To update Clark from his VN vet to 1980s and 1990s dude,
You need to be able to go from pre GWOT to fried over the hill still crushing it and DGAF.
I would switch from Navy to Army Combat diver,
And make him a pushing 60 dude that was a cherry Ranger Bn infantryman in desert one, jumped into Grenada, jumped into panama, went to OTC, knocked out desert storm and Somalia, converted from 11 series to 18 series in the early 90s to finally make E8, hammered out some GWOT, retired after thirty years in mid 2000s, went SAD, aged out, still contracting for them, etc.
Maybe Vigho Mortensen type could pull it off.
I guess you could do a seal version, with first combat Grenada or panama.

Can we get action heroes with out AARP cards?
If we are talking about "Without Remorse", he has to be pretty young, and while Virgo would be great to play an older Clark, if you are origin storying it, you need someone in younger. Jordan is 32, Tom Hardy was originally in the plans and he is 42.
You make him a pure GWOT guy, hell, we have almost 20 years into that. Make it drugs from A-stan coming instead of Vietnam. The POW thing would have to be re-worked, but saving and admirals son from behind the lines works out well again. Who wouldn't want to see some hood rats get de-presureized....
Just depends how much of a re-boot you want. Re-telling the books in their original time frames would be cool, but I think that they would update them to the now.

Watched the first 2 episodes yesterday. Not bad at all.

I meant that should be current Clark. The older been everywhere done everything mentor guy can’t be young. Origin story should have a younger clone. In the 1980s a BTDT could be some one with a year in VN under their belt.
The bar for being a BTDT guy is very high these days. Guys in their 50s with decades of service under their belt and sometimes racked up Five to ten years or more in combat/under cover alone.

We really liked it. Filling the void that Homeland has left, and it's much faster-paced.

Finished season 2; tons of frustrating decisions made...like why did the boat driver leave the boat...and then somehow totally gets redeemed by his team...and is all high speed low drag...

The SWCC guy, don't get me started. He would know his lane; he'd not leave "his" boat. If the booger-eaters were around he might move it up/downriver and the SAD team implement the PACE/E&E plan, but he would not leave the boat.

Compound that with: a) falling asleep in the open, b) falling asleep without your weapon in close contact and attached to your person, c) allowing a child to acquire your weapon because of points a & b - and somehow this guy is supposed to be a top tier operator??? This guy wouldn't make it through AIT in the real military.
They definitely need to get some new writers.
