100 things I learned from this movie


1. Amateur goatherders wishing to fund their rebellion can get in touch with multi-millionaires all over the world.
2. Sovereign countries don't mind having rebel camps on their soil training to invade a neighboring piece of land.
3. Mineral-rich islands on the border between two states would not be hotly contested by those states, and any tin-pot dictator can walk in and claim them for his own.
4. Professional soldiers attempt to take a beach in broad daylight, taking the word of a goat-herder that it's unguarded, instead of landing near the rebel camp under the cover of night.
5. Rebel camps do not post sentries, and are brightly lit at night so the enemy can spot them.
6. Tin-pot dictators don't use their helicopter to scout for rebel camps.
7. Self-propelled assault guns with their barrel at max elevation can hit targets just a hundred yards away.
8. Jet skis explode when they hit something.
9. Never trust someone who runs a hedge fund.
10. A bazooka is effective at 500+ yards against a rapidly moving boat.

Misleading title. You only listed 10 things.

You must be new to these boards.

11. Bad C.I.A.guys (Is there any other type other than in Tom Clancy films?) really get around to all the world trouble spots to moonlight away from their day jobs.

12 When involved in battles with rebels, dictators, always cart their adorable blonde daughters who like to wear sailor outfits (?) around with them.

13 Dictators store all their ammo and explosives in the one unguarded dump so it can be conveniently destroyed by playboy soldiers of fortune who accidentally stumble across it.

14 Women caught in the middle of a civil war like to have access to jet skis on which they can both recreate and attack one another.

15 Taliban insurgents will conveniently line up to stand out in the open waiting to be shot, rather than find cover when under attack.

16 Soldiers will be dishonourably discharged when they kill the enemy, destroy a Taliban stronghold which is also the centre of a drug running operation and save their buddies.

25.Throwing away your crutches will magically heal your broken leg.

26. Explosions move very, very slowly, and will leave you looking like a loony toon

27. Sean Bean is willing to do any film if they promise to not kill him in it

28. Overweight, middle-aged men are the greatest opponents for the world's greatest soldier
