The now infamous peace-keeping mission in Somalia, now commonly known as 'Black Hawk Down' through the smash-hit film, took place back in 1993, and was a pivotal point for the US military.
This documentary tells the true story of what actually happened, by the serviceman that actually took part, in what was supposed to be a quick 'in & out' mission.

I teach my kids, never engage an enemy that has nothing to lose
Absolutely 🫡
Yes friend. A similar lesson to heed for those that are running this planet and all decent folk's lives into the ground. BEWARE THE ANGER.....OF "PATIENT" MEN.
And when’s that relevant?
That’s only noise to folks who don’t have the boots on the ground knowledge. Kinda like when you’re in school and you’re being taught algebra. “What do I need to know this for?” Then as we go through life we realize that we should have paid attention to what our parents were trying to get through to us. Control the food, you control the world. Difficult concept to get through to a society that had a 40% obesity rate, where our children can turn their noses up to the food on their plates vs these children will eat the bark off a tree to stave off hunger pains.
If you actually do then you are a sorry excuse for a parent
My dad was among the UN peacekeepers contingent in Somalia. It is good to see him retired and still strong. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice ❤. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
UN and Peacekeeping is an oxymoron. It was just the European alliances sneaky way of killing and stealing
You can't have rules of engagement against a foe that has no rules of engagement.
They did have rules of engagements, they just weren't dictated by the West ..
You absolutely can and must. By that logic cops would be justified torturing serial killers to death. Just because the opposing side doesn't have moral standards doesn't mean you give up yours. What an asisine idea, it would only strengthen propaganda for America's enemies.
What an American thing to say
@@michaeledwards4665😂
The US did a terrorist attack first.
As a person that lives in Africa something always amazes me. Like here and other spots in the world one often sees so much suffering,, poverty, run down and destroyed infrastructure, starvation etc. But somehow there is ALWAYS never a shortage of weapons and ammunition. Odd....
Yes, strange that isn't it....😎
The supplier of weapons is disguised as the peacekeeper too.
Illegal arms sales and prostitution are the two largest markets in the world
Extreme poverty in a nation usually coincides with how much war they also go through. The governments who do their job with many mistakes, also make mistakes that cause wars, and deadly revolutions.
Did'nt see Russia or China or any of tthe former Warsaw Pact countries helping. Oh Wait a Minute, - ORDANANCE !@@addmad99
Now a lot those Somalis who fought the Americans are in Dearborn, Michigan in government housing., while many of the American Veterans are sleeping on the streets.
Yep, Governments have a lot to answer for...
The system fucking sucks! It’s outrageous and infuriating. But it is true.
That's why fighting for this country is important, but also not worth it, the government should see to it that anyone who has given themselves for this country should be taken care of for life
That is not true. The Somali freedom fighters are in their home land and they here to stay preparing themselves for the next war.
😂😂😂😂😂 l can't breathtaking How many they killed in somalia
It’s unbelievable that this event will be 30 years old in 2 months.
If you haven't already..listen to the episode of the Shawn Ryan Show with Tom Satterly. He was among the Delta operators in Mogadishu on October 3rd. Incredible episode.
It's a shame for a big country like America to admit that they were saved by the Malaysian army just tell the real story what really happened in bakara as Malaysians we just want the sacrifices of our soldiers who were killed and injured in the rescue mission of the American soldier in Somalia to be honored and respect instead of being denied their sacrifices for decades like it never happened
They never want to be reminded that their policies got people killed including civilians. The Military doesn't screw up unless the do the opposite of orders and come out saving the day. Politicians and those Politicians in uniform get troops killed. We weren't even allowed to mention politics during the cold war. Our alligence was to our Chain of Command.

