Mexican Drug Wars Now A US Problem

[Aaron]

I'm not sure what legislation we enacted banning assassination, but it should go in the rubbish bin, at least so far as dictators and drug cartels go.

And, I got partway through Rainbow Six before I decided it was derivative capitalist propaganda crap, and put it down. If I'm ripping off Clancy, it certainly isn't intentional.

Actually I think it was Clear and Present Danger.

[Tsukiyumi]

Didn't quite get to that one either, though I think I saw the movie once, years ago.

[Nickswitz]

It was Clear and Present danger that had the drug cartel in it I'm pretty sure. IDK what it was actually about, but it had a drug cartel in it somewhere. lol

That bore almost no resemblance to the actual novel, which was about the US military covertly attacking drug cartels. Not bizarre euro-nazi's blowing up a stadium with a nuke. The only books that I consider really good where Hunt for Red October and Without Remorse. When Clancy gets political I tune out.

[Tsukiyumi]

Ah, well. That sounds like a much better plot.

Which one had the Irish terrorists? I think I saw that one. And unfortunately, I saw Sum Of All Fears as well, though I was fortunately drunk and don't remember 99% of it.

Hunt For Red October was a bad ass movie, though. For a minute there, I almost forgot that was by him.

Oops, the movie Clear and Present Danger did have the same plot as the book. It was Sum of All Fears that they switched around.

It's Patriot Games with the Irish terrorists in it. Best part; bad guy killed while getting a BJ by a chick in stockings.

Yeah, wish it had Ford instead of Baldwin though...

The only Tom Clancy novel I've read is The Hunt for Red October

You should give Without Remorse a go, if your interested in US Navy UDT guy going apeshit on organised crime.

I've seen most of them, never read any of them. I liked all but I don't see it through the same lens as all of you older folks, and I haven't seen them in a good long time.

When viewed through what we know of Soviet Russia, some of his earlier books didn't age that well. It's unfortunate cause I was a big fan when I was younger.

[Nickswitz]

I loved Hunt for Red October, but thats the only one I remember the whole plot to, I know what some of the other plots were about, but not the whole thing, I remember what Sum of All Fears was about, and Clear and Present Danger. Clear and Present Danger was the one on Air Force One, right?

If you mean the movie, I haven't seen it. I also haven't read beyond Without Remorse.

[Nickswitz]

Yes, I meant the movie, and I've never seen Without Remorse.

[Tsukiyumi]

...I've never seen Without Remorse.

Probably because they haven't made it into a movie yet.

[Aaron]

Without Remorse hasn't been made into a movie yet, wish they would though.

If you mean Air Force One with Harrison Ford, I don't think that is a Clancyverse story.
