Dale Dye acted as a military advisor on this film, as he had done on Platoon (1986), one of the movies spoofed in it. Ben Stiller asked Dye beforehand if he didn't have reservations about working on a film that effectively satirizes his livelihood. This amused Dye, who told Stiller that despite his serious reputation, he is a broad lover of comedy, and has no problems with veterans being made fun of, as most of them will actually resort to dark comedy in tense situations. As such, Dye relished the opportunity to work on a comedy, as long as it wouldn't portray military people doing things that they would never do under any circumstance.
