Excellent point. I think a lot of people misundertand Somalia. Less than 200 Rangers inflicted 5000 casualties with no armor and no effective air support. The Marines are going to kick a$$ and not even bother to take names.

Here, here. That oft-ignored fact was one of many reasons I kept my mouth shut and didn't post a "nuke 'em" rant since this massacre.

2-5K Marines against a bunch of ill-trained yahoos with RPGs and AKs? Uh, no contest.

I am satisfied with this response and its timing. As for the Shia following that nutjob cleric. They're next.
