The last conscience of the U.S. military

It is undeniable that the U.S. military’s tactics and strategy were wrong from the beginning. There is no aerial cover above, no mass base and armored tanks below, and a few Humvees and Black Hawk helicopters dare to go directly to the enemy’s lair to catch people. , It can only be said that the U.S. military was overconfident after the Gulf War

This movie was actually made very real. At that time, the U.S. military was still upholding the image of a just world policeman, but that was the last conscience of the U.S. emperor. From then on, the U.S. emperor was truly degraded, and the U.S. military was degraded.

    "In March 1994, following the complete withdrawal of the United States, one year later, the last batch of UN peacekeeping forces withdrew from Mogadishu, marking the end of a 27-month peacekeeping operation that cost more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. The United Nations handed over the fate of this country to its own people, which seemed to suit China’s appetite. However, the civil war lasted until 2004. In July 2011, half of Somalia’s population lacked food, and 75% of them were not safe to drink. Water, except for pirates, we rarely hear from them. "If you can't solve your own family affairs, is the intervention of outsiders justified? If it is based on internal and external agreement, it is fine; if it is unilaterally claiming "humanitarian relief", it is hard to say. In fact, it is not only between countries, but also between people: If others do not ask you to help, what is the meaning of helping you? Or it can be said that we are doing charity now, but they just blindly ask for money and food. What is the meaning of such charity? "Do you really think that if we catch General Aidid, we will lay down our weapons, accept American democracy, and stop killing?"

Black Hawk Down quotes

  • [after Hoot cuts in front of Blackburn in the line for food]

    Blackburn: Hey man, there's a line.

    "Hoot": I know.

    Blackburn: And this isn't the back of it.

    "Hoot": Yeah, I know.

  • Steele: Sergeant, what's the meaning of this?

    [Thinking he's talking about the unauthorized pig picking]

    "Hoot": Just a little aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave 'em behind.

    Steele: I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.

    "Hoot": This is my safety, sir.

    [He holds up his index finger and bends motions as if squeezing a trigger and then walks off]

    Sanderson: Let it alone, sir. He hasn't eaten in a few days.
