I first saw this while watching YouTube excepts of one of my favorite movies, Sicario. There's a channel where two (sometimes more) special ops soldiers (ret.) discuss the good, bad and ugly of Sicario and other movies that portray military operations from their perspective of having actually lived (and lived through) the real thing.

 I watched their commentary of the original film and the sequel (Sicario: Day of the Soldado) which they mostly liked, and also on Blackhawk Down, which they also mostly liked. Now THAT'S entertainment...the elucidation of reality from genuine members of a genuine meritocracy.

Sicario has a great line delivered by one of the protagonists, (a former lawyer whose family was tortured to death by a Mexican drug cartel) portrayed by Benicio Del Toro, when he says to a  naļve, diffident FBI agent Kate (Emily Blunt), "You should move to a small town where the rule of law still applies. This is the land of wolves now - and you are not a wolf".
