The two Delta Force snipers that went to the second crash site both received the Medal of Honor.

The "less strict hierarchy" you mentioned was only true of those few Delta Force guys, the ones with black helmets. They are the most elite, most highly trained soldiers in the entire Army, even more so than Special Forces. They are actually the most disciplined soldiers there are, but that doesn't apply to things like haircuts and shaves. They also can each choose the weapons they most prefer and are given carte blanche in many respects that no other soldiers get. They are literally the very best of the best and their training is incredibly tough. The younger guys, the Rangers, were in awe of them.

We were soldiers is a Great War film about Vietnam, definitely Worth a watch.

Where's the rescue squad? "We're it." Absolute respect for Shughart and Gordon.

Great reaction! Here's another one for your consideration: 13 Hours (2016) is also based on a true story, in this case about an attack on a lightly-defended diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya that happened in 2012. More than a few similarities with Black Hawk Down.

This is the movie that inspired me to enlist. Hands down one of if not the best war movie.

This happened, 1 year and a month after I left the Army, I remember seeing this on the news, and my warrior brain, kicking back in, and wanting to go back, I remember seeing them dragging the pilot through the street!! And the anger I felt!!! And I still feel it to this day, thank you for watching this and reacting to it, take care.

Love your reactions. I couldn't watch this video as I lost a brother there. But I checked out your reaction at the end. I think the reason you find so many nice people to your reactions is one they are genuine, 2 the Marines I served with we fought so people with good pure hearts would hopefully never have to know what war is. We live by a warrior's code, stand behind us and we protect you, stand beside us and we respect you, attack us and we show no mercy to protect those behind us. It's those pure souls back home we fight for. You make us brave. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC

I highly recommend Band of Brothers produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. This series tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, this 10-part series chronicles the experiences of these young men during WW2. Based on the book written by Stephen Ambrose.

another great reaction!!! I'm actually surprised you didn't cry more than you did...I guess the chaotic, constant action didn't leave room for it....There are some videos online with interviews from some of the soldiers that fought in the Battle....as scary as this movie portrays it, hearing their accounts make it seem even scarier....One of them was from Jeff Struecker, he drove the Humvee in and out that day. He said in the morning when they were leaving, all the streets were covered in brass from shell casings...that the sun was shining off of them and you couldn't see the road underneath....its incredible the amount of constant fire those men came under....

Great reaction, as usual, Jade! As a Veteran myself, I want to say thanks to all the veterans, current service men and women and to their families. Blessings to all.

It's normally really hard to take down helicopters with RPGs, but when two went down, that was the end of any plans and contingencies they had. That's how war is sometimes: always SNAFU and sometimes it goes all the way to FUBAR. Ironically, the actual operation to capture a bunch of people involved with Aidid succeeded without a hitch, but then because of the Black Hawks going down, no one could get out of there quickly, as planned, and eventually everyone got shot up. Considering the intensity of the situation and how badly outnumbered the Rangers and Delta Force were, it's amazing that as few died as it was. No doubt this was due in part to the air support they received, but it was air support that helped cause the problem in the first place.

I was in Mogadishu at the time, and the film only covers the events of that day, not days later, because, as I recall, the war continued and other nations, including Italy, Malaysia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Belgium, and others, lost soldiers, in any case, is a fantastic film, and we are grateful for the United States' contributions to Somalia.

When talking about the hierarchy, it's important to understand you have two different groups of soldiers in this movie: Army Rangers and CAG (Delta). The CAG team is a much smaller unit with their own chain of command outside of the Ranger chain of command. CAG is what is considered a Tier 1 special operations unit and is considered one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. The Army Rangers are a Tier 2 element, so are more highly trained than your standard Army infantry, but also a lot closer to structure as standard Army as opposed to how Delta operates. You have to first be in a unit like the Rangers, Green Berets, or other special forces units to even get the chance to join. This is, of course, an oversimplification of both these units. I'm fairly certain there were a few SEALs out there during the Battle of Mogadishu, but they aren't in the movie. This movie does a great job of showing you how those two units work together. One of the many things Army Rangers do is support Tier1 units like Delta as they are running their opps. Delta goes after the high value targets, and the Rangers are there to provide the perimeter security.

