    No way in real life would an embassy send ALL the Marines to the site of an RPG attack on a U.S. convoy. The blood stripes ain't leaving the post they're supposed to protect.

    But that's what happens when you have a power-hungry, thinks he knows it all former senator running the show instead of someone with intelligence agency experience.

    The second the RPG attack happened I said "it's just a diversion to get terrorists into the embassy"

    Duck Phillips just asked if it was all of them....sure it was inferred that it was, but I think it's more just enough that the ones left might be overrun by Hakkani and his men

    A few claymores in that tunnel would solve the problem. And I cannot believe there would not be some sort of video surveillance on the "secret" entrance that a lot of people knew about.

    That's who he is. I've been thinking all season that he looked familiar but was too lazy to hit up imdb.

    SPOILER


    When it was Quinn and the single Marine hiding and watching the terrorists I thought if this was a Stallone, Willis, JCVD movie, that he'd take out the terrorists piece meal, but thats only in the movies not TV series. Half right. He and the Marine did manage to take out all but 3 terrorists, but the massacre was jarring.

    Carrie yelling at no one in particular during the fire-fight was classic

    Lackluster finale to a solid season. But it did set things up nicely for next season.

    Yes, kind of underwhelming.
