I thought his complaints were sort of petty.
They trot out stuff like this for just about any film these days. It’s tiresome.
Well, he was promoted to Chief Petty Officer (E-7).
I was afraid of how ABC was going to hack up his interview. If the only negatives are those mentioned, both of which should not have been revealed, then the movie is great. Why would he even say those things and give the enemy hints on how to kill our boots? My son’s platoon was hit mainly by sniper in Afghanistan and he lost his best friend and his platoon leader, so simply saying that a few details were missed would have been enough.
He seemed pretty fair. It's sort of like coming back from an aircraft carrier deployment as a pilot and watching Top Gun. Some of it was good, some funny and true, other parts dorky and unreal.
