things i learned

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2014)

A few things I learned from this flaming pile of garbage 1) the u.s. military would rather send a team of 4 seals on a suicide mission to kill 1 Taliban "leader" than call in a drone strike, or helicopter strike, or jdam strike, or ac-130 strike, etc.
2) the military will give said team full air support with 2 apaches, and an ac-130 spooky gunship while they are hiking in the middle of nowhere, but as soon as they get to the most dangerous part of the mission will leave them on their own for no apparent reason. only to be called back later when all but one is dead.
3) one 5.56 round will kill a Taliban fighter instantly, but 4 (or more) 7.62 rounds from an AK or PKP wont kill a navy seal.
4) you can apparently sprain you foot, then get shot in the other foot and still be able to run around just fine.
5) you can tumble 100 feet down a mountain slamming into boulders and trees TWICE and be able run around and continue fighting 6) sat radios will work just fine halfway down a valley amongst many tall trees but will stop working on top of the mountain in a clearing with no apparent reason.
7) navy seals don't wear body armor 8) an RPG hitting 3 feet from you wont kill you 9) same RPG can change course mid flight and fly right into the back door of a Chinook helo from 150 feet away and rip it in half.
10) afghans apparently have an honor code that forces them to protect COMPLETE STRANGERS from "outside dangers" even if it means giving their life for said stranger. YET for some reason cant be compelled to take up arms and defend their own country from terrorists.
11) (and the most aggregous of them all) Trained navy seals would rather let Taliban fighters go and scrub the entire mission, knowing they would be found and killed in about an hour. as opposed to tie them up, finish the mission, and then let them go later.
If this is at all how it went down, then I just lost all respect for navy seals. if this isn't how it actually happened, then the writer and director need to be black balled and never work again for portraying DEAD navy seals as complete morons.
I'm sure there's more, but that just about summarizes it. could have been a decent movie, but it was so over the top, inaccurate, unbelievable that made it borderline unwatchable. if I had paid money to see this in a theater I would have walked out after the first mountain fall scene.