I love Cookies. The Cookies in C-rats are awesome!@@dro9075
Hey listen if it wasn’t for the Malaysian Army my dad wouldn’t be home and I would never been born so thank them for that
Every account I’ve ever heard includes that. Idk what you are moping about. The Pakistanis often get overlooked but the Malaysians became outright legends. And probably none of them did it to gain fame, but just to help.
Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanastan... and the politicians still don't learn and keep wasting young American lives.
Opening the US-Mexico border & welcoming illegal immigrants shows how much US government & politicians really care about their own citizens.. It's been reported there's more than 800K american citizens live in poverty, hunger & living on the street while their government provide foods, homes & places to stay for illegal immigrants. Isn't that amazing?? NO!??? 😅 #10%ToTheBigGuy #WorldCops #CorruptGovernment
Are these politicians elected? Get what you wish for.
Politicians love war...there is so much money to be made in war .think of the fuel alone .
pity the soldiers....hell to the politicians
"They didn't have good intelligence." Most deadly mistake in war. The failure makes sense now.
Poor planning due to insufficient intelligence and underestimating the whole situation led to this disaster.
@bone3594 I totally agree. They had light armored vehicles but nothing that could sustain and control the crowds. Planning on this was piss poor and good men lost their lives because of it.
If it was a fair fight with no black hawks or fighter jets. The Americans would’ve been a few days worth of work
They don't have good intelligence *straight sending the black hawk down to hell*
8:33 , “we’re americans it isn’t supposed to go like that” never underestimate people that don’t fear dying
correct. The guy they are looking for was general in SNA and trained in Russia 🇷🇺.
Vietnam wasn't either, but did.
You can't win em all ! Bad Luck comes everyones way.The Somalian People are doing REALLY WELL NOW EH ? Half The B - - - - - - are jumping boats to The West !

How about the Military is not s Peace Keeping Force. That you then turn over to the UN. That can't even exist without the United States funding it.... As you send the Military in to kill people. Not hand out bags of Rice. You leave that to the Nuns. As you kill a Nun. The United States will burn your house down. And leave nothing standing. Unless you got a Cocaine snorting Democrat for President. That when he gets Elected says, Those are Our Planes Now. As his wife was worse then him. Lucky Donald J. Trump knocked her ass out cold. And I didn't even vote for Trump. I will this time. Time for them Democrats to get a new Job,,
Salute 2 those US ranger warriors. Great soldiers, plenty of heart and backbone. Not forgetting delta either. From a former British soldier.
I personally worked with a US Soldier who knew these operatives of Blackhawk Down. He cannot help but sob retelling this engagement.
Thats because he's a p u s s y !
RIP we can never appreciate the veterans that sacrificed themselves for our freedom enough God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
What freedom, going to other countries and start war BS.
How was that fighting for your freedom? You went to the other side of world and called soo many innocent people on their own land
killing and occuoying is not fredddom more the opposit
They didn't occupy anything
Rule #1 Never underestimate your enemy
Very true...
That's fine, but what people don't understand was that the Rangers were flawless and superior. They accomplished everything within 30 minutes. Then the helicopter was shot down. Then the second bird was shot down. And the missions changed. Today in Ranger school, part of the training includes scenarios such as Somali where US helicopters need security and rescue. These guys expected to be back in an hour. Foolishly, to lighten their load, some Rangers had little water in their canteens. Lessons learned.

@@putnamcountycrimeanalysiswandrlol is that even relevant?
While this was happening in 1993, I didn't realize how young these guys were. I was still a teenager, so they seemed so much older. But watching it now, they are so young. My son's age. I didn't even consider how their moms must have felt watching this play out on TV.
Imagine the Somali young men who were killed and the Iraqis who were also killed. They're humans too

Let me tell y’all something kids! All of y’all that are planning to one day serve your country. The man next to you is a great guy and he would die to save you in a heart beat. But the idiots running the show, right above your rank, they went to college and are super afraid to make any decisions because they care more about their careers after the military than they do the kids they’re supposed to be leading. The military is 100% ran by these idiots, do not join, it is nothing like you imagine. The bravest of the brave are always being told what to do by a bunch of cowards. And that’s why I got out as fast as I could, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.
Sound advice
Need more truth tellers like you, and less bootlicking fascist right wing goon loud mouth cosplay gravy seals.
My brother in law retired 8 years ago and lives in Pinehurst NC. He was an SF guy his entire life. He just told my son "do not join for any reason!" The pushing of DEI, trans and medical experiments was enough for him and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. He has dealt with Miley many times and said people like him are incompetent and just jiggle the right balls to rise up in rank.
'What if they gave a war and nobody came?'
I LOVED the closing comments about whether or not they died in vein. That's an excellent way to put it!
Even if their deaths *would* have been in vain, WE can give their deaths at least ONE purpose: if we diligently study what happened, learn from the mistakes, and remember the lessons and their memories as we continue to LIVE into the future.

