Oh, and to the people bitching about how the captain is such a meanie-head:
Yelling is actually a very effective tool for training. Don't ask me why or how, but it seems to be working so far. For those unused to it, it`s extremely harsh and possibly frightening (or angering). But after a while, you become inundated to it, and it works as a great motivator--and not necessarily in a negative sense.

"When do American Police stage raids on military targets? (Not SWAT teams, I'm talking regular police, which these guys obviously are)."
While I can understand the use of "military target," to me it`s more akin to a meth lab or a gang den. There`s an unknown amount of hostiles in a certain location, and they need to be taken care of. While these may be your average Joe Cop, how do you think specialists (SWAT, FBI, etc) are created? Watching it done over and over and over? No, your average Joe gets specific training--much like I`d imagine the Army is doing with the police--then gains experience.
I`m not suggesting we throw neophytes at a terrorist den, or whatever the hell the captain wants to go after, I would imagine that by this point in time they`ve got SOME idea of what they need to do.
