Would you?
The president stated that they were confident that the backup plane of using Titan missiles would work, but the attempt could only occur a few hours before the two comets entered the atmosphere. When that failed, they detailed where the two comets would impact, and authorized people on the eastern seaboard to evacuate.
My actual response to your review
Agree. It was <i>tiring.</i> Had to quit your TL,DR comment, just like you quit the movie 👍

The chain of events that followed, where Lynette rebuffed Sid once she learned that he quit the navy along with Sid's subsequent suicide, all could have been avoided <i>if</i> Sid had not DORed - or more succinctly - had not been <i>permitted</i> to DOR so easily. This is completely irrational logic, but it <i>is</i> what Zach felt given his actions and reactions. Foley's decision not to kick Mayo out, clearly didn't absolve Foley of everything that had transpired up until the point that Sid died, as far as Zach is concerned. Mayo ultimately <i>does</i> indeed develop respect for Foley, but what you are mistaken about is <i>when</i> it occurs.
When Sid appeared dressed in civilian clothes, Zach immediately suspects Foley threw him out because he never figured that Sid - of all people - would quit the navy after everything Mayo had learned about Sid's family, and what he heard first hand from Sid's father. Initially, it was a natural assumption that Sid had washed out due to the pressure chamber incident, not that he voluntarily DORed. This is why Zach lashed out at Foley. "Hey, I'm talking to you, m.f! I thought the DI's were supposed to help everybody out around here." That subtext was clear. Mayo was personally confronting Foley's conscience: 'You know that you gave <i>me</i> a break when you didn't have to, so why can't you give the best student, best friend of everyone in the class a break too?' "Can't you bend your g.d. rules for once!" Mayo felt guilty/offended that <i>he</i> had been granted a pass, but Sid was not being afforded the same consideration. When Sid finally admits that he DORed without being prompted by Foley, Zach was completely astonished. He couldn't believe that the Sid Worley that he thought that he knew, would ever quit the navy. He turned to Foley and appealed for empathy. "He's got a girl in town that's putting him through Hell..," but yet again, from Mayo's perspective, Foley's reaction was dismissive and unsympathetic. Zach remembered first hand how much pressure Foley put on students such as Daniels and himself to dropout, and now Foley was simply letting one of the best in the class quit two weeks before graduation, without much visible regret. So, fair or not, Mayo does partially blame Foley for <i>allowing</i> Sid to quit so easily.
<blockquote>Zach and Foley eventually formed a mutual respect for each other after Foley couldn't force Zach's DOR, and that happened well before Sid's suicide.</blockquote>
That is only partially correct. Mutual respect isn't automagically equitable, and doesn't occur until <i>both</i> parties choose to embrace it. Mayo fought off Foley's determination to get him to quit, so <i>Foley</i> threatened to kick him out. On his knees, Zach begged him not to, and Foley relented. Foley had clearly gained some measure of respect for Mayo. However, Zach didn't necessarily immediately drop <i>all</i> ill-feelings toward Foley simply because Foley agreed to let him continue. Mayo was still forced to scrub urinals, stairs, floors, and hardly would have simply forgiven and forgotten all of the judgmental personal verbiage Foley threw at him about his father and his mother during the emotional and physical marathon effort to get him to quit.
