wonder if it will trigger any of the incoming batch of "nonviolent" recruits as to what they will actually be expected to do?Also a retelling of the operation.
18 American troops vs hundreds of thugs. This shows the value of training.
Blackhawk Down update ping. Thanks to Procon for posting.
Most of these brave soldiers died in no small part because Bill Clinton’s appointed Secretary of Defense (and former Wisconsin congressman) Les Aspin refused to send tanks into Somalia because of the “optics”. This was a Democrat produced disaster.
Ilhan Omar must be outraged about this.
Ping.
wonder if it will trigger any of the incoming batch of "nonviolent" recruits as to what they will actually be expected to do?Nearly 20 years later, the Pentagon is going to parade the upgrade because of the opinionated idiot, Genital Milley? Who knows — maybe it was in the works for years... or decades.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in complete favor of the upgrade. But I’m also in favor of an upgrade for the persecuted Haditha Marines. Remember those disregarded by that other political jackass, Mattis?
Good news, but... Why and why now? The article doesn’t say.
Waiting for ilhan omar’s view on this. To be sure she’ll have something to say about our troops that ‘did something’. Bet a buck she had a relative or 2 trying to kill our guys in that battle.
I know one of these guys. He took a bullet trying to save people.
Hopefully he’s one of the “upgrades”

I talked briefly to Warrant Officer Michael Durant back around 1999. He said his MP-5 he kept in the cockpit saved his life. He considers the issue Beretta a boat anchor. He shot dozens of Somalis that jumped over a wall one at a time towards him.
