All things considered, BHD does a good job of depicting urban fighting mostly. But since it deals with a battle that took place in Somlia in 1993, I don't consider it a war movie about current conflicts in the GWOT, which I was mainly referring to.

I will say that having been involved in heavy streetfighting and wounded in action (took a bullet) in Iraq myself that it only takes one guy with a machine gun to pin you down. There were a lot of bullets flying in that film, and at the rate it was depicted, a lot more of those guys should've died. Also, RPGs DO NOT FLY THAT SLOW. You will never, and I mean NEVER, have time to turn around and yell "RPG" to your buddy and duck out of the way while that thing is in mid-flight. Trust me on that.
