Black Hawk Down

[Nemesis77]

Well, they FINALLY premiered the movie here in Finland... And I liked it! First movie by bruckheimer that's actually good!

There were also few people from the local Somali-community watching the movie. I would like to know what they thought about it.

But, what caught my eye was the wheeled pakistani APC's near the end. They were finnish XA-180's !

I just saw that movie also; great action scenes but the story is really depressing. Seeing a depiction of US troops getting caught by the short and curlies is not very uplifting.

AK-47s and RPG-7s are great equalizers for the short and curlies . Don't take much skill to use them.

the whole time watching the film, it was kind of hard to believe that this incident really happened. great movie though.

President Clinton helped a great deal by removing the AC-130 gunship and refused additional armor for the troops. See how smart our ex-President was?

 

[Passions]

I heard that whenever someone died, a guy in the audience would yell CLINTON!!

PUAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT's GREAT.

Clinton didn't believe in the Powell Doctrine
