6. Drones can be shot down by RPGs.

8. SEAL commando must shoot randomly & shouldn't shoot at the tires when a van tries to hit them.
9. The last SEAL commando becomes invincible just because he is the LAST!
10. Hundreds of people with guns/RPGs can't hit a SEAL commando at all.

You're missing like 86, but yeah, they're in there alright.
This movie has a particular template.
US special forces take on half the world. It's just properganda.
I made a post about this yesterday because I'm in the UK, but I've got american Netflix.
There are literally tons of shows about special forces, marines, paras, etc, etc, etc.
any movie where a terrorist gets his head shot off, and the Netflix community give it 5 (undeservedly) stars.
In the movie Seal Team 6, the hunt for Bin Laden, they show that the Pakistan government scrambled their jets to the site of the helo crash and the Americans tell them to turn around or they'll be engaged.
Now do you seriously think that the US government has that much power? Where they can tell another nations military to back down, and they will?
Hell no is the answer to that.
All of these movies follow the exact same priciple, american gets hurt, Seals take them down in a manner impossible to any human.

I know the scene you're talking about too, at the end where he's walking through the street with hundreds and hundreds of people shooting at him.
I don't care who trained you, you can't avoid a million bullets flying in your direction, the same as matey couldn't stop an RPG with his chest.

Why don't the directors/writers, use some REAL stories? There are obviously thousands, but they've got to make these Seal Teams look invincible when they're not.
They are peak soldiers, but not magicians.
Weak, weak, weak movie.

13. Morphine injection is like a med pack in a computer game, restores 100% health (It actually makes you bleed out quicker but whatever.)
14. 1 navy seal with a handgun is worth 100 terrorists with automatic weapons and bazookas.
15. Even though there are 100 assault rifles at your feet, you should break into a gun shop and steal a new one.
16. Even though a guide supposably knows the terrain, she wont know that there is a massive dam blocking the river.
17. Someone tied up must be trustworthy.
18. Army choppers dont have guns, in fact they look an awful lot like tv news choppers with 'ARMY' printed on them.
19. All military females look and walk like catwalk models.

Also we forgot that SEALs apperantly like to wear newly pressed US Army ACU uniforms.

As well, everyone gets a new uniform even the bad guys.
