The PC police haven’t tried to ban this film yet

It was a pretty faithful adaptation from the book, which was nonfiction. It would be like banning history.

Lol banning history is kind of their thing

That was thrown like a softball and you hammered it

[–] samoanjoes (53127) 2 years ago

Why?

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

Bunch of white people shooting black people.

[–] samoanjoes (53127) 2 years ago

It's a true story though.

[–] MovieChatUser497 (18943) 2 years ago

The PC police wouldn’t care.

There were many things in the book that were not included in the film for pc reasons, I assume.

I remember in the book, Somali women locking hands across the street while men fired at the soldiers from behind them. Also, kids sitting on top of gunmen while they fired also. At first the Rangers and Delta did not engage in these scenarios, but as the situation on the ground became more desperate they would unload on whatever looked like a threat.

Might as well just shoot right through the women in that scenario. You can't say they didn't invite it.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20774) a year ago

That’s what they ended up doing.

As they should have from the very beginning. The women chose a side and were directly participating whether armed or not.
