Agree with others who say it's turned into a cheesy novel-type programme. There are other medics in the camp - why is Molly's character the only one ever sent out into the field and seen participating in the competitive games to win the trip home?
And she's the only one who ever suspects something suspicious (even as a relative newbie) and managed to shoot an insurgent armed with a huge gun, with her little tiny pistol-type firearm whilst at the same time bandaging a leg.
It would have been a bit more believable if the other medics were seen to be joining in too. For instance, another medic could have gone out, suffered similar trauma, and Molly's character could have comforted him or her upon return (And that's another point - medics are often male - we only appear to have females in this programme. Duh)!!
I, too, had high hopes, but they've been dashed, sadly.
And Capt James appears not a nice person after all; he's married with children - my daughter experienced this in real life with a soldier a couple of years ago and had her heart broken. Looks should not deceive you, dear ladies!!
And whilst we might feel sorry for Smurf at the moment and now he loves her, he wasn't nice to her at the start; in fact, he was positively nasty.
(PLUS Ben Aldridge is not a great actor). Sorry - had to say it
