Re: Black Hawk Down! - what an awful mess. Can be a rerun ..
I remember this on TV - I know there was a *lot* of criticism about the attitudes of the military people in Somalia & I for one pary to god that something was learned from that awful mess.
The Russians had been through the same scenarios in Afghanistan & then again in Chenya. They took a long time to learn anything from their mistakes but the mujihadeen learned a lot in how to nail even the most powerful enemies.
It is compelling reading.
