The real Joseph D. Galloway stepped out of the movie theater during a scene, but still approved the film. His explanation was "That was my nightmare for 36 years. I don't want to see it again."
Sam Elliott became so close to the real Basil L. Plumley and his family that during Plumley's funeral with military honors Elliott sat in the front row beside Plumley's daughter as she received the folded flag.
One of the real-life officers who survived the battle was Lieutenant Rick Rescorla, who is the main figure on the cover of General Moore's book, on which the movie was based. A biography of Mr. Rescorla's very interesting life was published in the mid 2000s, called "Heart of a soldier". He died in the 9/11 attacks, while employed as Head of Security for Morgan Stanley, while making sure all of the company's employees had gotten out of the World Trade Center (they had).
The real Harold G. Moore and Joseph Galloway traveled back to Vietnam after the war and met the real Nguyen Huu An as research for their book so they could understand the battle strategy of the North Vietnamese at Ia Drang. Moore claimed he and An had no bitterness and respected each other as soldiers.
Some Vietnamese actors in the movie had actually been in the North Vietnamese Army.
"Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: [Hal Moore speaks to his men before going into battle] Look around you. In the 7th cavalry, we've got a captain from the Ukraine; another from Puerto Rico. We've got Japanese, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics, Cherokee Indians. Jews and Gentiles. All Americans. Now here in the states, some of you in this unit may have experienced discrimination because of race or creed. But for you and me now, all that is gone. We're moving into the valley of the shadow of death, where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours. And you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. They say we're leaving home. We're going to what home was always supposed to be. Now let us understand the situation. We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy. [pauses] Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together. So help me, God."
"Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I wonder what was going through Custer's mind when he realized that he'd led his men into a slaughter? Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, Custer was a pussy. You ain't."