I was in high school, in history class when the showed the two Delta Snipers being dragged out naked by the neck. It is to this day one of the most brutal things I've seen and it was in school. Everything in school stopped...it was awful. They sent those guys in but never gave them a full compliment of support. Those guys deserved better....it's a miracle it wasn't worse than it was.

That phone message was the last time she heard his voice. He died in the battle, and was awarded the Medal of Honor, postumously.

Ridley Scott is a genius. So much truth in one movie.

Knew two men who were in Mogadishu at that time. One, a pretty good friend who was not involved in the raid, watched events from the roof top of his post. The other, who I knew only in passing and from the odd casual conversation, was the guy represented by the Sanderson (not his real name). We were in the same unit before he went to Delta. Both good guys. I only found out from a mutual associate, years after the event, that X was the model for Sanderson. I don't think about them in specifically while watching the movie, but it is a disturbing reminder of what can happen to young soldiers just trying to do their job while politicians fumble around defining missions and goals.

"This is my safety, sir." The Captain is a Ranger. The other guy, Eric Bana, is a Delta. The Deltas have a different chain of command. That is why Bana feels free to ignore the order.

I'm sure plenty of people have already recommended things like Band of Brothers and The Pacific, which are both fantastic and I also heartily recommend. But I'd like to suggest Generation Kill, as well. It's set during the 04 invasion of Iraq, and shows a great example of what modern soldiers are like and modern war is like, with all the cynicism and absurdism that entails, and I think can resonate more with modern viewers since the cultural similarities are deeper.

I was in the army during this and was on alert to be deployed there.

15:17 that's the pilot who did the same rescue in real life. The army send the 160th SOAR (Special Operations Air Regiment) to help making the movie. So he was asked if he would portrait himself in the movie, and he did 15:48 6 weeks before his retirement from the army. He served since the Vietnam war 24:48 His dead, is the reason, why the book was written (the author promised his parents, he would find out, how he died), which the film is based on Info's from the DVD audio commentary

If you haven’t seen Inglorious Bastards(Tarentino) ..it’s wild 😜 and kinda fits the theme. Also a more serious film 1917 is worth a watch. Jade…guess what? Your wonderful and that’s why we’re here! 😊

Such a good movie, of course, a Ridley Scott movie! This movie was put together from actual testimony and after action reports of the soldiers, and any eye witnesses. I was in the 82nd airborne, 25th light, and 1st Ranger batt. This happened when I was out of active duty. So when I first saw this, specially about the Rangers, it hit home pretty hard.

I recommended Tears of the Sun a fortnight ago, so I hope that it made your schedule, although I’m sure there’s going to be a long wait. Which is cool. There’s no rush. I’ve been watching a fair few of your videos lately and it’s great to see you connect to the movie or show you’re watching as much as you do. Most KZfaq channels don’t react to my favourite movies so I comment, recommend and suggest as much as I can. So when someone does see one of my favourites for the first time, it’s almost as if I’m watching it for the first time again, if that makes sense. Thanks if you read this and G’day from Victoria 🇦🇺

Politics gets you into a war, orders gets you into a battle, but to fight, you fight so that the soldier next to you makes it home.

Hey Joob, I love your channel, it means so much to me as a U.S. veteran to see you doing these video reactions to movies about events that actually happened and letting the story of me and my brothers get told. If I could, I would so give you the biggest hug ever.

