Somalia was facing starvation. The UN went in to feed the people there.Please refresh my memory--what business did the US have in Somalia? Did Somalia attack us?
The War Lords (basically Al Queda) started attacking UN troops. We went there in force to protect the people delivering the food.
When I was there Navy we left temporarily to Kuwait for training. When we got to Kuwait the War Lords attacked and killing UN forces. Italians mainly.
We hauled ass back to Somalia and the Mullahs went back into hiding.
After we left the remaining troops didnt have proper support, armor, air support. Then the War Lords killed Americans.
Clinton then Thcked tail and ran.
