    I saw this in the theater and the audience was completely quiet by the end of the movie. I already knew what had happeend in that incident, but similar to Saving Private Ryan, you'll never know until a film maker makes it as real as it can get. I know this is still a hollywood film, but if even half of what they showed was real, that's enough. More people should watch these movies about our brave servicemen and women who are giving their lives to protect our freedoms and liberties that we take so much for granted.

I question our involvement in most of these conflicts going back to the 50s. The current war in Eastern Europe is the biggest grift of all. When a former President warned of the Military industrial complex you best believe its a serious problem.

      @@Embur12 it's the unfortunate catch-22 of the last century...if the US gets involved to stop an event from spiraling into something bigger, we're hated on for being the "world police" (and with the US making up like ~65% of the UN's military capability, we're pretty much always involved in their shenanigans); if the US plays isolationist and stays out of events, then (based on the last 120-ish years) those events tend to spiral out of control and turn into genocides (like Somalia and Rwanda) or full-fledged world wars and everybody blames us for not getting involved sooner to try and prevent it.

    I was never a very religious man but after three tours to Iraq and Afghanistan I quickly understood the old saying, "No atheists in foxholes" I still struggle with survivors guilt to this day and find myself in tears as a 56 year old man. I lost the closest friends I've ever had after our humvee hit an IED. Why I survived and those other great men did not I will never understand. The state of our nation today pains me greatly but even more is the lack of support for our veterans. It was disgusting that I had to fight for 100% disability despite losing both legs in the IED incident. Our government has truly failed those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. RLTW. God Bless Our Troops.

    You could go YEARS without seeing your battle buddies, then one day you meet up, and it is as though NO time had passed. We share an unshakable, unbreakable, unwavering bond that NO ONE can break. Even if I never served next to someone I meet, within 5 minutes or less, we become brothers, just because of our shared experiences. No one who has never experienced it can ever hope to even begin to understand our bond of fellowship.

    As a vet, and gun nut... errr... I mean "responsible firearm owner", I am proud to say that I spared no expense in faithfully building nearly exact clones of the "Gordon carbine" and the "Shughart M14". Some components have not been manufactured in over 20 years, and obtaining actual working vintage parts was extremely time consuming and expensive. Probably my two favorite rifles in my collection.
    Operation Gothic Serpent was one that was relatively unknown until this movie came out. The bravery of the US servicemen is extraordinary. I believe 6 (or 4?) helicopters were actually brought down by heavy machine gun and rocket fire. The other made controlled crashes in the green zone, but 6-1 and 6-4 went down hard in militia territory. In the after action reports it was revealed that the pilots pitched the nose of the helicopters directly into the ground at the last second so the cockpit would absob the brunt of the impact. This indescribable level of self sacrifice saved many of the occupants in the back. These pilots were members of the elite and secretive 160th SOAR "Night Stalkers" who conducted clandestine helicopter special forces insertions all over the world. The had the distinction of flying just feet above the ground into Iraq, under cover of darkeness, before operation Desert Storm, inserting SOCOM units deep behind enemy lines to capture or destory communications and radar stations. It was they who fired the first unheard shots of that campagn. It is speculated that they were involved in nearly every special forces maneuver or clandestine operation during the Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton administrations.

    Brother, when I was in Baghdad, some of the guys I served with were veterans of this Mogadishu incident. I only knew that because one of the other guys there pointed them out. Why he felt it necessary to tell me... I have no clue. Those men never spoke on their experiences, and I never asked. But having served with them, I can absolutely say they were consummate professionals. Any hidden wounds they fought... they hid quite well. I was honored to have had the opportunity to serve with them.
    Oh, and Eric Bana's character was a combination of three men from the book. I hated his portrayal until I saw the behind-the-scenes video, and learned what he had to do to make his character. Because of that video, I gained a mighty respect for his portrayal.

But here was yet another example of a battle that we should never have been involved in. Civil wars in other nations should never be our business, even at the expense of 200,000 of THEIR OWN DEAD!

I wanted all that-SMOKE !!! LOL. My first tour was at Camp TQ,Iraq ( it was a Marine FOB ) and we did joint missions with the Marines also.On these 4 tours I detained/arrested countless Iraqee citizens and insurgents,kicked in countless doors on raids,had many fire-fights-some lasting 2/3 hrs,had rockets fly a couple feet over my head-I could feel the heat coming from the rocket's exhaust too. Sought shelter as car bombs went-off,some I only had a few minutes to run to a concrete barricade to seek protection. After the tours with the Texas Guard I signed on as a civilian contracter over-seas ( Iraq,Qatar,Kuwaitt & Afghanistan ) first as a mercenary,then logistics.We went to places the US military couldn't go and did things the US military couldn't do,so,if we got captured or killed the US wouldn't get blamed. I did business as a contracter/mercenary for 11 yrs & 3 months,been back in america for almost 2 yrs now and america is a hot-MESS. LOL.

(i know the name similarities make it funnier) from someone who grew up on the modern warfare series as a kid i immediately noticed the actor portraying Sanderson voiced sandman because they sound the exact same and even some things he has said in the movie im pretty sure he has said in the game. but yeah i just found it super fascinating lol.

    Two guys in my old Guard unit were part of the battle. One was a young Ranger with TF Ranger, and the other was part of the QRF that went in early the next morning. As far as the aftermath of battle goes, the Army implemented a number of changes to its TTPs and developed near equipment. They mandated the Combat Life Saver program and Ranger First Responder (RFR) program to provide medical training to troops. They also developed Ranger Body Armor (RBA) and prototypes for up-aromored HMMWV. Delta made some changes as well and started wearing ballistic helmets, as a number of their casualties were from head injuries. Prior to that they tended to favor plastic Pro-Tec helmets. The 160th also changed how they provide fire support. The stopped hovering near the target and increased standoff distance.

