Outside the Wire - S2-E7

Other mistake: Ray asks about ISR drone overwatch, the Colonel says "a drone will stick out in the city." Jason says to put up chopper which Clay will be in. In the operations room once the mission has started Davis says "ISR is up", and the team is viewing the target on their screens via video feed. The view is directly from up top so it can't be a video feed coming from Clay's chopper since he's viewing the target through his rifle scope at an angle and distance. Drones can fly at 30,000ft, 9100m. (00:22:00 - 00:28:00)

Outside the Wire - S2-E7

Other mistake: The Seal team and the Mexican Marines are discussing an HVT snatch and grab. One of the team asks about using an ISR drone, and the suggestion is shot down with the comment that it would stick out in the city. First of all military drones can fly at 9000m/9km/30,000ft so that statement is false. A chopper is suggested. As the mission progresses one of the team members in the TOC says "we're tracking the target on ISR now." Did they forget what was just said 4 minutes ago? (00:22:00 - 00:26:00)

Never Say Die - S2-E2

Factual error: Jason's wife Alana tells Jason she going to grab H.E.B.'s finest bottle of $12 red, a rotisserie chicken and beer. H.E.B is a Texas grocery store, and the show is set in Virginia Beach, VA, Virginia doesn't have H.E.B. Stores. (00:39:03)

Season 2 generally

Question: This season has added the odd effect of a large puff of red smoke/dust whenever someone is shot. It is unrealistic and distracting. Wondering if anyone knows the reason for this change.

Answer: Depending on caliber the body does spray blood from .308 and up.

Answer: Only because it looks cool on screen.
