The ROE also include rescue helos. They had the same problem in Nam.

I can watch Black Hawk Down only about once a year now that I am a Blue Star Mom. To see this one I have to prepare myself, take a box of tissues and go alone. I just read that lavender really does help so maybe i’ll pack a bunch and sniff it during the movie. I’ll probably get arrested.

Prayers for the people who will be triggered.

The film is very violent and graphic. It attempts to show the real brutality of the battle the SEAL team found themselves in. At times you may just close your eyes because it is so difficult to witness. But, at the same time, it pays great tribute to those warriors who died that day. As well as educates on the battle culture our military resides in. It emphasizes the SEAL’s Brotherhood as well. But, you will need your tissues. I caught myself tearing up multiple times throughout the film.:(

Side note: The film makers changed some of the story to fit their vision for the film. Spoiler alert: the ending of the film didn't happen that way in reality, as well as a few other embellishments. But overall, they stayed very close to the actual story.
