Agreed. Being a former G.I. I can say without hesitation that I never met or heard someone of his rank with such a weak "Call to Attention." He would have been hounded by EVERYONE in his unit for it.

Agreed. Military leaders exude confidence and speak with authority and clarity. That's how they become leaders, period. He mumbled like he was in a "Fast and Furious" sequel and not a leader of a military unit charged with the transportation of a secured and secretive item.
I know some think he did well, and that's your opinion. But in reality, from someone like me who served in the military and lived the lifestyle, he did an injustice to the role of a "Captain," period.
I have never been a fan of recasting roles but I'd make an exception for Channing Tatum as Duke. Ed Norton isn't an option.
