I went with my friends to Century City to watch Black Hawk Down. The movie moved me. I nearly cried a few times during the movie. When I got home, I cried. I really think it’s the best war movie I have seen.
The sad truth is that this is the new style of war for the 21st century. We will no longer see large scale wars with tanks a-blazing such as during the Gulf War. The next war will be fought in the streets, among the office buildings and homes, against foes hidden in the darkness. The thing that got to me was seeing that little kid holding a machine gun. Too young to find true love but not too old to know how to kill.
I have great respect for the men and women serving in our armed forces. If the Navy would give me another chance, I would re-enlist within a heartbeat. God bless America.
