To revisit my earlier point, you have dozens of bad guys attacking an American black site in Yemen for 15-20 minutes and no falking drones, no air support?! Come on, how much BS can the audience swallow? Those attackers would have been vaporized 60 seconds in, and even if they made the getaway, their convoy would have been vaporized on the way out. Somebody with real military knowledge, convince me there wouldn't be a drone orbiting that site... Otherwise, I cannot buy into this show.

Spoiler!

Well it was a remote outpost with no "official" US military presence, it was mainly Yemeni military with a handful of American special forces. The escape didn't bug me as much as how inept they showed those special forces to be, no one thought to actually search or identify the bodies they were paying bounties for? No one thought to lob a grenade or two at the main gate to obliterate the attacking force? And let just sit out in the open firing our guns instead of finding any cover


Episode 2 wasn't any better, they made the French SWAT team look like a bunch of tools. I like the story and actors so far, but screwing up technical details (which was always Clancy's biggest strength) is really hampering my enjoyment of the show
