US fighting a war as usual that doesn't concerns them

Well if we read through history, it was more of a Somalia civil war and united Nations peace keeping but US troops were deliberately attacked when they tried to capture the leader of the Somalian forces

Yea 3 black hacks were gunned down

But the Somalian suffered heavy casualties than the US, Malaysia and Pakistani forces

The dragging of the dead US troops was the climax of the war

More reason they didn't interfer in the Rwanda genocide

Mighty and Weak?
Like seriously?
I think there is an undertone here.
You sure have something against the USA.

No one or Nation has ever nor will ever Win all Wars...

You win some, you lose some.

Ask yourself, if the USA were to go into war with Somalia how many weeks will the Somalis survive before they are wiped off the surface of the earth?

You are right, in addition to that the Somali militias also shot down two US Blackhawks worth $10m each with just a $300 RPGs. Showing the video of (Mike Durant ) the captured US fighter pilot by Somali militias on tv stations around the world was even more humiliating to the US. for a black African nation to do this was like a blow to US military history, and since then the US military has never been actively involved in the actual conduct of war operations in "BLACK AFRICA"

What are you saying, you called that "an abduction and rescue"? Who were they there to rescue? A black hawk attack helicopter with a mounted minigun is designed for the purpose of war operations. The presence of armed soldiers with war machines is an indication of combat readiness, judging by this understanding there would never be acceptable claims to raise any doubt that the US didn't actually went there for war.

One thing about you guys is that you are not every current, the war started when the war lord farad adid, removed the government and then it spiral into a civil war, the USA only intervene when adid started attacking UN missions and taken food meant for the starving Somalis, bush sent the delta force and the USA rangers to remove adid, the Somalia militants even children were welding guns women too, yes two black hawks were shoot down,. RPG are meant to shoot down helos, thats what they are made for so I wonder why you are putting price on the weapons,
Just the same way a low cost surface to air missiles SAMS can bring down a mutil millions jet,.
Mind you the helos brought down were the transport variant of the black hawsk they were used to transport troops along the battle front this type of helos are slow and vanurable to RPG attacks, if the militants brought down the attack helos like the viper or the Apaches then it worth praising.
The USA lost 8,men the Somalis lost close to 2,000, men two months after the raid on mogdadishu the warlord addid was killed by the same USA.

Mr man I know you hate the USA, write with sense ok

Bush was never in the picture during the battle of Mogadishu, It was during the administration of bill Clinton.

You sound funny trying to make an excuse for the crushing of the US military attack helicopters in somalia, those black hawks were designed for combat, they were armed with heavy machine guns, even the pilots had submachine guns by their side.

"The USA lost 8,men the Somalis lost close to 2,000" And with this result the US still fled from somalia like a whipped dog.

Sense only make sense to sensible people, blame yourself for not being sensible to read sense to my writeup.

This is the same blackhawk helicopter that was gun down in Mogadishu, there was a minigun mounted on it and that makes it an attack helicopter dude.

Even if the gun was mounted it's still not an attack helos, mini gun can't save you from a rocket projectile.

Attack helos are smaller, just two person, a pilot and the weapon officer, they are smaller more agile and faster, that black hawk is used to insert troops into battle,
If you watch the film black hawk down, you will see that this black hawks were used by the rangers to fast trope Into the city, then they moved into holding patterns to monitor the mission.
Google attacct helos, you will see alot of difference.

😀😁😁😂

Have you seen a APC before?, amourd personal carrier, they are used to carry troops around, they have machine guns attached to them, because they have weapons attached to them dose that make an APC an offensive weapons,.. The Air Force one has mini sub machine guns attached to it tail section that makes it an attack aircraft 😁,

Please the USA aimed was to capture addid, they were not there to fight the whole nation or fight a war the United Nations already had a peace making force, in the country, the USA only wanted to take adid, the mission was suppose to last 45mins ,but the downing of the helos, turned it into a resuce mission which lasted 3 days, how is this so hard for you to understand.
The USA have conducted many special operations into many countries before some are successful some are not, how can you say a raid to capture a warlord is now a military Deafet,

The same addid they went looking for was still killed a month later.

Dude I don't understand your approach thou,
Use Google or watch the film black hawk down.

I guess you were in Somalia when the war happened,
For your information Durant the lone pilot of super 6 helo wrote the book leave no man behind, that was made into the movie.
I guess you are more knowledgeable than him.

The problem with you guys is that you don't learn and too stubborn to admit it.
Look at you disgracing yourself, not knowing the difference between a transport helo and attack helicopter.

Dude it's alright you have won, I don't have time to agure rubbish with anyone one.
