    Don't forget, people thought Black Hawk Down was a great movie- I read the book and served with a few guys who were there (not for the whole ordeal, just the 10th MTN parts) and there is a huge difference between what really happened and what the movie portrayed.

    I see movies to be entertained. I didn't read Black Hawk Down, nor do I care if it was historically accurate. There are documentaries for the movies-must-be-historically-accurate crowd, -I'm not a member there.

    That's what I have to remind family and friends of... If I want to be entertained, yeah, I'll throw in the DVD. If I want to know what really happened, I'm sure there are documentaries out there (speaking on BHD- there's one that's great: "The True Story Of Black Hawk Down"), or I'll go search up what I can and do some actual research.
