The silence after the explosion bit is done to death. It was done better in BHD. It was also done well in Clear and Present Danger when Harrison Ford's convoy was attacked by rooftop hostiles with RPGs.

I disagree strongly about whether it's worth lives to save a life being an interesting thrust. There's nothing to explore in the question because any soldier could die in any moment in war. Spielberg really missed the boat. Our soldiers have a commitment to leave no man behind--that's what BHD was about. The idea that soldiers would be disgruntled to go save the last remaining child of a mother who had sacrificed all her other boys to the war...that just didn't ring true to me.
