Just in case no one else noticed or sit through the credits there is one more cutscene after the end credits. I found a youtube video with it.

starts at around 9:00

I didn't really think it fit very well after the credits tbh.

It helps if you've seen all the newspapers beforehand.

 
Yeah i thought this was pretty lame, there should have been some sort of twist or something. 

Ever since I saw this cutscene, something has been bothering me.  It's the timeline.  If the fellow trooper duders are reading the newspaper about Phelps making detective, then they are just now shipping home from the Japan campaign in 1947...a full two years after that campaign ended with Japan surrendering in 1945.  NO WAY were remnants of what was a "citizen" army still even involved in the armed forces two years after the war.  Only if they had opted to stay in the Corps full time as a career.  Which doesn't sound like the case, as most of the dialogue seems to act like the war is freshly over and these cats are looking to reset their lives.  Throws off my timeline!
 
Oversight maybe?  Me just over-thinking?  Just something that occurred to me and didn't add up.  I thought the scene itself was eh, as it puts some of the events of the game in perspective, but that's about all that scene accomplishes. 

That scene to me works on many levels. 
 

That part was a good scene but out of place for what had just happened.  It could have been used soon after you took control of Kelso.  But at the end, when everything was over?  It felt out of place.

The scene didn't feel like something that should be put after the credits. It would have worked as a newspaper or something but it was just telling us what we already knew. 

Yeah, Instead of restating what was already covered in the game. They should of showed cole washing up somewhere or Kelsoe taking down those crooked cops. I would personally like to see him blow up the vice cop or shoot him in the face. 

I think that cutscene should have been in one of those collectible newspapers. Did anyone else think the game ended too abruptly?

I thought it was a nice touch, "how it all started" right at the end. I agree it was kinda odd but it was also the last piece to complete the puzzle.  It seemed alittle like the calm after the storm, before the storm that was the game......
