I don’t know much about the book the movie is based off of, but I felt the whole scene in Mexico was inaccurate. If I’m wrong please correct me, but this was something America did not talk about if it were true. Was Mexico a popular retreat place for the Vets, and was it exactly like how it was portrayed in the film? –Ashley Scutari | I don’t know much about the book the movie is based off of, but I felt the whole scene in Mexico was inaccurate.

Although I know Mexico was a place of destination for some wishing to escape the states, in the movie, Mexico seemed almost to be a resort, a haven for the disabled, paraplegic veteran, with poker, alcohol and prostitutes at your beck and call.
