This is one of the stupidest war movies I've ever seen. The whole military operation is a ridiculous and amateurish joke. What we saw was a bunch of soldiers fattened with thick modern day battle gears trapped in the armor trucks like sitting duck facing the rebels on foot with basic AK-47s, mortars and mines. We have a hesitant field commander kept looking outside of his armor vehicle, awaiting the feed from the UAV but did nothing. The Central Command also did a lousy job to order the support of the UAV to be redirected to the battleground, then ordered another Apache chopper to help saving the entrapped worthless soldiers. I just couldn't understand why the commander of the base didn't do both earlier. By following such stupidly scripted, poorly directed and bunch of fat actors to play the soldiers who did nothing but took turns and tried to find a signal of their cellphones while surrounded by the approaching rebels, the viewing has become a very tough and enduring process. The only way to free from such stupidity is like what I did: Quit watching, man.
