FX tries to keep up morale

I flipped on FX's broadcast of "Behind Enemy Lines," an Owen Wilson flick where he plays an American pilot shot down over Bosnia. As he and his co-pilot try to figure out where they have crashed, Serb rebels find their plane and celebrate shooting down the plane. They jump on the fuselage and one soldier picks up part of a wing, labeled "U.S. Navy."

But not tonight.

FX cut that shot out.

As the camera pans over the rebels' celebration, we see a brief glimpse of a man holding something above his head before the scene abruptly cuts away.

What is the motive behind this? Why did FX cut the scene of a downed American plane? Would they cut out scenes from "Black Hawk Down" or American soldiers being mowed down on Omaha Beach in "Saving Private Ryan"?

Is the network -- a subsidiary of Fox -- worried about American support for the war on terror dropping by showing a two-second clip of an action flick?

I don't get it, and I don't see the problem.

Any ideas?
