Have not seen the film as I have been slammed with film work myself. But you can stretch the truth on this and say due to the highly classified operation that SAC cops were used as drivers..

A piece of historical fact on LeMay's AR-15 order for SAC cops. The first batches of AR's had Air Force Insignia Blue furniture on them. It's hard to spot in photos but I had some in my hands to look at and they are blue paint over brown fiberglass.
