IIRC the two main guys are actually former SEALs and not currently active duty, but I guess the rest of the team was supposed to be active guys. They could have done without the voiceover stuff IMO, it felt even more forced than most of the other non-action scenes. Most of the crowd seemed to be made up of veterans, older and younger. Lots of Army, Navy, etc. shirts and hats on in the crowd, and a lot of the younger guys looked like Corps of Cadet or ROTC guys from VT. _________________________ "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

Mics aren't usually capable of capturing concussive sounds like that. For example, having witnessed multiple rocket and shuttle launches over the last decade or so, I can affirm not ONE TV or film has ever been close. Not even the IMAX films NASA made get it. Mics can't get it, so they engineer one and they never get it right.

That is why we need to watch what the n-value of this score and the score/rating itself.
