Does anyone else find it absurd

How often The Unit members break a) the law (national and international), b) ROE, c) orders from higher up the chain of command, and also are constantly made out to be far superior to every other agency (CIA, FBI, DoD) etc.

Even though (somehow, because it's pretty crap TV) I managed to watch the whole lot, this constantly bugged me.

Surely that it the most ridiculously fictitious element of the whole show?

Not to mention the wives constantly breaking the law, snooping around, poking their noses in and meddling with other peoples business.

Everyone in the show is so self-rightious and "greater than thou".

the reason they are portrayed as " the elite of the elite " and get away with everything, is because the show is american, and the soldiers are american. they really DO believe they are the best, even when proven otherwise ( see Spetsnaz or SAS as obvious contenders ).
