The Covenant…just, not good

You know what really threw it for me? Was all of the people marching in formation on the air field to random locations. I can overlook everything else. And I'm not kidding.

Watched it. I enjoyed it. 6.5 dog treats of 10. I never got the chance to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan so know nothing of relationships with interpreters. But the whole kinda reminded me of the dudes who picked up Luttrell and saved his ass and put themselves on the line.

But you guys can tell me...how many enlisted led squad sized elements were hunting IED factories?

A lot of implausible pieces to the storyline and maybe a SGM in a SMU gets that kind of license to walk all over the battle space...but if you remove yourself from what you know and you watch it late at night. It's a decent flick.

But yes the marching formations at airfields in a combat theater was odd.

The movie had so much potential....it's a great story that could have been done better.

I thought The Covenant was good. A typical Guy Ritchie film, loaded with stars and lots of action.

@ThunderHorse in 2005, Ft Bragg soldiers were forced to get their uniforms dry cleaned and pressed at BIAP. I also saw them doing PT in formations, during the daytime, in the summer!

Never underestimate how retarded the Army can be...

Rewatching 13 Hours and I still don't understand how people aren't in prison for this shit.

That was a thing at Bagram until Multicams were fielded.

They were still shutting down Disney Blvd. for PT when I left in 2015. No vehicular traffic from 5:00-7:00 or something like that. Showtimes for helo flights were at? 5:00. Brilliant!

I'm not to fond of The Rock as an actor since he always is the same character, but him playing Mark Kerr in an A24-produced biopic? I'm in.

I know that Bagram and KAF both were full garrisons managed by IMCOM with MPs assigned to Garrison Command. Which is funny all things considered.

I miss when Bagram had Infantry at the gates and it was a no salute area......