Untold story Malaysia army rescue American soldiers in Mogadishu but not in black hawk down
It should remained untold as it it illigal war or special operation
The U.N. soldiers were in the movie. Rangers weren't aloud in the humvee cse they told them there was no room. That was the Mogadishu Mile. This was an American made movie about the american soldiers who lost their lives. Malaysia can make their own movie if they want about this tragic event.
@@stephenkiszenia79 That's a load of bull. Yes the UN forces 'were in the movie' but unfortunately the rescue of the American soldiers by the Malaysian UN soldiers weren't acknowledged or portrayed in the movie at all. Without the contributions of the Malaysian APCs which rescue them and brought the soldiers (including the bodies of those killed) back to safety, the American soldiers would have been doomed in the streets of Mogadishu. Btw yes we did make our own movie telling the exact situation during the rescue of the trapped Americans. To give justice to those involved that day and tell it as it was, our own movie titled Malbatt: Misi Bakara (Malbatt: Bakara Mission) continued from the scene in the movie BHD where the US General requested the help of the UN Peacekeepers in Mogadishu.
It was Pakistan Army and pretty hard to digest for everyone
I thought the un forces were in the movie. At the end. Where they are suppose to be?
When I heard that there was a film coming out regarding this, I went & bought the book on which the film was based. It was a great read & I honestly didn't know if it would transfer to film but Ridley Scott did an excellent job. Upon release of the film I went to see the premier in Manchester, England. The film was great but what shocked me most was the fact that when the helicopters were shot down there was a loud cheer at the back of the cinema! At the end of the film when the lights came on I looked back & saw a large group of Somali men!!
In that era, they just always cheered for death. Ours, their own countrymen, their own child…they were subject to a spooky mass hysteria that just made them like sharks when blood was shed. They didn’t need un peacekeepings and humanitarian aid. They needed an exorcist on a mass scale. The idea that people can go crazy by nations was the scariest thing I learned watching news of Somalia as a kid. I never forget that if it could happen there it can happen everywhere, and I’ve sometimes felt we are experiencing it ourselves the last 5-7 years. God have mercy on us all.
I think you have misunderstood the group, maybe they were cheering about something else, or for different reasons, somalis would not cheer proudly in cenema for celebration, bc we have dignity, I say that bc I know somalis, and I am somali my self, I can imagine they did support the somalis but they would not cheer in cenema for that. Bc is not like watching football game where you have to cheer for your country.
The Somalis should be the homeless ones not Americans serving their country
@@A-AartI hear what you're saying but you weren't in the cinema, Manchester has a Somali community & some of the younger ones were there the only noise from the audience was from them as the helicopters were shot down! I don't know any other way to make it clear for you, but believe me it happened as I told you!
Undoubtedly it's a great film but...... He just thrown out the fact that "a little Cat saving the Great Tiger" from being slaughtered. Highest respect to Malaysian Royal Malay Regiment for saving our azz
Watch movie: MALBAT MISI BAKARA - Untold story. Malaysian Battalion 🇲🇾🐯
Big Thank you to other countries' fighters that saved Americans in Somalia. Some of us NEVER forget .
Thanks You very Moch brother, GOD Bless You and all other brother in combate 🤛
My infant son had just passed when this happened, so i didnt pay much attention except to think about the complacency that our military had been in since bushes private war.
The skinny somalis are some tough fuckers not gonna lie, heard it was only a subclan from aidiids side who fought against the americans, imagine that…
Half-true story. Malaysian troops from 19th Mechanized Royal Malay Regiment were asked to loaned their armored vehicles (West German-made Condor APC) to the Americans but they did not know how to operate the vehicle since the Humvee were too lightly-armored. Despite having a battle tank, the Pakistanis refused to go forward since they lacking the NVG's, so the Malaysians continuing the rescue mission, costing the live of one soldier and 9 others injured during seven hours continuos battle with insurgents.

