El largo camino a casa

Several things just make no sense:

1. US Army basically looks dumb and incompetent in this movie

2. They attempt rescue at night but nobody is using night vision and there is no air support.

3. They can't figure out where the 1st squad is located? really? with interpreter and another guy who speaks Arabic they can't ask or figure out their exact address/location? that is dumb.

4. They wave their arms like idiots while rescue drives by instead of shooting enemy who can clearly be seen?

5. Where are all the female soldiers?

6. Why did they need an an unarmored truck with infantry, they were a liability not an asset not once but twice.

7. why so much melodrama? Why focus on backstory of only some random soldiers, why not just do every single one?
