If you have NOT seen it... you MUST see:
We Were Once Soldiers... with Mel Gibson.

ONE time with it, will completely raise your spirits as a soldier, a fighting man, or even just a red-blooded american.

INCREDIBLE... and accurate.
Black hawk down made me sick... I sat through it twice to try and make sure it was not only me that kept thinking, perhaps even saying "damn you clintong" from beginning to end.

I know what you mean about getting sick. It was just incredible how hard they had to fight because of losing the initiative. I did some reading on that disaster and the Rangers had to do a bunch of hand to hand fighting. Much of this could have been avoided if the proper armor had been allowed to be used. I cussed Klintoon and his “Meals on Wheels” use of the military. I am going to check out the movie you sugguested.
