You must also consider the skill, training, etc. of the squad. You wouldn't use navy seals to conduct patrols in Afghanistan. These were basic soldiers. Some with specialized training but nothing rare or sorely needed else where.In the movie, the squad fought every battle to do the right thing for all allied soldiers and most were unfortunate in the end. The mission succeeded but cost most of the squads lives.I could elaborate more on a few things. Maybe another post.Oh and nice necro.</blockquote>
