Honestly, watched it, expected more, it was shit. Absolutly shit.
If that movie portrayed the actual skills of the american soldiers, then no wonder they can't do nothing.
Shit acting, shit everything. Nothing even akin to Black hawk down.

American left Iraq coz Iraq started to punish american soldiers who missbehave or commit crimes ,I guess this is happend at the start of the war when Iraq people had no power or goverment ,and now he is living freely as veteran in amreica where Iraq goverment can't even touch him,there r many cases which happend during the war,which r not even brought to light so this film is nothing compared what is still going on in afghan and Iraq...
with war comes always crimes

Interesting. Considering how nationality does not keep anyone from learning martial prowess, or how to fire a weapon better.
I know a few gents who would turn you into a pretzel, demon.

If you think they don't suck, you're wrong!
It's like saying you enjoy someone singing completely out of tune,
Or reading a book covered in brown sauce.
I know its your opinion, but your opinion is just wrong!

Demon and smurf, in order for what you say to make any sense what so ever one of two things must be true:
1:Americans are so genetecally different from the rest of the world that it shows in combat.
2:The training GIs get is worse than the training taliban gets.

I would also like to add I watch fox news everyday all day and will continue to watch it while being proud of that fact. I'm sure you enjoy your communist news network just as much.

Yeah they are on their home territory, which is a massive advantage (not to mention the insidious terrain). How well do you think a Taliban would fare fighting in New York?
If USA invaded Sweden I could hide in the forests where I live and be a major pain in the ass for americans. If me and a few friends also had weapons+ammo then the americans would need 100+ soldiers to root us out and that wouldn't even guarantee success! Do you really think that makes me a better soldier?

Smurf - Soviet Conscripts serving in Afghanistan had some of the shittiest military training in modern history, also being largely drafted from occupied states themselves. The majority of the "military training" they had was basically learning how to take an unending stream of racist shit from Russian superiors, rather than actually getting taught how to fire or use small squad tactics (which is what was necessary in Afghanistan for success).

so if americans need 100+ soldiers to root away few armed civilians,then yeah,I consider them to be pretty shitty tbh.

U.S. troops, in contrast to Taliban fighters:
Learned some form of self defense training. These are also big, beefy guys by default, especially after training. When playing a nice friendly game of "swing your LMG at the other guy's face", how do you think a possibly mal-nourished, spindly taliban fighter would fare in comparison.
Were taught how to properly hold and fire an assault rifle, LMG, and disposable AT launcher accurately, regardless of nationality or type of the weapon. Proper posture etc (left arm UNDER the weapon, right arm raised parrallel with the line of the shoulders etc) helps maintain accuracy, as opposed to a lot of the Taliban troops we see who are spraying their AKs like a 10 year old playing CoD.
Have VASTLY superior logistical support.
Have VASTLY superior medical support.
Have undisputed aerial supremicy.
Have a vast array of modern weapons, body armor, and mechanized vehicles that far outclass the cold war tech the Taliban regularly bring to bear.
Are trained in advanced small unit military tactics.
While it's true thatcompared to other countries' professional armies, the U.S. army's composition of 'citizen soldiers' might be considered a limitation, the quality of troops the U.S. can field is equal to that of any country with a standing professional army (take for example the faceoff against Saddam's NON CONSCRIPT PROFESSIONAL Republican Guard, who were comparitively trained and very well armed.

If they are armed they are no longer civilians.
