That was one incredibly stupid and ignorant general, now wasn't it?
Not surprising at all, since he was Irish.
Absolutely. I mean, what was the harm? He thought the device was stupid and was confused how Cruise and his most decorated soldier got together a few hours after he demoted him.
Dude had pride and ego instead of taking the very unbelievable proceeding seriously. Esp given what Cruise knew.
He was a total imbecile.
I wonder how the story would've unfolded without this idiotic general.
So Cruise would know the Omega is in Louvre and lead charge there and basically keep repeating attempts to kill it till he succeeded and then be a hero with Emily.
So they end up doing to the enemy what they did to them. Would've been a great irony. And perhaps he sees then that there are many more omegas in the universe and some head for Earth now.
