The thing is when you slit someone's throat you slit cartilage first, then comes the jugular, and then the 2 vessels where your pulses are. The way Charlie Sheen cut his throat he would have cut his jugular, the trachea is behind that. Thus, there should be lots of blood.
And the SEALs could have gona back to get the guy stuck in the car. They were not under fire at that moment. And they were not outnumbered, there were about 3-4 guys chasing them. They could have sent one guy to the car to pull the dead SEAL out.
As for Gothic Serpent, yes they did leave men behind. But they went back in the morning to go get them. And after the big rescue convoy returned the men at the crash site to the Pakistani stadium, more men went back out to rescue men that were still trapped.

BM1 are you sure about the seals not being left behind, i'm not sure on vietnam. but the seals in grenada were killed in a bad drop over the ocean and it's not so much as being left behind as it's more a symbol of respect to the fallen ones. and the seals killed in panama weren't really left behind either, Their bodies were left on the tarmac while the rest of the team conducted the assault on noreigas aircraft but they left together.

I have not so much of a mistake as it is an irritance. Admitedly, im not in the military so i wouldnt have the faintest idea about tactical errors and such, but the thing the really irritated me was clair. when curran was taking clair out to see the training or whatever, she was wearing high heels. what woman would go trasping through the woods in heels. first off, she would probably have sprained or broke an ankle and secondly (and most importantly) she would have RUINED the shoes! that is like number one rule in girl-world!

haha. thank you super for that very-indepth and informative analysis into the male psyche. i will have to remember that the next time i am in a bar getting hit on by navy seals (or any branch of the military, for that matter).
no, i don't think this movie was made for me or females my age, so i now understand the whole stilettos-in-the-woods-scene.

A friend of mine worked as a P.A. on the set here in Virginia Beach and was helping to load the rounds as they entered the Kill house. It was the scene where Michael Biehn's character takes the reporter to show her around the course. During the loading of the weapons with blanks, my friend noticed a live round! Fortunately, he did notice it in time and of course did not load it into the weapon.

2 Things
1.Don't take your military training and tactics from watching movies. This movie has less to do with SEAL's reality than a how-to book teaching fish to ride bicycles.
2.Sheen's character would never qualify SEAL. His psych-state would wash him.
This is extreme escapism at the expense of marginalizing deserving warriors. -

The underwater confrontation at the end is the one part of this movie I didn't like - it just seemed too gratuitous. Come on, Curran's wounded, and Hawkins is just going to pull another crazy stunt which might get Ramos and Leary AND Curran killed?!
