I checked my DVD to confirm.

There's no reason they couldn't have been an elite special forces team that was also a mercenary outfit. That was the implication in the first movie. Remember, the US already sent in an elite special forces team who got slaughtered. Dutch's team found them without any skin.
As for Predator 2, well... who the hell gives a crap about it?

I think at the time, the movie was playing off of the US spec ops feast in south America. It was an implication, though the dialouge pretty much say's their US spec ops, which eliminates mercs. It's possible that mercs can be ex-SF but SF doens't use SF.Stofsk wrote:There's no reason they couldn't have been an elite special forces team that was also a mercenary outfit.

Though, I wonder if Arnorld didn't hunt down Glover after his incident, just to remind himself that it *did* happen and he wasn't crazy. Perhaps the two hunted down the chick in AVP ~15 years later just to make sure they weren't crazy.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Or maybe he hunted them down in order to erase all evidence of any sequels. I could see that.

since there was a sequel, he either failed *not an option for Arnold* or just wanted to grope the two.Petrosjko wrote:Or maybe he hunted them down in order to erase all evidence of any sequels. I could see that.
