It was a trailer, trailers are never proper representations of a final film. Besides, they don't call them the "greatest generation" for nothing, so why not allow it some flag waving "war porn" wiggle room .

You watch Black Hawk Down or Band of Brothers, you could say the same thing (flag waving war porn). Ultimately it's about people and the unimaginable circumstances they have to face). Chalk up the fact the racial card is a MASSIVE factor in this film. It's a great story "based on true events".

I am curious to know how so many can bad mouth an effort to bring WWII to the mainstream simply watching a 2.5 minute trailer. If the film was released and they called P51's "Kittyhawks" then, well, you'd have an argument. Not from an "action" oriented movie trailer.
