If you listen closely when the President is addressing the public about E.L.E., you will hear a reporter in the distance asking the President if E.L.E. was the reason all troops have been relieved from active duty (It's during the part where they switch to the newsroom at MSNBC with the President still answering questions). But at the end of the movie when the Messiah is saying their goodbyes, they tell Fish his sons are still on active duty and could not make it. Strange, huh??
