the needs of the service.

Goofs

During the chase scene, the machine gun mounted atop the HMMWV changes from the .50 M2 machine gun to a 7.62 M240B machine gun.

Share this

The M4s carried by soldiers in the film are shown firing on full auto. In reality, only select units, such as Special Forces and the Rangers, have this feature available to them. The standard issue M4 (as well as M16A2 and M16A4) is limited to three round bursts.

Share this

The M4s shown in the film have the A2 style upper receiver, with fixed carrying handles. Only the first production run of M4s were built to this configuration, while the remainder had the A3 style upper receiver, with detachable carrying handle. The first production run M4s were a rather uncommon sight, and certainly wouldn't be used by a unit so up-to-date and well equipped as one shown in the film.
