Black Hawk Down

        War. Josh Hartnett & Ewan McGregor 2001

        A half hour mission that lasted fifteen hours. US military personal of the 90s hale this movie as having the most realistic combat scenes seen in a movie. One of the helicopter pilots states it is accurate. Comedy rating 0.38

        The opening scenes differ with additions and deletions compared to the book, shifting the political framework. Also  other facts differ in detail.

        Moral of the story:  It's easy to leave someone behind.