Interesting comment. When a Canadian chopper went down and the survivors needed rescuing the Australian SASR had to do it because, surprise surprise, the Pakistanis refused.
@@NPC-fl3gq Is the Canadian chopper incident the same or a different incident with the black hawk down in Bakara sir?
Born in Mogadishu in 1992 still have the crazy image in my mind
Thank you for the 19th Malaysian Regimen Army who fought in a mission to save the Americans Army who trapped in Bakara. In this War,hundred thousands of Somalians died of starvation. Very heartbreaking to see the innocents dying like that
That was unfortunate. The UN was complicit in America's atrocities in Mogadishu.

Nothing has changed. Somalia is still violent and people starving every day. Bush didn't do anything out of true compassion. Who knows what the true motivation was. Look at what was done to Iraq. Those people still suffering from the destruction of their country. Power outages, no air conditioning and it's 128 degrees. They injure and kill more people than those helped. Politics and power is rampant..... God's judgement will be justice for the innocent. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙏👌
Hmmm since when are wars about liberty and freedom of the people ??? In my book it’s more related to conquest, influence, dominace, petrol, etc
As their neighboring African brothers suggest, natural born thieves and liars, nothing ever changes in Somalia, not for lack of outside effort, but because of Somalis. I know this sounds harsh, truth usually is. What person uses food to buy guns to create more poverty and more starvation. They weren't killing for food, they were killing to take the food and sell it. 20 yeats later, poverty, drought amd starvation still run rampant in somalia, as do pairates, gun and arms deals May God have pity on their souls.

Thanks for your service. RIP to those that had passed away.
I was a medic with the British Forces for 25 years, and something resonated with me listening to this towards the end. One interviewee (the colonel) the enemy realised if they could defeat the technology, the American will could be broken, then you have a chance. I saw this for myself in afghanistan. One particular incident at the hospital after a roadside bomb lit up a patrol convoy. Horrific injuries, multiples of such. One American soldier was essentially just a torso, no legs, arms. The helicopters landed at the hospital and the american medical team who was on shift...its difficult to describe but they just couldnt function for the grief! They had to be relieved and the British team who had just gone to bed after their shift was stood back up to deal with the incident. I found this incident a profound realisation. Many times that same team had dealt with horrific injurys to afghan and allied forces out there during that tour, but when it was their people, they became non functional, catatonic, unable to process. We spoke of this for months after amongst ourselves, bringing it up with the Americans would mean a very angry exchange soon after. The American commander of the mission was a Colonel Heller if my memory serves, he went home in the days after the incident, i suppose he had some questions to answer for his superiors, and for himself. Such a deflating realisation, for many of us fighting to save lives alongside that team after this.
Well you heard it. "This is not supposed to happen. We're americans." We're supposed to be doing all the killing, and none of the dying.
@@Hundshunt haha a lot of people have said this sadly, I'd fully agree with them!
And I think a lot of the people the U.S. has fought over the years have realized this. There is a fair bit of arrogance because the American soldiers know in the majority of the conflicts they've fought since WW2 they are technologically superior. But strike that technology, and don't even really have to destroy it, and all of a sudden that superiority isn't so strong
you nailed it bro america is just nothing@@tquiring212
If it wasn't for people like you our mucker wouldn't be here today. He took a round to his lower leg, we thought we were going to lose him. Today he's more energy with his prosthetic than the rest of the squad put together. Personally I could never have done your job 🙏
What I remember most disturbing is that Clinton refused the military’s request to use Bradley fighting vehicles in the rescue.

