J Shepard

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."

Gary Ivan Gordon

Master Sergeant
Task Force Ranger
Medal of Honor Action Date: October 3, 1993

In 2008, I went to basic training to become a Combat MP and the week we started tactical movements, they showed us this movie in class. 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.

@Radonsider the comment is about BHD being the most realistic movie for capturing US tactics correctly. What's the problem with that? Heck I can't think of a single non-US movie that can capture combat and military life as accurately as BHD and Generation Kill.

Even The Matrix from 1999 looks modern. They won't ever age. You could watch these movies in a thousand years and they would still look just as new as when they first came out.

@Steven Steven Them? I referenced a single film and no, I didn't say anything about expecting Black Hawk Down to be in black and white. Where did you get that from? And yes, most people that were alive at the time can remember things from 20 years ago, is that your flex? And sorry but no again for Z, Gen Z are called Zoomers.

Because it’s a classic. Classic movies don’t age. I generally rate movies on 1-10 scale of quality and C or no C for classic. Blackhawk Down is about 8.5/10 and +C in my book.

They way they portrayed CAG operators in this movie is top notch. The little stuff like fist bumping (which shows how close the assaulters were). You can tell that the actors who played Delta were properly trained, little things like the way they move, the stance, weapons grip and always looking up for the windows in the alleyway (potential threat).

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. That was how I felt the first time I watched this movie.

The audio...while decent could have been a few steps better. Like on Saving Private Ryan. Better audio mixing in the film and on the BluRay/4k BluRay discs. Demo worthy. BHD not as...but a great movie nonetheless.

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

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.

@Angus McCulloch To have COURAGE is to be a hero in my eyes. To fight and possibly die next to a brother is a hero in my eyes. (which many did.) What these men did, went above and beyond what most can do. They deserve and earned the title hero. Some flip burgers and play Call of Duty while some serve our country and give their lives for an idea and love of what our country should stand for. bad policy or not, that doesn't erase their bravery

@Angus McCulloch Your talking to somone who served as a Navy FMF 8404 Corpsman 2002-2006 and did time with the Marines.. So disagree if you want but we DO indeed fight for our brothers besides us. As a Corpsman we run into gunfire to pull out an injured brother and try to save their life. Its literally the oath we take and something any Corpsman will do for a Marine. I take it you never served or else you would see how (no disrespect meant for you have been respectful to me) dumb your comment is about recruiter speeches and such. AND if you did serve than its 100% certain you have never been in the thick of it and seen combat. Maybe you were a Navy cook or a Yeoman or some support role behind a computer screen flying drones. I appreciate keeping the conversation respectful and its okay for people to disagree. All I can do is share my first hand experience with the military and who I see as heros. You are entitled your opinion friend. Take care and stay safe

JC Penny

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.

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

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.

@Angus McCulloch Definitely, all units involved in this operation were basically caught in a situation they were totally unprepared for. Once the first chopper was shot down they lost the initiative and the entire goal of the mission was changed.

shikiextend

2y↑14

@Angus McCulloch 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.

i like that the first sargeant is the only one here who is thinking: "this is some bad shit here we shouldn't be doing this". He knows the army is out of their depth and in a war situation without an actual war declaration. So everything that goes wrong will be held against the US and they wouldn't be able to use the really big stuff inside the city.

Ditto

Bro the last war we had a formal declaration of was World War 2

coen baan

@Ditto i guess, but you have congressional votes to shape the mission. In the case of Somalia congress voted for the military to secure safe areas for civilians and later to help establish a new government. I feel like this is the moment the sargeant realised they were in a true war situation without the normal resources and protocols that comes with an occupation mission. Thus increasing the military risk of the situation namely: fighting a more numerous enemy in their controlled area, no/less air support, increased civilian casualties and a confusing set of rules of engagement.

No doubt, I think they just did that to capture the trajectory on cameras. RPGs definitely don't move slow. Impact comes very fast.

Got to love Hollywood, where you have the little birds firing on the heavy gunner the little bird in the rear is firing whilst the lead little bird is still in the line of fire

@1:53 who the hell turns his back on a contact and just walks away like he’s invisible after a burst of fire impacts inches away from you.

Wtf ? When I was at MEPS they didn’t have movies playing. It was a very boring unhappy place

God MEPS was sooo long ago for me. All I remember of it was the boredoom and the medical crap. I dont recall movies ever playing at mine but this was 2002 so who knows

I went to MEPS in 2002. We watched Con Air.

It so fuzzeling to me that a pre-9/11 US Military supported movie that questions the validity of the mission is still the best piece of Army Porn to this day. Sometimes the stars just align...

@Jonathan Bui and the guys playing Rangers had to do Ranger school lol. The dichotomy was great

@Stefan lol. I'm not talking about the actual rappelling scenes during the movie. I'm talking about the actors preparing for the movie in the months before shooting it. I have the bonus edition dvd. I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about.

I was there (offshore, aboard one of the USN amphibs) when we first went in, and again (aboard a different ship) when we pulled the UN out. 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.

I remember reading somewhere that when they refer to the somalis as "skinnies", it's not a derogatory term. A "skinny" is one of the aliens that makes an appearance in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers which was required reading for the troops at the time. Hence they use the jargon from the book to refer to their current opponents

It was definitely a derogatory term

@ZIPPER maybe, but that is where it originates

@beezzarro Not true at all.

“Stay away from the walls”.

Damn straight. That’s legit advice for anyone fighting in an urban setting.

Yeah I was wondering. Is this for the sake of not catching concrete fragments or something else?

Worked with the Rangers who were in Somalia. I was in AIT when this happened. When we saw the guy get dragged though the streets. We all kicked down the wall lockers in anger. We had to be ordered to stop by our Drill Sgts. I worked at the ASP. (1994-1997) Phillips and Floyd would pick up ammo and hang out in my office and bullshit with me.

They just underestimated the situation . They just didn't know the enemy can stop there internal disputes and unit to fight outsiders. RPGs presented a major problem .

Fat Gouf

They requested AC-130 and heavy armor as support for the mission but was turned down. They knew shit'll hit the fan after they land but was ignored by higher ups.

Lonnie Weddington

I never understood why the 60 and 249 were together and on top of that left behind. Being an old grunt this would most definitely be a tactical faux pas.....other than that, excellent movie.
