The True Story of Black Hawk Down

This documentary analyzes the historical accuracy of the 2001 movie Black Hawk Down. The truth about those two fateful days in Mogadishu are more interesting then the fictionalized Hollywood version!

I watched way more than 3 minutes, and am still waiting for a bias.

The only bias is mine for wondering why we didn’t go in and make the city a parking lot.

Dave - the reason you American simpletons didn’t ‘make the city a parking lot’ is because you’d have cocked the whole operation up and accidentally built a swimming pool instead at a cost of billions of dollars… you’re a brainìdead, lumbering oaf of a nation, with all the wit of an comatose weasel…a parking lot!!!! Your military loses wars more frequently than it wins them (read a history book printed outside America) , and considering you only pick fights you assume you can win (and win easily) the fact that any little brown or yellow man from the four corners of the world with a bit of grit about him can show you hicks who’s boss, makes American history all the sweeter.

Wake up Dave…it’s only the good old US of A who believes its own hype…to the rest of the world you’re the boring drunk neighbour we have to tollerate at christmas but who secretly we all feel slightly sorry for because his lack of self awareness makes him almost a cripple. There he is with his socks and sandals, his USA jacket and baseball cap, shouting too loud for a man with nothing to say.

The Daves of this world are making America look even more stupid…Americans, hunt down your Daves and ask them nicely to lower their voices, pick up a book, put down the flag and take a deep breath. Jon Stewart can’t be the only American with an ounce of sense surely?????????? Is he your boldest and brightest? George Bush is a far truer representative of America than Obama….

A citizen of the world.

Well, if you don’t mind, I’ll put my two cents worth in. As a retired soldier who had boots on the ground in Mogadishu, Mr. Lockley, you are all wet. You don’t know your behind from a hole in the ground. Until you’ve walked a mile in my “boots” don’t pass judgments on something you know nothing about other then what you may have read in the paper or seen on TV. This documentary was very well done and tells about as much of the story as you can in an hour and a half. Mr. Angry Serb, sir, I respect your views and insight. The biggest problem, which was spelled out in the documentary, was the “Clintoon” White house. In the beginning Bush Sr sent in the Marines and the Army, to prevent food shipments from being stolen by the clans. That mission was turned over to the UN. when the Pakistani’s were killed, the UN cried and whined until Clinton sent in the rangers and Delta to get Ahdid. the rest as they say is history and covered in the documentary.
You have obviously deen smoking some good drugs, because your paranoid and think everything is a conspiricy.
