Is this an elite SEAL Team? A group of Tier 1 elite operators? More than just wearing the uniform of military service, they are wearing the uniform of the most elite, more disciplined, most well-organized fighting unit that exists. Bravo Team is the best-of-the-best.
Yet, when it comes outside of actual battle they are portrayed as cry-babies and procrastinators, even too cowardly to do the right thing, or do what needs to be done.
Firstly Jason. Writers please get him out of this self-indulgent wallowing in self-pity stage, where, as soon as he is no longer on a mission, he becomes a morose and miserable cry-baby.
I wrote in my review of season 1, episode 1: "I immediately lost respect for the David Boreanaz character, 'cos he is such a manly man, a top-notch soldier, but too cowardly to concede that he has been negatively affected by the death of his friend and team mate, and so too cowardly to do anything about it, even though he must surely know it could prove detrimental to his Team."
Season 3, episode 3, 2 seasons later, here we are again. Here we have a manly man, who just isn't man enough to stand up and say, "I have a problem", too mucho to get help.
Jason told his daughter that he was glad in her schooling she was taking subjects she doesn't like because, "...if it doesn't hurt, he wouldn't be getting his money's worth". Hey Jason, how able you take your own advice, seek some help, even if you don't like it, then we know we are "getting our money's worth"?
Then there's Clay, a smooth operator in the field, but in the real world at a loss. "What should I do?" he laments like a directionless toddler, "I don't want to risk not being an operator". Hey Clay, you are a SEAL; more than just instilling a need to be an operator, it should instil a strong sense of right and wrong, something that will benefit you in all facets of life. So stop being a, use your moral code!
Then there's Ray. If for the benefit of your family you have to undertake steps that will lead you to outranking Jason, so what? He is a big boy, and even more than that, he is a SEAL! And as such, he should be above all that.
So it shouldn't be a problem.
Yet, this is cry-baby Jason we are talking about. Maybe it will be a problem.
The writers seem to forget that they are writing about SEALs. Have them comport themselves as SEALs!
