Brief Synopsis:

This is a faster cut that focuses on the Navy SEALs doing their mission. Much of the priest/nuns screentime have been cut. Some redundant exposition involving the ethnic cleansing have been minimized. I tried to make this edit less preachy and simply about the SEALs doing their job.

Intention:

Faster pace, less guilt.
