I know it's not 100% accurate, but Blackhawk Down (the movie) really gave me alot of respect for Rangers and Delta Force and the brotherhood that serving in those units brings.
That scene where the 2 Delta Operators volunteer to go down and secure the 2nd crash site (and they are only armed with sniper rifles) gets me everytime. Watching that movie made me regret never joining the service. Looking back, I wish I had out of high school. But yeah, I've always envisioned G.I.Joe as a fictional and hollywoodized Delta Force.

I also think it's fantastic that both Buzzer and the Baroness were "left-wing radicals" and "intellectuals" before turning to a life of terrorism and anarchy. and the Zartan family tree obviously has it's roots in some Balkan Liberal Arts school for the insanely gifted. I mean...20 languages? Method-Acting?
Buzzer was awesome - probably my favorite 'Nok. He was the only one with the guts to steal Zartan's motorcycle. My understanding is that prior to somekind of nervous breakcown we was a preffessor of psychology or something at Cambridge University.

Watching that movie made me regret never joining the service. Looking back, I wish I had out of high school. But yeah, I've always envisioned G.I.Joe as a fictional and hollywoodized Delta Force. After watching the movie, one might think: "No one is that cool". After meeting that one Delta Operator, I stood corrected. They are totally that cool. "This is my safety, sir." One point about that movie that isn't accurate is the depiction of Captain Steel (Played by Chris Issac) of the Rangers. He kind of comes across as really uncool in the movie. The real Captain Steel went on to become a Brigade Commander at the 101st Airborne, and one of my best friends served under him when he was Colonel Steel. My friend said he was hands down one of the best commanders he's ever worked under. He said Steel was huge and lifted as much or more than anybody in the Brigade, and that he would have followed Colonel Steel anywhere.

I actually thought Capt. Steele wasn't too bad in that movie. Did seem to be a little "out of his element" and shell shocked, but didn't seem that bad.
Great movie no matter what.

I don't know why, but that kind of scares me.