Flat out the best reaction to this movie I have seen. Every time I watch this it brings me straight back to when we saw the pilot being body surfed on the news. All of us in the unit I was in were pissed. I have to admit, the comment “good tactic, that’s a really good tactic”, had me crying in laughter due to the fact that unless someone is or has been in the military, they don’t know the amount of “adapt and overcome” that goes on in an average day, much less combat.

great reaction. Some War Films which I think are very good and worth checking out are Patton (WW2) and Hamburger Hill (Vietnam)

The civil war wasn't about religion since virtually everyone in Somalia is Sunni Muslim. Rather, it was about warring clans: Somalia is a traditionally pastoral society and clans have often feuded. During the Cold War, both the Soviets and the Americans flooded the country with weapons vying for control of the government and, after the collapse of a communist central government, what were once relatively small feuds spiralled into civil war. Like so many clan-based societies (think Iraq and Afghanistan), it's difficult to generate an effective central government in Somalia that's not rather tyrannical and corrupt when people have loyalties split between both clans and the nation-state. You'll notice a distinct correlation in human societies between strong yet democratic central governments and the existence of small (typically) nuclear families. Smaller families don't guarantee better governments but they may be a prerequisite.

Wow! I love watching your reactions to these films. War or humorous you make it so interesting and touching. I enjoy watching all your reactions; insightful, sad, humorous and Witty - you’re amazing. As a veteran of war, I am especially touched by your sensitivity to the terrible things going on. I look forward to seeing more.

That guy who didn't plan on getting shot in the back...gets shot in the back later. In hindsight, he probably should have worn both plates that day, like Grimes elected to do. Good job, Grimes.

The pilot who survived became a chaplain.. he came to speak with us when I was in basic..... you can tell that still fucks with him

The helicopter crews were from the 160th SOAR, best of the best, it was found during the investigation of the first crash that the pilots managed to intentionally pitch the nose of the helicopter downwards during the crash so they would receive the brunt of the impact, killing themselves but saving the men in the back.

First time watching your reaction and you are a doll. I love your hair and ur voice and your smile. This movie was actually filmed by mimicking live recordings that's why all the shots are surreal. Keep the reactions coming love. Kisses. Muah

All-star cast. Some before they were anybody famous. EXCELLENT accents considering most of the cast were Brit or Aussies. Great period piece. That was almost spot-on with gear and vehicles of the time. My oldest friend was there BEFORE this fiasco with CH-53Ds. I was in the SPMAGTF that went in AFTER this and helped remove the UN equipment with CH-53Es. The opinions on this "occupation" vary but if you weren't there, your opinion doesn't carry much weight either way to those that were. This was just a warm-up for us for the next decade.

This was all part of a United Nations operation, so not a war in its essence. US units involved were the 75th Rangers, Delta Force and 160th SOAR. The entire mission was to capture two of Aidad's advisors to gather intelligence as to his whereabouts so he could be removed and the genocide ended. And one miscalculation lead to the entire Somali militia in Mogadishu coming down on them.

Also a cool fact that almost no one knows about. Seal Team 6 members were their to giving sniper cover fire and one of them had to bribe a fisherman to get off the land and get back to safety. They also got medals.

I remember as a teen when these events happened. They showed the 2 snipers' bodies dragged in the streets on the evening news.

The guys who came in (went back in) with night vision gear had already been out on the original mission. You might be able to recognize Hoot, who is played by Eric Bana. Reinforcements would only come later in the APCs for extraction, once the Pakistani general we were allied with (he was in charge of the UN contingent at the time) finally decided to do something.

So historical context: in 1969 Mohammad Siad Barre became dictator of Somalia, and his regime ruled until 1991. They were communists who were supported by the Soviet Union, the communist regime of Ethiopia, and the Egyptian government. With the global collapse of communism, various clans (the Hawiye, Ogaden) rose up in rebellion. As the government collapsed there were only clans and warlords to extend power- and Somalia basically existed in a state of anarchy from 1991 to 1996. The famine was so great as to trigger an international UN intervention; however after the events of the Battle of Mogadishu (which this movie depicts), President Clinton withdrew combat forces. Eventually, piracy and terrorism from groups like Al-Shahab forced an invasion from Ethiopia and supported internationally, which has since established a new government in Somalia. Some of the consequences of this: the events of the Battle of Mogadishu were a factor in American/European reluctance to later intervention in the Rwandan genocide and the Congolese civil war; and the Somalian diaspora has produced such notable individuals as international pop star The Weeknd and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

one of my fav action movies ! thank u for reaction Jade !

