Stupidity: If the doctor was able to choose the people to go on the helicopter, why didn't she make up a reason to put the president's son on the helicopter for his safety? She could have said he was sick. (01:14:40)
Suggested correction: He is shown to be a caring person. There is no way he would take the place of a sick woman or child just to save his own neck.
That correction is illogical though. By not getting on the helicopter he puts everyone else at way more risk. It would have made getting the rest of the people left behind out of danger much easier as they wouldn't have been hunted down by the people who were chasing the president's son. By not getting on that helicopter he could have gotten everyone killed.
Stupidity: They have the technology to track the movement of the rebel troops, and while the Nigerian airspace is too hot for extract, the fighter jets landing behind Tom Skeritt on the carrier could easily wipe out 300 rebel soldiers.
