Yeah, having read the book the movie was based on, they pretty much candy coated censored the black hawks going up and down the mob in the streets and indiscriminately mowing down hordes of women and children that were acting as human shields. That sort of thing doesn't look heroic in Hollywood. Way easier for an audience to digest a bunch of dark skinned people wearing towels on their heads shooting Ak-47s getting blown to bits.
