Bigelow and Boal have successfully made EOD Technicians (Specifically ones associated with a particular EOD Group - They chose a certain patch on the uniforms to do this!) appear as undisciplined, reckless and self-serving. It is a shame that the writer of this article has bought into the sensationalization that this movie creates of EOD technicians and Soldiers. There is a reason that most of us that do this job come back alive. It is because we do not act in a manner depicted in this movie and are truly professional.
