Black Hawk Down made the US military (and government) look like ****. You still implying it had the Pentagon's backing? And funding? Simply because one soldier was a PR nightmare?

Way to lose sight of the big picture. Movie was extremely well made with lots of awesome special FX, but if at the end of it you felt compelled to join the army..... well, you were pretty damn ****ed up years before the movie came out.

That movie, along with the other's I listed, completely destroyed the John Wayne "America, Gung-Ho" cliche forever.

Wanna watch propaganda? Check out "The Green Berets". Don't be drinking any soda during it. You might hurt your nostrils.
