Blackhawk Down

[K@mpso]

Only saw this film for the first time over the weekend and it seemed to really show up the US OIC in Somalia during that operation.

But how accurate an account was it of the actual incident? It seemed that there more than 19 US personnel killed in the film yet at the end the names were listed.

accuracy and theatrical entertainment do not go hand in hand. Tune to the history channel if you want accuracy.

good film all the same if you just watch it, without thinking to much about it.

good movie but still more idiotic yanki c r a p!
if you want a good film. wind talkers! now thats good.
another one is dog soldiers.

Dog Soldiers? is that the one about frinkin werewolves? sounds like a good war movie!

Personally i thought Black Hawk Down was an excellent show, pulled no punches on the blood and guts, and i nearly shed a tear at the scene were the guy's torso gets shoveled into a body bag.

They can do if handled correctly.

I suppose the 1,000 Somalians the murdering idiots killed ment nothing to you. Only in America could you make Patriots of 19 men who were killed during the genocide of 1,000 people. Whats next? A tear jerking film about poor German guards killed during escapes from concentration camps?


You just know the world is a dark place when a few thousand Somalia's are considered the "victims" when they are killed while trying to murder UN peace keepers whose goal is to make their lives better by removing an evil warlord.


God what is this crap?

I mean really, what the hell are you on!?

Take your political rhetoric to the CA forum, or to some student union haunt where it belongs...

Don't worry Stilger - this muppet never manages to see the whole picture.

No doubt they were all innocent civilians on their way home for tea after a hard days work. Mr Scott was certainly responsible for more poetic licence than I at first gave him credit for.

They are white they wear red white and blue so shooting 1,000 black muslims is perfectly ok.

Ah I see, so if foreign troops land in your city armed to the teeth your supposed to sit back and let them get on with it? I cannot believe the bullshit your coming out with. That 1,000 included old people, women, children and of course troops trying to protect their people from foreign murderers. Never underestimate the ignorance and bigotry of an Ulster Protestant.
They are white they wear red white and blue so shooting 1,000 black muslims is perfectly ok. After all, they don't wear uniforms so their nothing but terrorists. Even the women and children are just more bad seeds to grow.

Ask yourselves why every single country around the world condemed the attrocity? Obviously apart from Paisleyovakia.

You sicken me.

You gotta laugh at the mods to even allow this, surely the topic is about the Black Hawk Down film and not insulting someone from Northern Ireland because of their religion?

[K@mpso]

Don't worry ourkid - ols SARA has clearly gone off her rocker. It appears that he is more interested in making yet another wildly inaccurate political point while of course remaining on the side of those involved in terrorism.

No surprise at all.
