10th Mountain in Mogadishu.

[ThunderKiss1965]

The Battle of Mogadishu happened a few years before I arrived at Drum but a few of the soldiers I knew actually participated. Its about time their story was told besides the over dramatized Black Hawk Down.

New ‘Black Hawk Down’ documentary tells story of soldiers who saved Rangers, Delta Force troops

......it was like Beirut--I remember clearly when I was in the USMC walking to chow, and I heard the Marines would just be in Beirut to keep the peace/non-''offensively'' --I immediately said to myself ''this is bad''.....a military force is not ''designed' for that type of relief operation where you can't be weapons free ...can they try to do it--sure, but it is very complicated

I believe it was the CIA criminal, who placed American troops there...not BJ Bubba. The CIA criminal bent to MSM pressure to do something. Instead of doing something smart, he sent in the military.