    25 grand in USD in early-90s Somalia was essentially "never work another day in your life, just buy a house and live with your family doing whatever you want" kind of money. Still not enough to convince many people to snitch on a tyrannical warlord like Aidid though, as it was pretty unlikely you'd live long enough to get paid, much less actually spend any of that money.

    4:47 well you see before this time in 70-80s Somalia was a communist powerhouse in region and thus received support from Soviet Union, add on in 1978-79 the Somalian government declared war on Ethiopia for the ogaden region (this region is full of ethic Somalians) and for a awhile they captured almost the entire region, so we sent support to Ethiopia due to them being an ally of the USA in the region.
    Half way through the war Ethiopia had a communist take over and we started supporting the Somalians but in the end they lost the war and the communist dictator fled the country leaving no in control of the country leading to the civil war you see in the movie.
    And you have to also understand that the “Somalian” identity is second to tribal identity so internal tribal warfare was constant and so adibbas people didnt see the others as “their” people but enemies and unfortunately still happens to this day

    Up to now, I'm still on the fence about whether to believe you or not when you say you're a "veteran". If you really were one, you wouldn't be asking how these terrorists get weapons. Nor would you be reacting the way you did in this video. You wouldn't be surprised at all at the things that happened in the movie.

    • @HDApex
      @HDApex 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are also some movie mistakes that a veteran can point out. When Blackburn was reporting to his command, should he be talking at parade rest?
      With doubts aside, what’s reactor’s story? Branch of service, MOS, active/reserve, years in. That’ll explain some of the inconsistencies.

      @@eatsmylifeYT A fraction of the audience are veterans, and I doubt that many cares too much about it. Those who served active duty can sniff out the ones who pretend and will ask questions to confirm their suspicions. We were held to a higher standard. We usually let them talk if they’re going to be an issue like discrediting the reputation of being in the service, or things like stolen valor. Whether or not that threshold is met for many vets, we’ll have to wait and see.

    I like the multiple templates of face + movie you got going on, probably helps to get around TH-cam's bs too. But it's weird when it results in you looking in different directions. Maybe just horizontal mirror any frame where your face is on the right, then you'd always be looking down and to the right.
    Anyway, just a note. Keep being awesome.

    I was in 1st Batt at this time, but injured so i couldn't go, broken ankle. The problem here is, we never should have went. This was a war started by CNN, and to push Clinton to do something, and make lots of news headlines and advertising dollars!! We were under UN controls, rules of engagement, and using mostly their backup for support. Another big problem here, mentioned early on, was we went in with no tanks, bradleys, armor, or ac/Spectre gunships, the UN and Clinton didnt want us to use them, thinking we would look too evil with that much firepower It was also pushed by CNN, to get all of Clintons bad news off the headlines, they were trying to make him look like a heroic and leader type competent president. Lots of young up and coming actors here. Phil from modern family, the medic who said, I'll whip up margaritas!... a young Tom Hardy ,Ewan McGregor and the guy who fell from the helicopter, Orlando Bloom. Banker/ Delta guy in the cult classic, Go! . A young Jeremy Piven as a pilot, in the cult classic, Smokin Aces! the guy who lived, ran for Congress last cycle, but lost. Delta guy cut in half also in last boy scout! Tom sizemore in Heat, Point Break, saving Private Ryan. The captain in The Patriot and Fury! Eric BANA in the hulk and lone survivor! The sergeant in the cult classic, Lucky Number Sleven! Some other good True type or True story movies are 13 hours, Lone Survivor, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were Soldiers, 1917, Big Red One, Hamburger Hill, Glory, American sniper, Saving Private Ryan, thin red line, Unbroken, Dunkirk. Also type in here maybe the greatest soldier of all time for a short video. Roy Benevides the Lazarus Soldier! th-cam.com/video/LoHNTyAR_Vg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ukBleSRiGkRgz_Cd I met him once in the early nineties when I was stationed at Bragg! The reason this movie is super accurate for who the guys were and the action is because Ridley Scott got the after action reports, the sitreps, and interviews the actual soldiers. U can see many shorts here, from the soldiers there, who retell what happened! Ironic...the main bad guy was the son of a well known terrorist, grew up and college education in America, decided to go back here and become a terrorist leader. . Also 1st gen hummers sucked. No AC, armor, bullet proof glass, or explosion vents. Ultimate pro tip....the pic the pilot holds up of his wife and child, is a mistake. The prop department didnt have one. So Eric BANA, who's family was with him, took a pic of themselves, and gave it to the pilot!😮😮. For those who don't think fired brass is hot.... I'm a Left handed shooter. All military rifles including A2s and A4s eject right side. I was in a location not here, wearing my helmet. Chinstrap on. Got a piece of brass ejected and stuck in my chinstrap. Left a burn scar on my lower right chin for almost 2 years! The run out at the end actually happened. I think the runners called it, The Miracle Mile, but it was more like 5 miles!😮😮😮. Yes, the militia stripped naked the two Delta soldiers, and paraded their bodies around. Still think all societies and customs and religions, are equal?
    Another big problem here, mentioned early on, was we went in with no tanks, bradleys, armor, or ac/Spectre gunships, the UN and Clinton didnt want us to use them, thinkiing we would look to evil with that much firepower We had Delta, Rangers, 10th Mountain, and SOAR pilots. Those guys fly in the most dangerous situations. They can land a craft on a postage stamp!

    They got the weapons because the Soviets/Russians and Chinese have been sending steady supplies of weapons and equipment since the late 40's. The USA and to a lesser extent the European powers, have been supplying them as well in a consistent arms supply race that continues up to the second that I'm typing this.
