Aidid and the U.S. Army Thunder Rolling

Look again. The original book is one of the 75 books recommended by Fortune Magazine, which is planned. The movie fails to explain the importance of the plan in detail, and there is no obvious characterization, so the movie narrative tries to recreate that event. The cruelty of war is well shown, but unfortunately the cruelty of killing is not shown much. 1,000 Somalis were killed and 19 American soldiers were killed. From the books I read recently, "A Hard Day" and "The No. 1 Sniper of the U.S. Army", it can be seen that the individual combat effectiveness of the U.S. military is strong.
The soundtrack is good, bleak. After watching the movie, I googled Aidid, the enemy of the US military, and was struck by lightning. Aidid's son was actually a US Marine.
