Well, we couldn't just sit back and let those countries threaten our monetary system by dealing oil in currency other than the dollar. How would the elite survive if we didn't send our best and bravest over there to kill and be killed?

In this case, it was Obama's hubris that was the sole reason for taking action. He saw the EU getting involved and it looked like they were going to be successful so he wanted to get in on it in case it turned out to be a win and secure a "legacy". Of course, it ended in disaster as usual.

This was all planned out long before Obama took office. He was just following orders, like all Presidents before and after him.

That's why I laugh when people try to blame one political side or the other. President's are carefully chosen and placed in office to carry out agendas. Their job is to sell that agenda to the American people. That is the beginning and the end of their responsibility as President.

Osama had been dead for years. Seals who took part in the FAKE takeout of bin Laden were taken out in helicopter crash. Problem solved.
Yes, they are that evil.

This is so stupid. Part of a Red Squadron troop was who went after him. A Gold Squadron troop is who got shot down in Extortion 17. I actually know the guy who was the alternate dog handler for that troop in Red Squadron. Will Chesney is who was actually on the mission as the dog handler.

One of the best re-watches out there. Have probably seen it 20 times.

That's good. I tried to watch it twice but could not follow the story, the people, or anything. Too much going on. No cohesive direction to the story. Close to an hour in and it felt like I was still waiting for the backstory to finish so the main part of the movie could start.

Maybe it'll make more sense years later. But I couldn't help but get bored out of my mind trying to follow along. It was like it was trying to be complicated like Inception or something, and it was just shots of random people at random desert bases or in front of walls of screens talking about inside information that the watcher had no idea what was going on with.

Sounds like a totally different movie. I mean, it follows the same character the whole time.