20:20 This is one of the true true things that happened. Two snipers went to secure a hot zone for their black hawk crew. Yes they died.

They mention in the beginning that Aidid waited until after the US Marines left the country, then declared war on the remaining peacekeepers. They didn't mention why: his son was serving with the US Marines at the time, and was one of the Marines deployed to Somalia as part of that mission (apparently he was the only member of the US Marine Corps fluent in the local language at that time). The movie mostly accurately portrays the battle, with the exception of completely ignoring the events that led up to the hatred against the UN (and especially American) personnel in the weeks prior to this mission. Several of the characters in the film were amalgamations of numerous actual soldiers and some creative liberties were taken to ramp up the "OORAH" aspect a bit, but still pretty much follows the book. Said book, of the same name and by Mark Robert Bowden, is the definitive source for accurate information about what came to be known as The Battle of Mogadishu. You made an observation near the beginning about how things were more lax within the units than in the past--that's not entirely true. Soldiers _always_ goof around during down time between missions; remember that these are mostly just twentysomething young men full of confidence and testosterone, they're gonna mess around. You also need to understand that these particular soldiers are members of elite US military units: the majority are Army Rangers, trained above & beyond the normal standards in the US Army, while the special forces guys (members of Delta Force and Navy S.E.A.L.s) are several steps above even that. It actually was an issue during the real mission, as the special forces troops largely ignored military rank within their units, instead focusing on experience; they were (and are) also immune from normal military regulations regarding facial hair & hair length, and are permitted to choose what equipment & weapons they bring into combat vs. using what the regular Army does.

I remember hearing about Capt Steele when I got to Ft Campbell in '05. By then, he was 3rd Brigade (Rakkasans) Commander Lt Col Steele, and every Thursday, his soldiers would run the "Mogadishu Mile" in full battle gear, to commemorate the run him and his Rangers had to make to get back to the stadium, seen at the end of the movie. Hell of a way to train! My brigade did something similar.

Delta operators are typically blend in, deeper cover and reconnaissance guys, usually just 1, 2, or a handful of guys, working at a time. Usually not in any uniform, or even looking military. In the field, they mostly don't have a command structure, or answer to higher-ups.

The “civil war” was just a power struggle between a lot of political groups and clan based factions. Unfortunately many victims were the civilians in the struggle. UN and US forces tried to remove a major faction, Aidids , but it was taking toll and time was short. Eventually they withdrew. The conflict is still ongoing but it’s slowed down with talks and Covid.

You are one of my favorite creators. I'm happy to hear that the majority of comments you get are supportive. Platoon and Casualties of War are both good Vietnam war movies. Warning, casualties of war is very hard to watch.

The chopper pilots for units like this are crazy good pilots and pretty much the craziest people in earth! They maneuver helicopters like they're grocery carts!

The running back to the stadium was later called, “The Mogadishu Mile”

If you like reading, I highly recommend in the company of heroes. It’s the story of Michael Durant (the pilot that the 2 deltas tried to save) and his time in captivity after this mission. That battle at the crash site was way more gruesome and somber than they show in the film and he talks about it.

Well, here in this movie the Delta Force (part of the Special Forces) are presented as being "cowboys" or wildcards who don't have a proper respect for authority. It's probably exaggerated for effect. Even the guys in regular uniforms and ballistic helmets are Rangers, who these days are part of Special Forces, too, and sometimes support Delta Force (the guys weaking little hockey helmets) on missions like this. By the way, the Delta guys wear those little helmets because they provide better protection against blows to the head, since their primary job is close-quarters combat and grabbing prisoners and such. Unfortunately, this sacrifices ballistic protection from explosions that the regular helmets (worn by the Rangers) provide. The ballistic helmets don't protect well at all against blows to the head, which is why this trade-off is made.