I am a retired police officer from Berlin-Germany and have also experienced what it is like when people try to intervene in an operation who have no idea whatsoever. But this had reached a level that was incredibly, simply incredibly stupid and inconsiderate towards the soldiers. The strongest army in the world had to rely on the help of others because it had been deprived of all opportunities to use force at a certain moment. The forces deployed were simply allowed to die. What would have happened if the support of tanks and transport vehicles from others had not been provided? Many more wooden crosses should have been erected. The original recordings are almost unbearable today, just as they were back then. My only thought was how are the boys going to get out of there and are they even going to get out? An operation never ends the way it was actually planned, you had the feeling that there was no plan B, rather quick in quick out, it always works that way. The result is known. Great respect for the boys and never let yourself get burned like that again. You people are not chess pieces that can be replaced at will.

@@mohameddaud6061 I am a German, retired police officer and 62 years old and as far as I know, we were only in Mogadishu because of a GSG 9 operation against terrorists in 1977.

Weird question but here in the US police have higher rates of spousal abuse, divorce, alcoholism, suicide, etc. Is it the same in Germany? Or is it better because it's not nearly as dangerous and you guys likely have a higher bar for entry and better training, especially when it comes to deescalation?
@@mohameddaud6061 Somalia is a curse on the face of the earth.
The only reason Somalia operations didn't go as planned is because politics got involved in our military operations and when that's the case the outcome maybe rough.
Why did you come first place if you aren't here to stop the civil war and bring stability Somalis were still fighting while Americans were in the country Aidid was in US ship before this operation why not arresting him.
@danieljorge746 you’re absolutely correct.
I beg to differ. US terrorists killed a bunch of civilians before black hawk down. That's why the Somalis shot it down
Next to watching this documentary i highly recommend Tom Satterly telling his experience of the Mogadishu debacle for the last time on the Shawn Ryan podcast!👌🙏
That's why I'm here. I've heard of the movie but never saw it. Pretty sad all the anti American comments if you filter by newest on this video.
All those poor young boys , dying for greedy old men . Sad .
I was there at the very start as part of Air Force Combat Engineers repairing runways so rice and food could be delivered throughout Somalia. We were almost captured and we was there to help feed the them.
nah, stop lying. Somalis were ok at first and the US started fighting Aidid and killed a lot of innocent civillian people.
I served 20yrs army airborne ranger 84-04 and remember this operation like it was yesterday
Thank you for your service where on this Op ?
Sure you do buddy ! Sure you do !
I love you guys. You always be heroes in my book
Sense of duty and the man next to you. I hear ya.
You bring up a good point. And in Iraq and afghanistan we saw it a few times. Its sad, but people have a saturation point no matter the experience and training. You'll see this in fights occasionally also. Its not a cowardice or anything like that for the medical and guys in the first. They'll freeze, I likened to a cpu if you tried opening everything at once. Youll get that working on it icon in the screen. After a bit of time itll get everything open, but until that clicking or typing doesn't respond. As a medic for so long you probably know how much this fight changed a lot of stuff, but a ton of medical. This got us more medical training across our whole military. But things like cat tourniquets, combat gauze or hemostatic bandages, and the IFAK trauma kits everyone has. This gear helped establish that golden hour, theres a lot more to it, but with the guys fighting now much better trained and equipped to stabilize casualties to get them to a field hospital. In the beginning We sent guys out from our teams that had injuries that were not survivable in our eyes. Missing multiple limbs or arterial lacerations we'd all make sure to say goodbye to them. The first time we saw one that bad live it was stunning, as things progressed it was not uncommon see this. But I still remember vividly that first time we saw our buddy alive. I still tear up thinking about it 😊

I have the greatest respect for every single soldier that was involved in this. I unfortunately was rejected from service due to a regretful juvenial choice. I can not believe that our own government would let our own brave souls fight and survive by themselves no air and full military support for them all because of politics. These great men lost their lives for politics. Those counties have been massecering each other since the start of civilization, let them continue. We are the strongest and best country, why are we losing so many of our own fighting abroad for something that has nothing to do with us.
Our own government is in the business of human, drug and organ trafficking. they are building a massive Directed Energy Weapons facility in Hardin County KY (13 miles south of Fort Knox), they will burn us out the same way they did Lahaina, Paradise, CA, Gatlinburg, Australia, Greece, and 911
It's about the company's in the USA that makes weapons of war,we have to use theup so the taxpayers can buy more from the company's that make them! Why would anyone leave 85 billion of weapons behind to our enemies??? To fan the flames of war so the elites can get rich on the taxpayers labo!!

