I guess I'm with alanint on this issue of historical accuracy. It bothers me to see such errors too. At least in some films the production crew will hire someone who is an expert just to ensure they maintain accuracy in uniforms and weapons, etc. The inaccuracies probably escape notice of the vast majority of people who view the film; however, those of us who pick up on details can not help noticing them. Yes, I think it is a distraction too.
