Was Jack a Gary Stu?

no, he was a protagonist, and ultimately he suffered more personal losses in his defense of America than he did gains, and there are tons of people even on his side of things that don't like him or his methods.

Why do Gary Stu threads always suck?

Women and gays think people use Mary Stu for any lead female character who wins at the end of the gay.
