Wrong Rifles
8 April 2001
Everyone, almost everyone, knows that the U.S. Marines never adopted the Springfield made Krag rifle of 1898 as depicted in this movie. The U.S. Marines adopted the 6mm Lee rifle, instead and carried it until the Model 1903 Springfield was made available around 1910 or so. Details, details...

A movie this dumb deserves no better comments than the one above. I cringe at the blatant arrogance contained in this movie. A much better picture about the U.S. in China in the early 20th Century is "The Sand Pebbles".
