I take some comfort that several hundred, maybe thousands of skinnys were taken away from this earth.
The public number, if I remember correctly, was somewhere around 1000. The Ranger unit that was there was Bravo Co, 3/75 Ranger Regiment. A friend of mine was assigned to that unit shortly after it returned from Somalia. The word on the street was that the number was probably closer to 5000. The Rangers, CAG, Blackhawks, and Little Birds wreaked havoc on that city once the shooting started. The 160th helicopters had Mini-Guns and the HumVees had M2, .50 cals. One of those round can go through 8 people, I think.
