I never knew about the incident until i read a piece online trying to shame Zane and Busey for being in the movie. The men were not wearing their uniforms, and for that they are lucky, since the soldiers who detained them might very well have thought they were Hussein military and shot them on sight.

The turkish military takes itself very seriously, and in international training scenarios and spec force competitions these guys frequently drew the admiration of other soldiers because of their grit.

If American filmakers are going to revise history then why can't Turkish filmakers?
