I think a moderator should merge all the Osama threads with all the Obama threads. Just to keep it interesting.

You should read some books about Bat21 that movie is ok but very not accurate.

Here is a link to the real story:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_Bat_21_Bravo

I think there might be a book about it as well but there is not a really good doc on the whole thing.

A really good film about one of the few Vietnam era POWs to escape and later get rescued is Rescue Dawn about which is also a true story about a US Navy pilot that got shot down over Laos it is not 100% accurate either but is much better than BAT21 movie wise.

For some reason Panama gets ignored I think because starting not much later in 1990 began Desert Shield and then Desert Storm and they get more attention movie wise. But there was a little known Delta Force rescue mission during Just Cause called Operation Acid Gambit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Acid_Gambit I saw a show about it on the Military channel once.A movie about the American (many claim CIA) Kurt Muse and then his rescue that could be a good film.

Another often unknown but outstanding operation from Vietnam is the Son Tay Raid:http://www.psywarrior.com/sontay.html in many ways similar to the Osama raid and Operation Eagle Claw(history test

).The POWs where not in the camp during Son Toy but it did end up boosting morale of American POWs in North Vietnam and they where all moved into a handful of locations and where all together.

Am I sick of hearing about Osama? Brother, I've been sick of these news cycles ever since the first Simpson trial.

I'm probably going to Hell for mentioning this:

I'm glad they finally got over that triviality.

I was sick of Osama, but then we fortunately won the icehockey championship. I was sick of icehockey championship, but then the party fortunately got a little too wild and people started asking how appropriate it is to party hard after such victory. Now I'm sick of wondering how appropriate it is, but fortunately soon enough something else will happen.

Basically I'm sick of media that has to make 1,000,000,000 articles about one and same topic and spam them on their websites like no one in any forum could. "OMG, did you know that celebrity Neverheardofyou just sneezed?! Read it all here! Watch the video!!"

How about when we sent troops into Serbia? What about Panama, Grenada? How about the GSG9 crises with the Baader Meinhof Gang?

Serbia...
Grenada...
GSG-9

Can't find a non-documentary about Panama though...

I'm a real nut when it comes to the Panama operation - that one deserved a movie for sure as far as I'm concerned

Oh, and what about when that F-105 (I think) pilot went down over Vietnam while the pilot was on his last mission, and they lost a bunch of helicopters trying to get him, and eventually they used golf course holes as directions to guide him to a rendezvous point on the river, where a daring man in a canoe picked him up? I can't think of anything about that non documentary style...

Correct me if I'm wrong
