Klinton didn't allow access to armor or apache gunship support during the Rangers, SEALs and Delta missions in Somalia either.

Blackhawk Down would have been a very boring movie had the troops been properly supported with tanks and apaches.

"Klinton didn't allow access to armor or apache gunship support during the Rangers, SEALs and Delta missions in Somalia either."

He did not provide it to the Marines either when we asked for armor specifically. That stupid decision was one of the first he had to make after taking office, but the don't ask, don't tell policy was much more important than whether we Jarheads needed armor. (see tagline)

Kinda like the movie CUJO if the protagonist had been the holder of a concealed weapons permit?

Scene ONE: Driver's car stalls and rabid dog jumps onto hood. Driver reaches behind hip and draws a .357 magnum revolver.

BANG....BANG....BANG!!!!
