Where was James Suh, the Asian team member?


I see Rich Ting credited as playing James Suh, the Asian SEAL, but I don't recall seeing an Asian team member in the movie. In fact, I don't recall seeing Asian Rich Ting as Asian James Suh anywhere in the film. They flash photos of the real Operation Red Wings team members at the end of the movie and there's an Asian team member in the pix of the real guys.

I guess the filmmakers thought the American movie viewing audience wouldn't understand a non-white Navy SEAL. I actually liked this movie before I realized this.

He was certainly there, as I recall, but the most memorable part I remember seeing him in was when the helicopter where LCDR Kristensen's response team gets shot down. He had about a second or two's screen time. I might be wrong about this.

Go troll somewhere else - there was about 16 guys who died on the Chinook instead of on the ground, do we really get to see any of them at all? No, pretty much just the leader and the new kid...
