Since the USA has arguably the most corrupt government on the planet, (can you say Enron?) and the film was made with the active participation of the US Government, and US Military, of course the film is going to be heavily pro-American, and anti-Somali.
That's a given. Add Hollywood, and any resemblance to the truth is pretty well obfuscated. Enjoy the action, ignore the politics. Over 2000 Somali died in this little 'fiasco', heavily weighed toward the civilians, BTW, compared to 18 US military combatants. Just my opinion of course....

Huh? Stick to the flashlights Gandalf, as I'm not so sure we've got a handle on ALL the Enron facts just yet. Or are you privy to intel the rest of the free world isn't?
US Govt. the most corrupt? Perhaps. Why don't you take a stroll over to Mother Russia and give us all a hands on comparison test? Or maybe...uh nevermind.
I can see why you might feel our govt. is the most corrupt after what the Clinton administration foisted upon us. It's our own fault however as the sheeple voted for him...TWICE.
Yeah, I suppose the lives of 18 U.S. soldiers don't really matter when you THINK (or don't) about it. Afterall they were sent over there by our buddy Klinton and he WAS the leader of the "most corrupt government on the planet" wasn't he?
What the hell, lets just "enjoy the action" from our nice comfortable litte easy chairs while the media spoonfeed our feeble little minds!
Sorry Gandalf, but you brought that on yourself. That's "just my opinion of course".
What do you say we get back to the business of flashlights instead of loading our responses with political agendas?
