What is the point of this film, nothing happens, I was waiting for something to happen and nothing happens. Just when I think they've finally released a half decent film, it begins well enough, young soldiers on a mission, doing their thing. Then a few get injured. Thats it. Its like a single scene from Black Hawk Down, not even as good.

>What is the point of this film, nothing happens
that was the point

>>211373844

damn man so deep

it wasn't deep it was just boring, literally everything they did has been done better before, the point they were making was made in better films like Black Hawk Down but those movies also had a narrative and better acting, ffs

It was the Iraq war in a microcosm
>be american
>invade foreign country you have no business being in
>barge into some family's house
>say its mine now
>herd the family into a small room and treat them like shit
>use the iraqi soldiers as bait
>get your ass kicked
>whine and cry for help
>leave everything in a worse state than when you arrived

>>211373897
Nothing is deep according retards like you

>>211373964
Yes but there's never any backlash on the soldiers themselves, it's all pat on the back and thanks for your service bullshit while they legit behaved like spoiled cunts

>>211373964
it was just the marines really. the army came in early with the help of marines, kicked ass then let marines play guard duty. all the heavy fighting after that took place in afghanistan and since there were hardly any marines there and marines are the hollywood branch of the military most people forgot. thousands of americans died fighting in afghanistan during the surge in the span of a few years. you talk about "the surge" and nobody even knows what the fuck you are talking about these days like it didn't even happen

>>211373964
>>leave everything in a worse state than when you arrived
not possible

>>211374146
>the point they were making was made in better films like Black Hawk Down but those movies also had a narrative and better acting

>>211374439
again, BHD does this.. but it isn't boring. you want to make a film about war being hell, excellent, but don't make it shit

>>211374419
>over 600,000 iraqis dead after invasion
>70% of iraqis wanting an islamic state after invasion vs only 21% before invasion

>>211373897
Except Black Hawk Down is just taking a real clusterfuck of a battle and turning it into retarded dudebro propaganda. The entire battle was caused because some 18 year old jumped out of a Helicopter and missed his rope, and they change it in the movie to "RPG hit heli" because they don't want slapstick moments in muh serious war movie!!!! Then there's the retarded Green Beret shilling where they turn them into action heroes (the actual Green Berets straight up said they didn't do any of that shit and then still cheered at the screening anyways because they're psychotic)

Vs Warfare pointing out how clownish the nature of invading someone's house to use as a base inherently is and how quickly a mission can go FUBAR. The whole point is that they basically got nothing accomplished and still managed to get a translator killed and two soldiers crippled for life.

YEAH LET'S FUCKING GO, PAIN AINT SHIT BABY. SEALS GET SOME *slaps your mutilated leg*

>third world country before
>third world country after

>>211374598
the only reason the 'movie' was made is because white people bad

>>211374666
Mendoza literally made the movie for the sake of the white guy who lost his legs, but sure dude. 4chan narratives are poison to the brain.

It took 21 years for Iraq to recover from the Gulf War (not accounting for inflation)

>>211374690
what a shit gift

>>211374765
the IED wiped his memory of the event. I think every single SEAL involved suffered a level of brain damage from it.

Well actually, let's be fair. A lot of that spike in 89 is debt. It only really took 15 years for Iraq's economy to heal after being liberated by the US.

>>211374792
thats a sad story but it doesnt excuse the movie

>>211375279
Why? Do you write off an actual portrayal of the event from someone there as "white people bad"? If so, get off the internet.

>>211374318
>less deaths than a random Middle Ages battle
yeah no shit it was forgotten, a relatively small amount of people died in a conflict the general public didn't understand outside of embarrassing propaganda. Every life lost is sad but, and honestly even sadder with how pointless it all was but you can't expect people to remember

>>211374643
>Was a shit hole
Wait til you Google Iraq in the 70's. But why would anyone expect the average zogbot to know history eh? You stupid fucking nigger.

>>211375387
>Google Iraq in the 70's
So before Saddam assumed full control of the country and led it into a series of retarded wars?

>>211376058
Does that change your definition of third and first world?

>>211375387
>Wait til you Google Iraq in the 70's.
Wait til you google how the Iraqi's did basically nothing to fight ISIS lol. They just rolled over like dogs instead of fighting for women to dress like this.

why do redditor dipshits all think that a handful of photos of people (women wearing western clothes) in cities somehow represented the norm in Muslim countries decades ago? They do the same thing of pictures with women from Afghanistan and Iran wearing LE SKIRTS and NO HEAD COVERINGS and think that the entire country was some quasi-Western, free society. The Islamic Revolution of Iran was a popular revolt and had massive support, 46 years and they still don't care enough to try to overthrow it.

Another Israeli golem.

You're either playing dumb or genuinely retarded. Which do you think is more pathetic?

>>211377086
Only problem is we didn’t kill enough. Better use of my tax dollars than more handouts for nigs
