They do get killed but Curtis was a guy who would get missions done in spite of difficulties. To have him revert to a personal beef when there was a nuke in play made no sense in so far as his character. Out of respect to his character I thought he should have died in the field or even trying to stop the nuke. Jack could have been sprurred to get back in the game 100% losing a comrade instead of having to kill him himself.
I understand what they were trying to do but there was a better way to do it.
It was clear to me that Curtis was disobeying orders. Was sad to see him go but he let his emotions get in the way of the mission. NOT GOOD.
Logan was the VP under the first President Palmer. He
got caught up in corruption and was thrown out. I guess his VP became President as he was involved in exposing Logan as was Logans wife and various other people and then he lost election due to the liberal weenie voters who elected the 2nd President Wayne Palmer.
