This movie shows the disastrous cost to lives and health of American
personnel sent mindlessly into Somalia to get involved in tribal feuds
there during the Clinton administrations tenure in fact. Graphic scenes
of cruelty being inflicted in ghastly attacks and related injuries while
on the ground. (Why not handle it all from the air for crissakes)
Interestingly, the American commander justifies the American
casualties saying 300,000 killed of the local inhabitants was seeming
like genocide being inflicted by the warlord the Americans were
targeting there for war crimes. Genocide? Where was that attitude
while a million Iraqi folks died from Bush led sanctions for crissakes!
British MP Sir George Galloway points that out as "infanticide
masquerading as policy" and is more rightly seen to be genocide as
ISIS replaced much of the human spirit on our TV screens of what we
see from there all too often.
