You've got to be kidding

Warning: Spoilers
Why are they still using this Oil Burner, U.S.S. Nathan James, instead of Nuclear Powered "Destroyer" (reclassified a Cruiser) U.S.S. Bainbridge.

1 minute 12 seconds making a "sandbox" (drawing) on the ground 2 minutes 50 seconds leaving without intentionally erasing the "sandbox" (drawings on the floor).

If wounded in Combat the FIRST thing you do is assess the wound so that you don't die. Stop the bleeding. Figure out your tactical situation, knowing that you will not have full mental capabilities. Resort to Training and Experience from SERE Training, Special Warfare Training, Special Warfare Training includes Emergency Medical Treatments including some Battlefield Medicine, bagging yourself with an IV, plugging a bullet wound with a tampon rolled up paper towel or cloth to stop or slow down bleeding, stitching a wound shut, improvised bandages and tourniquets. U.S. Army Special Forces Team Members usually Cross Train with the Team's Physician's Assistant (recognized external to the U.S. as a Doctor and Emergency Battlefield Surgeon).

9 minutes 5 seconds They would not all be standing around by the Rubber Boat as easy targets for one RPG-7 to kill them all at Site Bravo. And there is the common thing called Radio Triangulation, meaning that by breaking radio silence they at Site Bravo are going to be found.

13 minutes 59 seconds to 14 minutes 13 seconds, After killing the Enemy you do not leave any weapons and ammunition with them that can be picked up and used against you. You take all of that with you to use against them, if you have too much, you field strip the weapons and toss the parts all over the place, empty bullets from magazines as you leave (leaving a trail, that you can then use to ambush any enemy following the trail of bullets).

14 minutes 8 seconds M16 dropped on ground, M16 set to semi automatic is much better than a pistol for Urban Warfare, as longer range, more accurate, and more ammunition (30 rounds). Glitch at 14 minutes 8 seconds he is holding a Stock M16, yet at 14 minutes 14 seconds the same weapon dropped to the ground is now a M4 with forward pistol grip and collapsible stock.

16 minutes 42 seconds the use of tethered small format (usually undetectable) High Altitude Aerial Platforms (a Balloon shaped like an upside down submarine, the bottom has radar and electro optical video) to see over the Horizon visually and with radar, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as standard practice set on autopilot flying high in a large circle around Ship.

26 minutes 1 second to 26 minutes 34 seconds, nope, full automatic, not going to happen unless you have a magic weapon that never has to be reloaded, or you have a ruck sack full of fully loaded magazines. Lesson learned from the Battle of Mogadishu, we ran out of ammunition, and picked up enemy weapons and ammunition.

27 minutes 57 seconds, if detected by radar the first move of experienced UH-1 Pilots is to drop below radar, 5 meters to 50 meters, experienced UH-1 Pilots also know Nap Of Earth (N.O.E.) Aviation. Experienced Pilots will do an extensive Terrain Map Recon and use the Terrain as Cover. UH-1s were usually NOT equipped with Radar Detection those that did had extra antennae above and below the tail, later MH-60s were, while not all UH-60s were equipped. Flight over water, in this kind of situation, after being detected, 1 meter to 5 meters above water called "skid surfing" on UH-1s.

38 minutes 30 seconds, magic while in flight switch from overhead view of dual inlet HH-60 or MH-60 back to a UH-1.

One to two U.S. Navy Corpsmen routinely are with Teams especially Rescue Teams. A Physician's Assistant as a U.S. Army Special Forces Team Member is with a U.S. Army Special Forces Team conducting Rescue Recapture Recovery Missions, same with a U.S.A.F. Special Operations Wing Team.
