What I didn't understand is why the door gunners on those UH-60's didn't just open up with the GE M143 miniguns. Those fuckers would level the shitty buildings. Also why didn't they have any serious air cover, like some Apache's.
Seems like they forgot the golden rule, "The more you use, the less you loose" -- ie, don't do something halfassed. If you're going to send troops in, send as many as possible with the best support possible to accomplish the job.
The movie makes Mogadishu seem like a city where everyone has an AK-47 and the desire to kill Americans. They cheered when the movie was shown in Somalia. Fuck it, next time, I say we let them starve. Let's take care of the US Citizens who don't have enough to eat.
If they had sent in AC-130H Spectre gunships like requested, well, they could have reduced to rubble all the buildings within small-arms range of the position they were trying to protect.
