"...the belief that you can bomb a nation into peace and prosperity."

Japan and Germany come to mind. The movie also told of a famine because in the begining of the film you see warlords shooting people to get away from UN food drops. Why else would there be food drops?? hmmm??

"...even the crucial role played by Malaysian soldiers in the Rangers' rescue, have been excised from the record."

At the end of the film, it showed UN troops coming in and saving our special forces too.

The facts: The Malasian armored column did come in to rescue our guys, but they arrived far later than planned. Then they drove right by the very guys they came to save and our troops actually had to run after the tanks and APC's all the way back to safety. It's in the book.
