Maybe it's a deliberate mistake by the director

I guess the reason why the director deliberately replaced the crash locations of the Super-61 and Super-64 was probably a political compromise. The meaning expressed is that because the crash position of the Super-61 is not good, the rescue of the US military is difficult, and finally the rhythm of the entire mission is dragged down. In fact, it was the mistakes of the mid-level US military commanders that led to the high casualties of the entire mission. Judging from the actual crash location of the Super-61, the rescue at that time was not too difficult. Of the 8 Black Hawk helicopters, 2 crashed and 3 were seriously injured and forced to land at the base; 19 of 120 soldiers were killed and 70 injured. American soldiers are really not ordinary heroic and professional. The deliberate omissions in the film and the confession of the soldier at the end can actually better express the director's true emotions! In fact, the wrong mission is the decision-making error of the upper level, and the high casualties in the battle are the command error of the middle level. They all made mistakes, but they have to pay for the soldier's flesh and blood.

    Very good looking very burning war movie

    A pure war movie without a trace of superfluous elements, a very realistic and wonderful street fighting drama, once dumbfounded, the image of the tough guys of the male gods is unforgettable, even if the war will bring extremely tragic sacrifice and pain, for both sides All are the same, but objectively speaking, as long as human beings continue to multiply and divide, equating peace with eternity is basically an unrealistic and beautiful expectation. Only death can witness the complete end of war.
