    That's correct gentlemen

    This issue is a bit of a reversal in terms of quality.  So far the mess that is the first half of this book has been a confusing tale with almost no continuity where the soldiers are half portrayed as living in a gritty modern war environment, and half portrayed as living in a fantastical world with super heroes.  Here that reverses a little bit as the squad is on the move in Djibouti after barely escaping in the previous issue.  While some parts of this don't make sense, at least it more or less makes sense finally with some all right action and decent pacing.  The real letdown here was the backup story.  I was under the impression that the backup story was going to follow the team of SEALS, but I guess that was just the one story arc as the backup story here follows the implementation of a an exoskeleton armour system.  This is too bad, for me the coherent Navy SEALs story was not so bad, especially after the resolution in the last issue.  Here though it is an oversimplified approach to war in my opinion.  This book is still not really going anywhere.
