I thought they were Army Rangers that had all the problems in that incident. |

Actually, Army and Delta operators were involved.
Read the book and cry like the rest of us. |

LongIslandShooter...
Black Hawk Down is one of the best books ever writtten detailing a battle on a minute to minute basis. It details both the savagery of battle as well as the relationships between men of arms during battle. Over the years I have read and reread the book several times. Of note is that another great book on battle has been made into a movie to be released in the spring. "We Were Soldiers Once And Young" is another book with the same vivid detail and minute to minute chronology of a battle. It is another good book that I have reread several times. Each reading still gives me the chills. Aloha, Wabi |

Quoted: I just read a review of Black Hawk Down in Newsday. The reviewer was going on about how it's a racist movie because the Somolians were portrayed as faceless mobs that were being slaughtered, and that they might get there "feelings" hurt. Doesn't he realize that this is a true story and chronicles what really happened? 18 Rangers died, and many others were wounded, and he's worried about the Somolians "feelings". This is typical bull $hit from these touchy feely USA liberals. If Al Gore/Bill Clinton would be in charge at the moment, we/they would still be negoiating the handover of Bin Laden etc. |

Here's a good review of the movie, forget the other limp-wristed variety:

I want to know why the writer of the Newsday review brought up Somalians being PO'ed because of Galdiator and Pearl Harbor? All three movies are based on actual events (though Gladiator is far removed from the truth which it was based upon). Did you see a single Somalian in Pearl Harbor? I didn't.
