I enjoyed it and thought it was intense.

NPR interviewed a few military people about it and I thought those guys acted dumb and blew it way out of proportion. The one guy was complaining and said that it wasn't an accurate picture of the military at all. He brought up how the guy doesn't use the robots and diffuses stuff himself. I thought the movie made it pretty obvious that pretty much everything the protagonist does is way over the top and not at all normal. They just don't make movies about people doing things the way they are supposed or events going as planned.

NPR also reported that half the troops they asked about the movie said they knew someone just like that and thought they knew the guy the movie was based on, and the other half said the movie was based on THEM. Including one guy that is actually suing because he says the character is based on him.
