You mean the thing Black hawk down was based on? I think the US Troops did a great job of coming out with only a few losses. |

Yeh that whole thing. I think that they underestimated the Somalians...but they where brave and courageous to have fought like that and not give up.....they where even braver to have gone back into the city. |

Our troops were WAY outnumbered. They only expected light resistance, but were hit with heavy fire. I don't know much more about it, but if the movie was accurate at all, the entire town was out to kill them. |

Yeh movie was pretty accurate. But for the number lost and wounded we killed more of them than us......but we lost four choppers and about 18 or 19 soldiers that day. |

Hey Ghost, been a while since I saw you post. They did what had to be done, and they took a small amount of casualities consdering how many people they were up against, plenty of them were armed heavily. |

Ditto. I think I might know what your talking about; I saw a short movie clip in class once that sounds like it was a similar situation, but I don't even know what war they were talking about

In 1993 the US sent in Delta Force because some war lord in Somalia was ambushing UN convoys with supplies meant for small villages. Something along those lines. |

hehehe.........left out a few things. In 1993 the US sent in Delta Force and Army Rangers to arrest a warlord named Muhammed farer (sp?) Aidid. His militia and country where in the middle of a civil war and his militia was was stealing supplies ment for civilians and if the civilians didn't allow them to take it they where killed on sight. |

military victory, political failure. We succeeded in our objective, to rescue hostages, and get Aidid, but Clinton handled it poorly, internationally. |
