All in a POW Camp in Afghanistan???

Since when are American soldiers held prisoner in Afghanistan POW camps? It's not Vietnam. Sadly, American soldiers taken, are murdered, not held prisoner. Kidnapped hostages are a different story. Other than the female soldier that was rescued (was it even Afghanistan?), I've never even heard of soldier prisoners, let alone POW camps in Afghanistan.

And if a bullet ripped through his abdomen, and was cauterized with gun powder in a filthy "prison", why are there zero scars during his gratuitous shirtless scenes?

You want the writers to actually do research and write well thought out plots and not dribble the scripts from their butts? Not likely.

No research necessary. Just an ounce of common sense and a dash of intellect. But you're right; not likely.
