My dad fought in this battle with the 10th mountain division. He would watch this movie at least once a month. I would sit with him but most of the time I was watching him instead of the movie. Even at a young age I could see that a part of him was still fighting this battle, that he was forever in Somalia. He died from COVID in Dec 21 and never really healed the scars he got in Mogadishu. I hope that wherever he is he can finally rest and enjoy a few cold ones with the brothers he lost along the way. RIP

@@ammarabbas7691 On 3 December 1992, the division headquarters was designated as the headquarters for all Army Forces (ARFOR) of the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) for Operation Restore Hope. Major General Steven L. Arnold, the division Commander, was named Army Forces commander. The 10th Mountain Division's mission was to secure major cities and roads to provide safe passage of relief supplies to the Somali population suffering from the effects of the Somali Civil War.[72] Due to 10th Mountain Division efforts, humanitarian agencies declared an end to the food emergency and factional fighting decreased.[73] When Task Force Ranger and the SAR team were pinned down during a raid in what later became known as the Battle of Mogadishu, the 10th Mountain Division provided infantry for the UN quick reaction force sent to rescue them. The 10th Mountain Division had two soldiers killed in the fighting, which was the longest sustained firefight by regular US Army forces since the Vietnam War.[48] The division began a gradual reduction of forces in Somalia in February 1994, until the last soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry returned to the United States in March 1994. *The Pakistanis provided the heavy armor but it was the elite 10th Mountain who provided infantry support in this UN led coalition QRF. 10th mountain lost two soldiers during the role they served as QRF. They are based out of Fort Drum in New York State, a few hours from where I grew up. They aren't considered SF like the 75th Rangers or CAG but rather a Tier 3 Conventional Forces unit that can be called in to support Special Forces. And also... It is often believed that the soldiers involved in the Mogadishu Mile had to run all the way to the Mogadiscio Stadium, as it was shown in the 2001 film Black Hawk Down. However, in that scene the filmmakers took artistic license and dramatized the event, departing from the original Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War book by Mark Bowden. In the film, the Mogadishu Mile ends with about a dozen soldiers entering the Mogadishu Stadium having run all the way through the city. In the book, it ends with soldiers reaching a rendezvous point on National Street (in opposite direction to the stadium): "As he approached the intersection of Hawlwadig Road and National Street, about five blocks south of the Olympic Hotel, he saw a tank and the line of APCs and Humvees and a mass of men in desert battle dress. He ran until he collapsed, with joy."[2] Not only the Rangers and Delta Force soldiers made the Mogadishu Mile, but also soldiers from U.S. 10th Mountain Division alongside them: "We didn't ride off the crash site. We didn't run out. We walked expediently in a tactical formation for about a mile to get to an awaiting convoy." On the whole, the film version where the convoy leaves the soldiers running through the city alone does not correspond to the real event: "No one ran out of the city. The Mog mile was to a rally point where the Pakistani tanks and the vehicles from 10th Mountain were, waiting to take the men of TFR out to the Pakistani stadium." "These APCs were headed back about 800 meters to a strongpoint where reserve element has stayed behind with the tanks, and the plan was to move the wounded via the vehicles and the healthy by foot back to the strongpoint. That's exactly what happened. That, in all its non-dramatic form, is the so-called "Mogadishu mile"..." @GregBerg76 I'm sorry for your loss, your father sounds like the real deal.

We were told it's the most realistic modern military movie when it comes to tactical movements and formations. Reason why? they had veterans from Delta Force and Rangers teaching the actors how to properly look like soldiers. Pretty bad ass.

Shughart actually died first. Excerpt of Medal of Honor citation: "Despite the fact that he was critically low on ammunition he provided some of it to the dazed pilot and then radioed for help. M/Sgt. Gordon continued to travel the perimeter, protecting the downed crew. After his team member was fatally wounded, and his own rifle ammunition exhausted, M/Sgt. Gordon returned to the wreckage, recovering a rifle with the last five rounds of ammunition and gave it to the pilot with the words "Good Luck." Then, armed only with his pistol, MSgt. Gordon continued to fight until he was fatally wounded. His actions saved the pilot's life. M/Sgt. Gordon's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest standards of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army."

Love the portrayal of Delta in this scene, "Sarge, are you receiving me?!" followed by a casual "Yeah, I heard you." A typical response would've been "Yes, sir." But obviously Delta isn't conventional army and from what I've heard, they're a lot more relaxed when it comes to standard military practices like uniforms and mannerisms. From what I've read in the BHD book, a lot of them don't even refer to each other by rank but by last names or nicknames, which I think makes unit cohesion and morale way better. The fist bump was a nice little addition, it's clear that it's a NCO fist bumping a CO but it's still nice that they have that interaction.

So well done. They captured that sense of mahem. Being trapped literally in the middle of a war. You never (in other war films) get the sense the wear is going on around the soldiers. A sense of hopelessness . In other films the action is in front of you all the time. With the odd helicopter or jet fly over. But not like this. You're almost claustrophobic.

