Why did Spielberg choose Dale Dye?

Spielberg chose Dye because all the WW2 vets were TOO old to train them young whippersnappers...
but seriously, it must be said that Dye joined the Marines in 1964--a time when the USMC was still populated by MANY NCOs & "Mustang Officers" who had served in Korea AND WW2;
In addition, in the Extras Dye & His training cadre took EXTRA Special pains to 'expunge' all current 'slang' from their vocabulary---and at least in SPR I didn't hear one: "Wazzup Dawg", "Far out", "Cool" or "Groovy";
Now all that being said, how they sounded would depend on the script & who wrote it;