Was in Army basic training when cadre were getting orders for Somalia June 1993. Was in AIT on Oct 3rd. We started to punch the walls in anger and kick down wall lockers. We had to be ordered to stop. My first unit got back from Somalia a few months later. I worked at the ASP. I had sgt Phipps and Sgt Floyd visit my VHA almost every day. They never talked about it. I had to read the book. It haunted me for years I could not deliver payback for Somalia. I wanted to be a Ranger. I was lied to about the army. I was Airborne unassigned.

Politicians and leaders will lead communities that don’t know each other to massacre themselves, but politician who know each other will not massacre each other!
The things that go on in the world behind the scenes is enough to change the mood in a room and make the air thick. Love would be a best seller if u could bottle it up.
They died in Somalia and You Tube is making a fortune capitalizing on patriotic people trying to watch the story, with countless adds.
God bless you brother
RIP To the 19 US forces, one Malaysian force, one Pakistani force, and 300-700 Somali forces who were killed in the Battle of Mogadishu
I love my country and very thankful for ever solider for what they did for me But when I seen those American soldiers on display just tears at my heart
Tom Sizemore was here as Col. McKnight in the film about the battle Blackhawk Down
Can you imagine a WWII report coming out like this? I remember when our press was on our side.
Everything that could go wrong ,did ,but they fought to the end🇺🇲
we gotta blackhawkdown...we gotta blackhawk doooooowwwwwnnnn
Somali maryooley idin aaway dee xagee jidhaan maxaad ilmo adeerayaal wax qasteen
Founded by "Hoot" - Norm Hooten (real-life Special Ops MSG ret.) - played by Eric Bana in Black Hawk Down, Hooten Young Cigars and Whiskey honors the true mission from this movie. Shop their Rye Whiskey and Operation Gothic Serpent 30th Anniversary cigar in homage to this historic US Military mission.
The Truth has been revealed. Malayan Tiger is watching. Peace!
I don't think the soldiers fought and died in vain! They fought for a good cause and to protect each other, to stand side by side, back to back! And they can be proud of that. I think that few countries are willing to sacrifice their soldiers for another country. We will never experience the massive sacrifice like on D-Day in the Second World War again. Respect for all the soldiers who died in Mogadishu to give their comrades a chance to survive! God bless you and rest in peace! 🙏🏻
Of course they died in vain. They were very brave but the politicians wasted their lives for nothing. The US had no vital interests at stake in Somalia's civil war. Good leaders only risk the lives of soldiers when it is necessary to defend the country.
That is slave mentality. They do NOT fight for "each other" They are corporate pawns sent to do the dirty work of American economic "interests"!!
A civil war doesn’t include starving hundreds of thousands of people. I can tell you right now, aside from the shit political decisions that cost the lives of some good men, that many people I served with would have made the same decision to fight and attempt to restore some civility for the sake of opening the food lines to innocent men, women and especially children that were being starved to death. None of us signed with any caveats being that we’d only fight certain types of wars. We might have been ignorant to the fact that politicians make trash decisions that took the lives of far too many soldiers but nonetheless we can’t sit idly by whilst watching hundreds of thousands of innocent people die of starvation.
I think what we can all learn from this is that America needs to worry about us. We need to quit sticking our noses into everyone's else's business. We need to worry about our borders and citizens first. If someone presents a threat and needs dealt with, we roll in hard and heavy with over whelming numbers do the mission get on a plane and leave.
Not always that easy.
America doesn't get involved in international affairs because it worries about other nations, its quite the opposite actually. You're naive
@@spankg888 get educated
America only gets involve when there’s money to be made
We are the problem, the criminal, not the solution.
This,,,,is when life come to town,,! Be ready ,!!!
Sorry for the loss of soldiers on both sides, However was experience gained for USA to know things ain't easy in Somalia.
I couldn't watch the movie because i had watched it in real-time. The images depicted via media were heart- and gut-wrenching. I will never forget it. God bless American soldiers. 🖤
