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.

Intentions:

Faster pace, less guilt.

Change List:

- Removed some missionary scenes with priest/nuns. - Removed some dissolve transitions. - Removed shots of jungle animals. - Removed some cutaway shots from action. - Removed some hints of romance developing between characters. - Removed some redundant exposition. - Moved Edmund Burke quote to beginning to make it less of a guilt trip at the end. - Other minor cuts to improve pacing. In total over 50 cuts.
