Bad

"Silly"
Silly is not a proper adjective to describe this episode, pathetic would be the proper term. It is a shame that a show as good The Unit would stoop to such depths.

"Painful to watch"
The pointless and open french-bashing was ridiculous. The last scene was a disgrace. This tells alot on the political views of the story writers and I'm done with this show.
