how they made the Marines look like dumb asses


I thought in that one scene they made them look youthful, wide-eyed, not quite ready for what they had to do.

K.

Seals and Delta force are under USSOCOM command.at no point is that infantry. Dumbass

Its common knowledge that NSA operatives and Delta Force Commandos are some of the most highly trained people on Earth. To deny this shows your ignorance.

13Saint must have lost his girlfriend or wife to a SEAL. That's okay, I wouldn't be able to compete with a SEAL either.

And for an original R movie to make over $90 mil opening weekend is insane.

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment Sherlock and I stand by it.

Nah. I know some really great ones. But I guess I'm just desensitized and the media misrepresents much.

Yep - SEAL's are well-trained, no doubt, but unless this guy is talking specifically about DEVGRU, then no, they are not any better-trained than the other special ops guys, and it's probably a fair argument to say that SF are better-trained or, at least, highly trained in a very different manner.

That doesn't even mention the OGA's that no one knows about.

Also, the NSA? WTF? They intercept signals and hack shite; they're not getting their hands dirty. The CIA's SAD are the super-secret squirrels. That guy knows jack.

True. Every branch of the miltary has special forces that are extremely well trained.

Movie will give you all sorts of feels.

Not trying to get political in here but the movie really brought to light how much these soldiers have gone through and it was probably for nothing in the long run.

I must have been living under a rock because the ending was a surprise to me.

Just sad with all these feels.


The last movie like this that came out. Hollywood got all pissy. They want Oprahs lies and her new racial movie to do as well as this movie. It won't. Because of exactly what you said.

SPOILER:

They should have told the rest of the story. I am now googling exactly what happened with the Marine on the 2 hour ride.
