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.

I hadn't heard about him refusing the tanks before; I thought the reason he had to resign was because he refused to let them deploy the AC-130s.
