Warning: Spoilers
MH-60Ms of the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment "Night Stalkers" more powerful YT706-GE-700 engines, Two M134 door guns, Rockwell Collins Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) glass cockpit, FLIR, AN/APQ-174B terrain-following radar, color weather map, improved weapons capability, auxiliary fuel system, laser rangefinder/designator, various defensive systems, in-flight refueling probe by 2003.

The CIA would not let anybody fly one of the last CIA MH-60 Stealth Helicopters, only Two were built, and have significant Flight characteristics being a lot heavier, the minimum would have been Two Chief Warrant Officer 4 or 5 and no Commissioned Officers, same as the previous CIA MH-60 Stealth. The CIA would have inserted a CIA Special Activities Directorate or CIA Special Operations Group (no Grade nor Rank) "Operator" as the Team Leader into the U.S. Army's Special Forces First Detachment as the Team Leader and Mission Commander.

A CIA Stealth RQ-170 would have seen everything. Even CW3 Madani killing the CIA Operator. A CIA MQ ("Armed Drone") would have also been flying around.

With the upgrade to the more powerful YT706-GE-700 engines 2,638 shp (1,967 kW) since a few years ago, that bogus "Not Enough Torque" would not have happened. U.S. Army Special Operations do not use UH-60As T700-GE-700 engines 1,622 shp (1,210 kW) since before 2007. The Conflict between U.S. Army Special Forces First Detachment "Team Leader" would not have occurred and by the way they are not called "Delta Force", just like U.S. Navy Special Warfare Development Group "DEVGRU" pronounced Dev Grew, are not called "S.E.A.L. Team Six", especially by the C.I.A. for Years already. An E-6 U.S. Army Special Forces of First Detachment would not be a "Team Leader" an O-3 would be and would have a Chief warrant Officer as the Team's Executive Officer, an E-6 is one of the Lowest Most Inexperienced of U.S Army Special Forces, and would not be of the U.S. Army's Special Forces First Detachment as after additional Training and Assessments would be an E-7 by the time he is assessed to a Team of First Detachment as an "Operator", same with Teams of DEVGRU Operators. Average age 35 or older. As far as who (whom) flies the MH-60Ms of the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, that would be (if you noticed the Qualification Badges) really old Chief Warrant Officers, 40 or over, Commissioned Officers usually older than 40 also, as having gone thru U.S. Army Aviation School, been with a Aviation Company for Years, Instrument Flight School, Examiner's Course, usually requires going thru the U.S. Army's Air Assault School, U.S. Army's Airborne School before going to the U.S. Army's Special Forces Aviation School.

And do not even say they are flying UH-60As for Training Purposes, the Motto ("Policy") has been around "Train as you will Fight" for a longtime, U.S. Aviators know this to be 100 percent True, as the Flight Characteristics of a UH-60A and a U.S. Army Special Forces MH-60M are significantly different.

As far as flying below 50 feet, that is the U.S. Air Force Technical Regulations as to what U.S. Air Force Aviators are Restricted from doing, not the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, flying Nap Of the Earth aka "N.O.E.", that is actually encouraged using Visual Flight Rules and intensive Map Reconnaissance and Higher level Reconnaissance Flights during the Day. at Night the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment excel in Nap Of the Earth flying using Instruments like Terrain Following Radar (that thing that sticks out of the front of the nose that this TV Series does not have, nor do these have that very noticeable mid air refueling probe sticking many feet on the Pilot's side (Pilot sits right side, Co Pilot sits left side) beyond the front of the MH-60M.), On screen Long Range Night Vision Video, after intensely memorizing maps before even flying in case they must fly Nap Of the Earth without the Terrain Following Radar and or the On Screen Long Range Night Vision Video, they will then Pilot First Co Pilot has Control then Co Pilot lower their Stereoscopic Night Vision Devices to fly.

"Fraternization" sorry a Commissioned Officer (O-1 and Higher) is saluted by any Chief Warrant Officer (CWO-1 and higher), "the Command" if aware of First Lieutenant (O-2) Porter and CWO-3 Madani of any "Fraternization" they would be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, as Conduct Unbecoming, Adultery ("Sex with somebody that is not your Spouse", used to be, "Sex with somebody that is not your Wife"), first a Career Killing Article 15 from the General Officer in the Chain of Command as a minimum O-2 Porter would become an E-5, CW3 Madani would become an E-5 or less, a Hearing and if contested a Court Martial if they lose this means time as "Prisoner" as no Grade nor Rank at the Fort Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks, this has become Standard after all the Sex Scandals within the U.S. Military, either way both would be Outprocessing from the U.S. Military within a month. The only way that they could have gotten away with this would have been for both of them to be of Different Units, as soon as their Relationship started one of them would have had to Transfer to another Unit.

Based on what I've watched Director Randy Zisk, Creator Kyle Jarrow, Executive Story Editors April Fitzsimmons, Bret VandenBos, Brandon Willer, Staff Writers Casey Fisher, Shamar White know very little.

Not bad episode the middle and ending was good.

Valor episode 2 espirit de corps was good the middle was good had some more information not exactly "good information" but it was information.

This episode did give detailed information on what had happened in Somalia and that the team and it's operation or mission was real and that it was happening and that casualties would have happened not as planned but it would have happened anyways.

The episode also showed more about Nora and Gallo and that there relationship was strictly professional and that what had happened in Somalia was big news very big news disaster news.

This episode showed pretty good training and it's routines there precision and tactics in and on the helicopter along with some extended help of course(think there fellow soldiers and the management well and the military itself to).

The episode showed some more in depth info on Nora and Ian's relationship along with Nora and her close friendship with Kam's wife and they still struggle with his capture but Nora is handling it a different way than his own wife though.

This episode was good the beginning could have been better but the middle and ending made up for it and the 3rd episode looks pretty good at least that is what the preview of it looks like and i will probably give it a watch.

This TV show is pretty intense to some viewers but it also shows aspects of what it is like in battle.
