The True Story of Blackhawk Down (2003)

"Real footage is shown to prove that the film Black Hawk Down (2001) was very true to the real events that occured in Mogadishu in 1993. Actual militia and US rangers are interviewed to tell us the different sides of the conflict when Somalia was under the power of Aidid." -imdb.com

I don't know why he quoted Winston Churchill's 'fight them on the beaches' speech. It's completely irrelevant to the situation in Somalia. Churchill was referring to a Nazi invasion and occupation of Britain, in that the British would never stop resisting the Nazis on British soil.
The author says "well this shows that if you kill a few of our guys we'll give up and go home", in relation to the speech. Clearly then it's a completely stupid comparison to draw because not only would the British not be able to 'go home' because they would already BE at home, but also the troops involved in Mogadishu were American, not British.
What he really should have said was "this shows that if you kill a few Americans then the US army will pack up and go home", as it is completely and utterly stupid to make a comparison between the British, Winston Churchills speech, and the American involvement in Somalia.

I seriously don't get it, can't you somalians just leave the corpses alone? Somalia is an untamed country. This video has nothing to do with ethopians. They have their own history. And no you're wrong. The U.S.A. does not proceed to kill anyone just for the joy of it. Ok? Why do you even like Mohammed farah aidid if he starves your own kind? I kind of agree with you there on the ethopian part though. You're lucky you moved to the U.S.A. Or have you? Somalia has lost the chance of surviving. The U.N. wanted to help but your warlord just had to destroy the U.N. peacekeeping force. Well, the U.S. can't help somalia now, they lost their chance of survival. And our government is not a "puppet government." I bet like 5 or 6 somalians would only be killed if you had rules and a civilized government. And i didn't like what the ethopians did to your relatives. "Peace in somalia please."

"Look at what your saying, You say "you" as if we are some kind of single entity, like me and my next door neighbors want nothing more than to invade all the oil rich county's of the world or intentionally stand and do nothing. The fact is most Americans are kept unaware of the worst of what our government is up to. You cant blame them for that. The world is a complicated place yet you speak as if things are as simple as black and white I wish it where but unfortunately it isn't. As for the the American's who do stand up, chances are you haven't heard about them because they are stamped out quickly and swept under the rug. It rarely makes the news so others wont take interest in the Truth. Our government learned just how powerful and threatening the media was to them during the Vietnam war so naturally they learned to influence it.
Tell me, just what are we mere civilians going do against the most powerful deceptive force on the planet?
You mention "puppet governments" do you think our government is much different? Its the major corporations that have the final say in our government. Does that sound like a true democracy to you?
A message to the rest of the world. Don't hate us for the select fews actions in the world, hate them. We're all just people like you, most of us are probably on the some page. "