Takes some BALLS to confront a well equipped Military merely in Sandals and Shorts just armed with an AK-47.

Another one of my favorites. This one hits you right in the feels.

I enlisted in July of '93. I was still in training when this went down. When we heard of this happening on October 3rd, everyone on post went apeshit. Understandably, our NCO's were pissed, to say the least.

The security guard at my school I graduated from was in the marines he was there a month before this happened

As a veteran myself I thank you for watching and reacting to this film. I highly recommend you watch these next: 13 hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi Zero Dark Thirty American Sniper The Outpost 12 Strong

Great movie choice! Extra kudos because of its awesome OST as well.

Tier-1 is Delta Force one of the Special Mission Unit of JSOC of the United States Army. Tier-2 is the 75th Ranger Regiment, the U.S. Army's Specialized Light Infantry.

14:47 A child that just tried to kill him though......

Jade I always enjoy coming in and getting to embark on a film and television journey with you. By far you are my go to person when going on reaction videos. You are absolutely gorgeous. A war film recommendation from me is that of Full Metal Jacket

Great reaction, this movie was the first and only acknowledgement of D boys. Dept. Of Defense advised in the making of the movie.

The reason why that SFC Norm was able to disrespect Captain Steele with his "This is my safety, sir" while flexing his finger, is that Special Forces soldiers don't have to follow standard chain of command like other soldiers. The other guy, even being an officer, does not have the ability to tell the SF soldier what to do.

Great reaction. Another True story movie is - The Great Escape, from 1963 staring Steve McQueen. It's more light hearted movie, no gore. And it is about WW2 and actual events.

16:43 She is starting to understand boys.

19 : 1,000+, pretty insane K/D rate.

The term "skinny" is a reference to an alien race in the novel Starship Troopers

Also Jade I would recommend the movie Zero Dark 30. :)

When a child tries to kill you, they cease being a child. That's the reality. He was obviously old enough to take part in the fight and was willing to do so. The only reason he didn't kill the soldier was because he slipped and if given a second chance would try again.

hello @movieJoob loved the reaction, like all others also i watched so far. you do very well here. just wanted to point out some of the kind of familiar faces in this movie, which ist one of my favorite war films .... in the case you did not noticed "Blackbourne" who fell out of the helicopter was played by not anybody less than orlando bloom aka Legolas in LotR "twombly" was played by tom hardy / Bane in the dark knight rises "john grimes", the soldier who was making coffee all the time was played by evan mcgregor or should i call him Jedi master Obi wan Kenobi in the star wars prequel trilogy ( it is still outstanding for me to see, how young he looks in the movie, compared to Star wars episodes 1,2 and 3 or star wars Kenobi ) "Jeff sanderson" one of the seals from the delta force, played by William fichtner! if you remember the raid of the joker in the dark knight, he was the bank manager with the short shot gun, who got the smoke stick in his mouth by the joker "captain mike steele" was played by the legend jason isaacs, who is also a phenomenal actor. he had so much movie roles, like an importand role in the harry potter movie series, or captain waggoner in "fury", you recently uploaded your reaction here on YT! besides many other roles, he had "danny mcknight" who commanded the humvee convoy, actor was Tom sizemore, you may have reckognized him as serg. mike horvarth ( mike) in saving private ryan, he was second in command in the group commanded by tom hanks as cap. john miller just to name a few.... there are a lot more, but i don't see the movies they were involved (including harry potter movie series) on your channel, so it is hard to tell if you saw them or not. i don't wanna do an upsi in form of a spoiler and spoil an charactername or something, if you not had wachted those movies yet. like of course josh hartnett is a well known actor, was seen in "pearl harbor" for instance. Glenn morshower is a very well known actor for side roles in many movies and tv shows, baywatch tv show for instance, or some star trek side characters, in air force one, in 1998 godzilla, or in the transformer movies love your channel. have already wachted many many of your stuff here, really enjoy how you doing it. if i may been allowed to.... here is a movie suggestion! on of my all times favorites out side of star trek, star wars and so on .... "300" (2006) incredible warmovie! based on a comic book which is loosly based on a realtime event in ancient greece, in a time long long befor it was a united country, a time of the old city states! greetings from Vienna / austria / europe PS: still working on my english, so if some text reas funny, ... sorry! any typing errors you can keep, i don't need them anymore xD

