Which would make them EVEN BIGGER JERKS! These guys have just ON THEIR ORDERS RISKED THEIR LIVES to save a bunch of hostages -- SUCCESSFULLY! AND they've been through what looked like an atomic explosion and except for Lagoon boy, none of the others are notably at home in water (we presume the hostages could all swim so they didn't drown while Superman was doing nothing but scowling).

Yes, you are entirely right, I'm sure. The idea was to build tension over Tim putting the squad into danger but it MADE NO SENSE!
