Accidental because [=McDonough=] never told anyone about it until the ten year anniversary interviews.

* ShoutOut: Liebgott is shown shaving another soldier's head in the beginning scene. The real Joe Liebgott was a barber by trade and he actually did reportedly help shave the men's hair into mohawks for the jump.

** Luz does impressions of the officers, something that the actors repeatedly did during boot camp. General consensus seems to say that Rick Gomez (Luz) was second only to Michael Cudlitz (Bull) in doing the best impersonation. This is also LifeImitatesArt, since Gomez says in his audition they tested him doing impressions as well.
