our military shouldn't be exploited for political feel good brownie points. I feel like this movie is a propaganda movie film to make benefit glorious leader and his re election machine.

I have no doubt he will use it as he used team 6 to try get to get a ratings bounce.

I think this movie is going to really good but it makes me kind of mad that they have active duty seals in the movie and show their tactics. ALL of our enemies will watch and study this movie and get a lot of intelligence from this movie on how our elite operators work. As far as their identity goes, they will probably have camo covering their entire face so it would be hard to identify them unless you already know them.

LOL at people getting "concerned for their safety", we're talking about seals here. Not your local ROTC, on a field trip to bolivia.

The ideas this movie came from the Navy. They did use real seals and made absolute certain to protect opsec and persec. It's not like some Hollywood type convinced some seals to be in their movie and wanted to divulge all of our secrets to terrorists.

I have worked with SEALS and think their image is in pretty darn good shape already.
