re: Just saw The Hurt Locker

well for example how the guys are always going off by themselves, which was the case for the entire movie, the way they interact, the way they had free reign over any situation. it is not a little unbelievable but entirely unbelievable. the is a fine example of hollywood not taking enough time or really not giving a shite how to accurately portray combat. EOD will not go out without at least an entire platoon supporting them, which is almost always the unit which finds the ied. then EOD proceeds to take 4 hrs figuring out how to action on the ordnance, then they drive their robot up to it to look at it for about 1hr, then finally they just blow it the frick up.