I'm not a book guy but the book far exceeds the movie. The author was invited to speak at some military thing. They asked the author his clearance level and he said "I'm the enemy, I'm a journalist". He did not have the security clearance to talk at that site. So they moved it across the street. Much of the dialog are direct quotes, either from the actual recordings of the AWACS plane above or from his personal interviews. WOW

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure Grimes and General Kenobi are the same guy.

On the other hand, this accusation further substantiates the Empire's charge that the Jedi are a dangerous cult of religious fanatics whose questionable practice of adopting younglings hides sinister motives.

I can’t remember where I heard this, but as much as we value our soldiers, it also became the U.S’s most crippling war doctrine. It meant that by having such high expectations when it came to casualties, it sent a message to our enemies that all they had to do was kill a few of our guys and we as a whole would run away.

Fun fact : MALBATT Misi Bakara is sequel for this film, based on true story in Somalia 1991 about Black Hawk Down.

Delta guy: Stay away from the wall. Every FPS gamer: Seriously?

Jason Isaacs nailed this movie so hard

Movie: *shows violence Man: "We need to haul ***"

On October 3, 1993, a special operations unit from the US Ranger and Delta Forces headed into central Mogadishu, Somalia, to capture three rebel leaders. The mission was thought to be relatively simple, but when two American Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, the mission took a disastrous turn for the worse. By the time the sun set over Somalia the next day, a total of 18 Americans had been killed and 73 wounded. American helicopter pilot Michael Durant was captured, and hundreds of Somali civilians died in what became known as the Battle of Mogadishu!

The real life accounts of what happened are even more harrowing and heroic than this film. The soldiers who after making it back safely through the hell of all that fire, and willingly drove back out into it to rescue others, are incredible in their act of selfless courage. They are all heroes.

"hey Grimes, stay away from the wall," the way thats said so casually and cool is kinda chilling given the situation.

This and Jarhead and my favorite modern day war movies!

Something that really works for me in this film, and shows how well shot it is, is that they constantly use camera shots to show how boxed in they are and how enemies are coming at them from all directions. The other is that the firefights aren't just cases of the bad guys blazing away and the good guys shooting with perfect accuracy - everyone is blazing, it's chaotic and hits are not guaranteed even at relatively close ranges which really sells the intensity, realism and under siege feel of the film for me.

I don't know who did the sound design for this film, but that BRAWWWWWRRRRRRR sound the helicopters make when they open fire is AWESOME.

William Fitchner! Master class actor.

Love the Mini guns on the Helios

What's really cool is that Sanderson is a Delta Force operator and his actor (William Fichtner) also voices Sandman from MW3, who is also a Delta Force operator

Total clusterfuck from start to finish; we should never have gone into Somalia in the first place. An ill-defined mission, based on faulty intel, that was made worse by constant (and needless) mission creep, that benefitted no one.

Capt. Steele was a prima dona and an idiot. In this type of situation, fire and maneuver is paramount to survival. What Steele did created another rescue extraction. He wouldn’t take advice from a delta operator with more combat experience because he didn’t like delta operators and his ego balked at taking instruction from a man of lower rank.

Why did the Delta guy told him that he (and his Ranger chalks) should be going back to the base with the prisoners? It seems like he might have been right because the Rangers that went to the crash site endured a lot of wounded and casualties. Still, I doubt the Delta guys could hold off the growing crowd either.

Didn't really have much else of a choice. They were completely surrounded with many wounded, running out of ammo and it was night time in the dead center of the city. Splitting up and trying to retreat back to base at that point would have been a death sentence.

@Pat4ever.

No, it was incorrect because the Deltas (as apparent later on) could move much faster to get to the crash site and secure it before the city came on top of them, rather than be bogged down with the convoy which ended up hitting roadblock after roadblock. And then Steele later insisted his Rangers stay with Delta Force which further bogged down the rescue operation.

“Stay away from the walls”. Damn straight. That’s legit advice for anyone fighting in an urban setting.

Actually, the movie shows that the NCOs plan was shit and resulted in the entire unit becoming combat ineffective. This idea that officers don't know shit is fine for enlisted guys sitting around bitching, but to pretend these NCOs correctly diagnosed the situation is simply laughable. In the real battle, everyone got their asses kicked due to bad tactics, route planning, training, etc. Even your precious NCOs.

@@angusmcculloch6653 Sanderson's plan was for his small team of Deltas to quickly move to the crash site on their own, before the enemy could consolidate. Steele's plan was for the entire ground forces to move together, the subtitles are wrong here, he actually says "WE'LL proceed to to the crash site together." Which is what they start out doing... But moving the entire group together slowed down their advance. And lead to the militia forces to converge on them. Which then lead to them getting bogged down and taking multiple casualties and stuck in place. And then the kicker, the Deltas (and Grimes) end up going on their own anyway... _which is what Sanderson wanted to do in the first place._ But now, they had heavier resistance to contend with because the militia had time to move into position. *_tldr:_** Delta SGT wanted to move quickly, Ranger CPT wanted to move in a group.*
