Perhaps the French commander had enough information about the team to place their location, which he later spilled?

Yup, but I think that was mainly in the bomb episode. I remember Blaine introducing Brown to the French Commander as "Brown".
However, I do share your "how could Drago find the team so easily?" Drago was said to have ties to the local government, but it never came across that he was that wily or powerful beyond local concerns.
Another possible connection: Drago was last said to be in France (when Blaine was asking the Colonel to be involved in the op, while at the wedding banquet), and during the conversation between Blaine and the French commander, Blaine mentioned where he had learned French. A very loose connection, but perhaps a lead Drago used? (I'm still going with the French commander knew enough info and spilled it, since Drago doesn't come off as being some super detective)

The Unit" ended its first season with a two-hour, 9-11 p.m. finale that drew 13.5 million and 4.2/10 in the demo.
18.50 18.06 15.50 16.08 15.44 14.12 15.62 13.87 14.06 14.18
As you can see from above, The Unit's viewers in millions have fallen dramatically since it's premiere. A loss of at least 4 million viewers (22% ??) would mean cancellation for most programs.
Hopefully CBS and the creators have gotten the message from the viewers, we want to see The Unit and not the wives.

One question. Was the party or reception or whatever it was at some banquet hall at a golf course or something or was it somewhere on base? From what I've seen the team and the families spend almost their entire lives on the base, so that leads me to believe that the party was was at a reception/banquet hall on base. I find it very hard to believe that Drago's guys could have snuck into a military base undetected.

The Atlanta bomb episode was great. Unfortunately, it only took one wife to bring it to a screeching halt.
"You lied to me. I'm leaving"
Fine, leave, and don't come back. Traitor! Other than that scene where she wants to leave, this was a great episode. The tension around the bomb was incredible.
I was kind of surprised they called the French "frog/s" all the time.

Yeah, there wasn't too much love for the French in that episode.

The part that disgusts me is that I know Amy Acker was supposed to be one of the wives. I don't care if she was twice as annoying as the women they kept -- I would have at least had something to look at during those scenes.

Even at those numbers it still is one of the highest rated new shows of this season.
