Who was your favourite S.E.A.L. and why?


I think that Red was my favourite seal because he always seemed to be the one who was fighting or doing something. In addition, I always thought that he was presented to be the best.

Although i have to admit that i also liked Lake's character.

Who was your favourite seal and why?

I really liked Flea, despite the fact that he really didn't have that much of a role. I just thought he was real cool. Ultimately I really liked all the SEALs, they all showed an unwavering loyalty to their superior and they all had good personal realationships with each other that showed as the movie progressed. Two guys I liked in particular were Lake and Red, when given an order or recommendation they put their personal objections aside and obeyed their commanding officer. Quality men.

hell yeah - Flea was awesome - cool haircut and awesome callsign

For me it was definitely Red. This character just completely stole the show. Even from Bruce Willis.

Zee. He seemed to be that little voice in the back of Lt.'s head, and at times even seemed to know what he was thinking. Probably should be like that with a second-in-command under fire (if I got the ranking right).
Other than him, it's Slo. Don't know why, just liked his slow, dry way of talking. "Are we there yet?" *g*

Surely Red, Lake, Doc and the character of Nick Chinlund (the actor)...I love them...But especially Red...^^

I think I liked Red, also. Early in the movie Red questions Bruce Willis's judgment, but later he comments about not leaving these people here and getting them to safety even if he dies trying. But, "Slo" was good also. He seemed to be nonchalant about it all. He has two good scenes. The one when he tells Walker these guys must be in the _____ Olympics and when he says "are we there yet".

Red of course, the way he ran and placed the mine was (lack of better words) amazing. That's a 'holy $h!t' moment!

I'd go for Doc or Red.

Red was simply a badass. He's running through the entire battle area by himself, gets shot (I think... blood was all over all the SEALs so it was hard to tell) and keeps going. Plus he kicked ass with a pistol... props ;).

Doc showed compassion for the people and didn't really seem to question orders the others did.

It's hard to say, I liked all of them, but in particular Lake. I liked the fact that though he didn't agree with what was going on, he still wanted to take part in the rescue, and was loyal to his team.

But I especially thought it touching when as he was dying, he still tried to cover the dying woman and protect her body with his. I couldn't help but cry!

Lake for being a BAMF. And because he is Portrayed by Johnny "totally insane" Messner! Johnny Messner rules!

RED RED CHA CHA CHA!!

messner ftw

Tiocfaidh ar la.

Lake......... pointmen always rock! He wasn't afraid to sport a mohawk (no, that was not a high and tight, it was a mohawk) and when he caught one in the shoulder he was apologetic and itching to get back into the fight fast.

And his covering the refugee to the last, even though he felt they shouldn't be doing it showed his dedication to the mission.

Chuck Norris.
Sorry couldn't resist.

reply

Which one was he? Will have to watch the whole thing again to try and spot him, lol.

Lake was my favourite, he was loyal and brave to the end.

Chuck Norris was the huge explosion at the end, which wasn't an explosion, it was Chuck roundhouse-kicking the entire platoon of Nigerian Rebels...
