I'd like to thank the academy for making Hurt Locker officially the most overrated movie of all time

Didn't say it was a requirement. Just speaking from personal experience. It's much more authentic than the usual bullshit Hollywood churns out.

I don't know Henry, I have been on over 200 route clearance missions, and have been attached with EOD for 30+ Neutralization of IED's, and a lot about the Hurt Locker is just flat out wrong. It was a descent movie, but the part where the main character goes rogue through the streets and gets his buddy killed are just about as far fetched as you can get . Definitely relate to the end of the movie though when he goes home.

Not saying it was spot on, but compared to the absolute jokes that Hollyweird usually puts out, this was very good.
Was with 10th Engineers, 3rd ID. You?

We were put into a multinational task force with the II MEF
Did some time in Diyalah with the 2nd ID
and near Sammara with the 101st.
Route Clearance is Probably the best 'Reservist' Army Job for being able to be with some real high speed people.
We also worked closely with the Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army.
We were passed around like person, but it was definitely a great experience.

I missed that part. Guy got shot in the leg but not killed. So there are no bad apple soldiers in out military. Nobody crosses the line when no one is there to stop them? Please do tell

I didn't understand that scene. Was the body bomb made to go off there, or was it going somewhere else? I just didn't get that scene.
And the third act was pretty bad. Other than those two aspects, I thought it was pretty damn intense. Basically an exercise in editing since it's the same story over and over again (man deactivates IED)