Something really interesting about this film is that a number of the pilots were actually involved in the raid in '93. Keith Jones, who piloted Star 4-1 both in Somalia and this film, recreated his rescue of Delta Sergeant Dan Busch from the 6-1 crash site. All the extras are real Rangers from the same Ranger Battalion as the original men. Raid veteran Ranger Sergeant John Collett, who was with one of the Ranger chalks (I think), was an extra as well.

This battle was pretty brutal. Not to mention poorly planned. Both of the Delta Force snipers got the Congressional Medal of Honor post mortem. And they deserved that honor

That's it, that's all it is, the man next to you. When we go over there, it's not our job to question the orders. The orders come from way up high. It's our job to follow said orders and to watch each others back.

This is my all time favorite battle movie I was so fascinated with it when I was Younger. I watched all the documentaries the real footage of the news And interviews for some of the soldiers that were there. Regardless what anyone says it was fairly Accurate. A lot of people complain that it's not like the book But you can only fit so much into a movie

Half of the Crew is one Cup of Tea away of revealing themselves.

There is nothing as cruel and beautiful, as combat!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

Hi there. I just found your channel and I thank you for your reaction to this film. I was in the US military when this went down. Though I wasn’t there, I knew a couple guys who were. Thankfully, they came home alive and in one piece. If you’re truly fascinated by war movies, may I suggest the following if you have not already seen them… Band of Brothers miniseries… this one is a must if you are fascinated with war movies. We Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson and Sam Elliott. Based on actual events during the Vietnam War. American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper. Based on a real person during the War on Terror. 13 Hours. Based on the 2012 attack on the American embassy in Benghazi. Enemy at the Gates starring Jude Law. Based on the Battle of Stalingrad. Love the reaction.

This was not a war, but there was a lot of combat even before the Rangers came in. The UN sent on forced led by the US 15 MEU (Marine Expediency Unit, which is comprised of 2000 Matines and about 200 sailors) their mission was Operation Restore Hope. The mission was to calm down the southern part of the country including the city of Mogadishu. And to make sure the people wer getting the food they the UN had sent in. They were starving and the city of Mogadishu had several Warlords all fighting for control amd they were not allowing the people to get food. The Marines were there to make sure it happened. We...yes we because at that time I was a young 1st Lieutenant in the 15 MEU, took thr airport by force and set up the US part of the UN base there. After getting a first hand look at the situation we...the Marines on the ground, new it was going to be almost an impossible job. Every boy at age 10 amd over it and every man under age 60 were part of one warlords militia or another one's. It was like the Wild West. You could walk down town to the markets amd seeing people selling AK 47s like they were selling fruit at a farmers market. We would run patrols in the city and get into small fire fights that would last between 10 mins to over an hour. We quickly learned to pay attention to the little kids. They would follow us around and beg for candy or money etc and we knew we would be OK. But then we turn a corner to go down another street and the kids scatter. We knew by that we we most the shit was going to hit the fan. The Marines pulled out because Operation Restore Hope was a failure due to the combat rules of engagement we had restricted on us. We could not fire unless fired on. So the various warlord all they had to do was loot the food drops and storage with firing on the Marines all the Marines could do was watch as people strayed. After we pulled out the US sent about 500 Rangers and Delta force to keep track of the most powerful Warlord who was a high ranking member of the Shabab terrorist orginazation...and then we got Black Hawk Down. Side note, I got my first purple heart and my first bronze star from Somalia

The Ranger haircut is called a, high an tight! The sides are kept down to the skin, for applying camo, if u should want.

