Although Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley didn't participate, either out of age, or illness, or meanness, it was said that the movie actually made him look more gentle than he really was.

Here is his wiki bio," Plumley enlisted in the US Army as a private on March 31, 1942. He was a member of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, with which he made four combat jumps and was awarded multiple decorations. He was a member of the 320th Glider Field Artillery Bn. He confirms this during interviews conducted with author Phil Nordyke, who has written four books relating to the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. Plumley went on to make one combat jump in Korea with the 187th Airborne Infantry Regiment. He retired as a Command Sergeant Major on December 31, 1974, having been awarded 28 different personal, unit, campaign and service awards and decorations (40 total) in almost 33 years of military service, spanning World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War."
