its just so ridiculously unrealistic. First off, in the scene in the beginning when he is running around town in his "bomb proof suit", and he just picks up all those daisy chained 155 shells....that would never happen. There are protocols about that kind of stuff, if they would have exploded it would have taken out a few city blocks...dude would have killed his whole team.
And when that car was driving at him, and he pulls out his pistol and points it at the car until it stops......really?
Second, EOD ALWAYS, rolls around with massive amounts of security, I have been security for EOD before, no way he is going to just be running around by himself or with his little team.
Third, there is no way they would just let that guy randomly walk outside the FOB to go track down some little Iraqi kid that got kidnapped or something.
Thats just the stuff off the top of my head, I made a list once of like 25 ridiculous things that happen in that movie. If you watch it with anyone whos ever been in the military they will point them all out to you.
