I loved the flick, but since yer bringing up criticisms,
And I posted this once before,
We're supposed to believe that an insurgent sniper, using an AK-47, at 800 yards (or was it meters?), can pick off 3 Brits, and our guys, using a stationary, tripod mounted sniper rifle, with a spotter, take about 5 shots before they can get it right (and one hit was on a running insurgent)? I have no problem with the misses by the Americans, but a big problem with the insurgent sniper's accuracy.
