Ahem....yeah, that Op was messed up...(Spoiler, but not really)

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2014)

Surely I'm not an expert on making movies from a technical perspective but surely have some 10 Years of first hand experience when it comes to Special Forces activities in a foreign country - and I hate to say it; but what the heck were these guys thinking?
Chain of command. Is that merely based on a suggestion of what sub-ordinates thinking in the field when confronted with such situations as displayed in this movie? Cuff 'em, leave 'em or shoot 'em? Seriously?
So a couple of observations along these lines; first, to go into this area without at least a half way trained Interpreter to GATHER INTEL and setup the mission is just something I cannot even comprehend.....that's just poor planning to begin with. We always had a Plan-B or Plan-C in case circumstances arose that including the capture of a "enemy combatant". Cuff these captured suspected Taliban, retrieve into an area to establish Communications FIRST, try to hide your tracks the best way possible or even lay down a false track.
Furthermore, once Com is established and you don't have a interpreter on hand, then use Com to rely intel from the bad guys (if they are talkative), use an interpreter on the other side of the call and have him/her translate whatever you need.......but don't let go of your bargaining chips - EVER!
Time is of the essence once you are compromised, and no matter how you look at it, these guys were compromised; however, the mission could still be a "Go" if these Seals had taken a more conservative strategy into consideration and just refined their tactics and overall approach, remember, the goal was to kill/capture this Taliban leader, and he was still in their sights.
And by the way, the Rules of Engagement are always established prior to any encounter in the field on foreign soil which appears to be another issue giving that this movie is supposed to be based on real encounters.
I have a huge respect for anyone wearing a uniform fighting for his country but to be honest, this disaster could have been avoided. Now some will probably push the "in hindsight" button, but sorry, what I tried to elaborate here is just the way we were trained and I'm certain it could have been a different outcome.
So I can not give this movie any higher rating, all the equipment, weapons and tactical plays may have been accurate or close but from my point of view, it is a display of poor judgement that unfortunately cost the lives of a few brave man.
