I think the problem here is that it was not the movie producers who got this wrong; it was Dirk Halstead in his review. In the movie, it is quite clear that Hal Moore commands the 1st battalion of the 7th Cavalry - the 1st of the 7th.... I don't know where and how Halstead got bogged down the 2nd ...which, as you state, would presumably be the 2nd of the 7th - the 2nd battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. I certainly understand, and agree with, what you've said about the problem when a movie, a book, etc., gets something simple and basic wrong. But in this case I believe that it was the reviewer, not the movie, which got a number of things wrong - including the reference to photos having been taken by Galloway during the battle, when the photos sure looked to me as though they were taken during the filming of the movie, and one could see the movie's actors in them. ;-) B.