How exactly did you watch it in real time if you watched a short clip well after the battle was over.
Frontline does a spectacular job of reporting when it cmoes ro there documetaries. Hats off to them . Thanks for sharing. God vless our teoops. Respectfully dave blackburn
Yes they do, very professional. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment Dave...
30 years sure blew by fast. We Happy Few. 🇺🇲✝️
Thankyou Reagan's vice president HW BUSH for getting us involved in Somalia in 1992
How tough were these Somalians ready to fight a superpower army ..
They fought a platoon who were trying to save them. How sick.
@@shawnpathat is a laughable statement and anyone that believes that is pretty gullible
Hard to believe this happened 30 years ago.
I was one of somali fighters who fought the Americans, I was only 13 ,now I live in America 😂
@@pap7794 How many did you kill?
@@stevedavenport1202 I'm not sure how many cuz I was always coked up but I think a couple
@@pap7794 Did you mention that to the immigration officer? 😀
@@stevedavenport1202 Of course no ,they wouldn't have let me in brodie
Aidid son was a marine and fought during blackhawk down as an interpreter. When his father died he was back state side and he was named leader of his fathers faction so he then went back to somalia as leader trying to take over as president. He then signed a peace treaty with the president
Its all very well saying we leave no man behind, but the problem with this mentality is that to bring one body back can cost you another 10 or 20 or more. its a very tough position to be in.
Wasn't that illhan omar in the crowd scene?.. looked familiar..
I believe he's in Gaza now, doing his "thing" as per.
The real reason why the mission failed is the Somalis don't fear death we only fear Allah almighty
Malaysian save american army that moment, we as malaysian have lost the best army that come to save them.
*great.🔥👌🔥. documentary*
Glad you liked it!
How naive some soldier are. The one that said I can not beleive the bird went down because we are the US rangers ! When he said that he felt powefull when flying in helicopter siting on the edge ! He did not beleived that flying that low a single rpg and its over !
5 birds were shot down that day. Not just those 2
I just don’t understand why you’d sign up for a mission like this thinking the government has your back.
One has to ask. Why did anyone bother about the situation in Somalia! Could it be the billions or trillions of dollars of trade passing just off the coast, going up to the Suez canal( which now has an international force, trying to control Somalian , so called pirates, composed of mainly:ex fisherman, whose lively hoods have been stolen by foreign countries fishing fleets!)?!. The international community, never got involved in Rwanda, where millions were murdered!! Trade is more important than lives? The UN and America, got sucked in yet again!!. ?
America wasn't there to care about the situation. They were there to destabilise the future. That's why they committed a terror attack at a house where Somali leaders and civilians gathered to discuss peace
Malaysian army rescued US elite army but it was not told in the blackhawk down movie
Yes, it only focused on the US action...
@@militaryaviationtv it focused on propaganda, Americans don't wanna accept the humiliation
@@tumelochana345 exactly
It was told, the UN convoy at the end was the Malaysian army
Is it true that American soldiers are crying in the throes of time to be saved?
Well done to all those involved that made it back out and those that were lost. Just know you are all forever respected even from afar.
I am not a veteran, but almost every generation of my family served in just about every war this nation has fought. I believe the Mexican war and Desert Storm are the only two without any family in uniform. We have a "rule" that is, no talk of combat at the table during the holidays. And Vietnam is the one we NEVER even mention at any time period. Four of my uncles enlisted to go to that insane, and most savage war our country fought. But to compare wars is just useless. All war is savage, and it changes men and women as well. All four came home intact physically. Mentally, well , not so much. Uncle Danny took his life in 1991. He was Air Force and everyone thought he never saw combat. Turns out he did. Hand to hand combat with V.C. and N.V.A. sappers breaking through the wire at night. Almost five nights a week. Killing a man with a knife or your hands is about as intimate it can get. I am grateful I never had to do that.
US underestimate the local. How many of them say thanks to Malaysians army who saved them?