The reason it kinda seems “less serious” between the Ranger officer and the Delta’s is they aren’t the same unit. Like he says “you Delta boys are a bunch of cowboys.” So even though the Ranger officer is technically a higher rank, he can’t really give orders to the Delta guys because they’re special forces. So it’s this weird kinda dynamic.

Not necessarily a war movie but “6 Days” is a great film that shows the attack on the Iranian embassy in London in 1980. Another true story that’s definitely worth a watch.

Movie recommendation: The Hurt Locker (2008), where we follow a 3-man US bomb disposal team in the second Gulf War. It's just non-stop tension, highly suspenseful, and great performances all around. It was the movie that got Jeremy Renner is big break, and to some extent Anthony Mackie as well. Together they would of course go on to later star in the MCU movies as Hawkeye and Falcon. :)

You are a intelligent woman, and I think you have a gentle,sweet heart. Stay like you are always, and keep the reactions coming!

As far as respect for the hierarchy there is. But these are two separate units. The Rangers which are an elite unit of the Army and Delta Force which is a more elite unit of the Army. Each has their own leadership. Under the control of one General. Then there is the 10th Mountain division which is temporarily under control of the United Nations and a Pakistan General. So it's complicated. Although you have to be respectful to any officer regardless if he is in your chain of command, you don't have to do as he says. As when the commander of the Rangers tells the Delta sergeant he should have his safety on when on base and the sergeant said well here's my safety Sir.

The helicopter pilot who lived... Durant...ran for Congress this past time, but didn't win. A damn shame! The medic talking about whipping up some margaritas, is the dad in Modern Family!

"We got a red sleigh down, we got a red sleigh down". Anyone remember that? Messed me up with this movie forever i guess.

Great reaction, Jade. You asked for some war movie suggestions, so here are three that I think you would enjoy: Tomorrow War (2021 with Chris Pratt), A Bridge Too Far (1977 with lots of big stars), and Greyhound (2020 with Tom Hanks). Keep up the good work with your channel! 🙂👍 Have you really never seen a gun in person? 😯 You need to come to America and take a trip to the gun range. You would have a blast! 🤗👍

I believe there was an editing error when the soldier stuffs the severed hand into his dump pouch. IIRC that hand belonged to the truck driver that got the RPG warhead stuck in him.

He's absolutely right... Words don't have to be in the dictionary to count in Scrabble, "limo" is perfectly acceptable.

Cool! I love it❤️

13hrs secret soldiers. You have to give that movie a watch

If you want an unusual black comedy of a war movie, there's No Man's Land from 2001. It's set during the Balkan War of the 1990's, and satirises the UN Peacekeeper forces, where it's a bunch of allies who need translators to communicate with each other.

Great react!! I’d recommend The Outpost or Siege of Jadotville both are Netflix originals and pretty good

I have gone to a indoor gun range before n used 2 different low power hand guns by aiming n shooting them towards a paper target but I do want to go back but this time to use a powerful revolver n a shotgun lol

In this movie, they had to go in and get the political leaders, and Pres Clinton didn't allow them to have tanks or a C-130 gunship overhead which would have been very helpful, and they had these problems. It was over in two days of fighting, but it scarred our country. For your information, the soldiers with the very short haircuts were Rangers, which are Special Forces Soldiers, and the ones with hair and beards were Delta Soldiers which is a different group of Special Forces Soldiers. The two different groups fought and acted differently which was displayed in this movie.

You might want to check out the Outpost. Deals with one of the military posts during the Gulf war.

One of my high school friends was piloting one of the little birds.

I think the actor playing the generals blonde haired assistant, was former president Gerald Ford's son.
