There are no real combat movies about Panama (just Docs AFAIK) and movies about the 1993 war are far more engaging.
Worked with a guy who did 2 or 3 tours in Vietnam and was also in Panama.
He said Panama was some of the worst combat he was ever in.

Operation Just Cause was certainly intense but short. For a relatively new 2LT like myself, I had so much on my mind that it was pretty much a blur. My unit (1-504 PIR) jumped in after the 75th Rangers onto the civilian international airport. The airport opened 2 or 3 days later.
When I decided to go into the military it was a peacetime military. Then within months of getting to my unit we were in Panama then about 6-7 months later, we were deployed to Suadi Arabia waiting to roll into Iraq. I always knew I had shitty timing.
