guys remember the movie Rules of Engagement, I know it was fictional but would you say it was pre or post Desert storm or Blackhawk down?

Hallo!

IMHO... post 1996.

Since Samuel L. Jackson's character (Colonel Terry Childers) is a decorated Marine officer with combat experience in Vietnam, Beirut and Desert Storm...

the movie is post Desert Storm (1990-1991). With "Blackhawk Down" being 1993.

The modern scene in RoE, show Tommy Lee Jones' character (Col. Hays Hodges II) at a preretirememt party hosted by Childers in 1996. Then jumps to sometime later when Childers is assigned to the embassy in Yemen.

If I remember correctly this film fell into a period that post-dated both of those events by at least five years.
