Yes friend. A similar lesson to heed for those that are running this planet and all decent folk's lives into the ground. BEWARE THE ANGER.....OF "PATIENT" MEN.
That’s only noise to folks who don’t have the boots on the ground knowledge. Kinda like when you’re in school and you’re being taught algebra. “What do I need to know this for?” Then as we go through life we realize that we should have paid attention to what our parents were trying to get through to us. Control the food, you control the world. Difficult concept to get through to a society that had a 40% obesity rate, where our children can turn their noses up to the food on their plates vs these children will eat the bark off a tree to stave off hunger pains.
Now a lot those Somalis who fought the Americans are in Dearborn, Michigan in government housing., while many of the American Veterans are sleeping on the streets.
That's why fighting for this country is important, but also not worth it, the government should see to it that anyone who has given themselves for this country should be taken care of for life
You can't win em all ! Bad Luck comes everyones way.The Somalian People are doing REALLY WELL NOW EH ? Half The B - - - - - - are jumping boats to The West !
How about the Military is not s Peace Keeping Force. That you then turn over to the UN. That can't even exist without the United States funding it.... As you send the Military in to kill people. Not hand out bags of Rice. You leave that to the Nuns. As you kill a Nun. The United States will burn your house down. And leave nothing standing. Unless you got a Cocaine snorting Democrat for President. That when he gets Elected says, Those are Our Planes Now. As his wife was worse then him. Lucky Donald J. Trump knocked her ass out cold. And I didn't even vote for Trump. I will this time. Time for them Democrats to get a new Job,,
My dad was among the UN peacekeepers contingent in Somalia. It is good to see him retired and still strong. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice ❤. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Opening the US-Mexico border & welcoming illegal immigrants shows how much US government & politicians really care about their own citizens.. It's been reported there's more than 800K american citizens live in poverty, hunger & living on the street while their government provide foods, homes & places to stay for illegal immigrants. Isn't that amazing?? NO!??? 😅 #10%ToTheBigGuy #WorldCops #CorruptGovernment
The father talking about his son at the end would be tear jerking if it were an actor in a movie, the fact that it was a real guy who really lost his son is such a gut punch…
Even if their deaths *would* have been in vain, WE can give their deaths at least ONE purpose: if we diligently study what happened, learn from the mistakes, and remember the lessons and their memories as we continue to LIVE into the future.
When I heard that there was a film coming out regarding this, I went & bought the book on which the film was based. It was a great read & I honestly didn't know if it would transfer to film but Ridley Scott did an excellent job. Upon release of the film I went to see the premier in Manchester, England. The film was great but what shocked me most was the fact that when the helicopters were shot down there was a loud cheer at the back of the cinema! At the end of the film when the lights came on I looked back & saw a large group of Somali men!!
In that era, they just always cheered for death. Ours, their own countrymen, their own child…they were subject to a spooky mass hysteria that just made them like sharks when blood was shed. They didn’t need un peacekeepings and humanitarian aid. They needed an exorcist on a mass scale. The idea that people can go crazy by nations was the scariest thing I learned watching news of Somalia as a kid. I never forget that if it could happen there it can happen everywhere, and I’ve sometimes felt we are experiencing it ourselves the last 5-7 years. God have mercy on us all.
I think you have misunderstood the group, maybe they were cheering about something else, or for different reasons, somalis would not cheer proudly in cenema for celebration, bc we have dignity, I say that bc I know somalis, and I am somali my self, I can imagine they did support the somalis but they would not cheer in cenema for that. Bc is not like watching football game where you have to cheer for your country.
@@A-AartI hear what you're saying but you weren't in the cinema, Manchester has a Somali community & some of the younger ones were there the only noise from the audience was from them as the helicopters were shot down! I don't know any other way to make it clear for you, but believe me it happened as I told you!
Undoubtedly it's a great film but...... He just thrown out the fact that "a little Cat saving the Great Tiger" from being slaughtered. Highest respect to Malaysian Royal Malay Regiment for saving our azz
As a person that lives in Africa something always amazes me. Like here and other spots in the world one often sees so much suffering,, poverty, run down and destroyed infrastructure, starvation etc. But somehow there is ALWAYS never a shortage of weapons and ammunition. Odd....
Extreme poverty in a nation usually coincides with how much war they also go through. The governments who do their job with many mistakes, also make mistakes that cause wars, and deadly revolutions.
@bone3594 I totally agree. They had light armored vehicles but nothing that could sustain and control the crowds. Planning on this was piss poor and good men lost their lives because of it.
yep, too many military leaders and intelligence officers are of the low intelligence end of the bell curve to make effective use of good intel of our enemies and adversaries. This is why they are so obsessed with being tactically superior in training and equipment but leaving the strategy on winning to the enemy.
If you haven't already..listen to the episode of the Shawn Ryan Show with Tom Satterly. He was among the Delta operators in Mogadishu on October 3rd. Incredible episode.
@@collins3263 Mohammed Farrah Aidids' son,Hussein Farrah Aidid, was a U.S.Marine who served during Desert Storm. When George H.W. Bush authorized Operation Restore Hope in Somalia,one of the first groups to enter were the Marine Expeditionary Force, which included one Marine acting as an interpreter, Hussein Farrah Aidid. By the time his father became the target of Task Force Ranger in 1993, the younger Aidid already had left Somalia back to his stateside life in the Marine Corps.
It's a shame for a big country like America to admit that they were saved by the Malaysian army just tell the real story what really happened in bakara as Malaysians we just want the sacrifices of our soldiers who were killed and injured in the rescue mission of the American soldier in Somalia to be honored and respect instead of being denied their sacrifices for decades like it never happened
They never want to be reminded that their policies got people killed including civilians. The Military doesn't screw up unless the do the opposite of orders and come out saving the day. Politicians and those Politicians in uniform get troops killed. We weren't even allowed to mention politics during the cold war. Our alligence was to our Chain of Command.
Every account I’ve ever heard includes that. Idk what you are moping about. The Pakistanis often get overlooked but the Malaysians became outright legends. And probably none of them did it to gain fame, but just to help.
While this was happening in 1993, I didn't realize how young these guys were. I was still a teenager, so they seemed so much older. But watching it now, they are so young. My son's age. I didn't even consider how their moms must have felt watching this play out on TV.
True,but remember they chose to have go at Uncle Sam. Nuts ! Before that it was The Italians, The Germans, The Turks, The French ,etc,etc, throughout the whole region not just Somalia. Each time these people take on a Western Power they might win occasionaly but they get A B - - - - - Hammering. Wait till they take on the Russians.@@oyay2821
Thank you for the 19th Malaysian Regimen Army who fought in a mission to save the Americans Army who trapped in Bakara. In this War,hundred thousands of Somalians died of starvation. Very heartbreaking to see the innocents dying like that
Not 19th Malaysian Regiment but the right name is *_19th ROYAL MALAY REGIMENT (MECHANISED)_* . Our country is MULTIRACIAL , MULTICULTURAL , MULTIRELIGIOUS . Malay is the NATIVE of this land and as Majority Population here in Malaysia .
The only reason Somalia operations didn't go as planned is because politics got involved in our military operations and when that's the case the outcome maybe rough.
Why did you come first place if you aren't here to stop the civil war and bring stability Somalis were still fighting while Americans were in the country Aidid was in US ship before this operation why not arresting him.
I was a medic with the British Forces for 25 years, and something resonated with me listening to this towards the end. One interviewee (the colonel) the enemy realised if they could defeat the technology, the American will could be broken, then you have a chance. I saw this for myself in afghanistan. One particular incident at the hospital after a roadside bomb lit up a patrol convoy. Horrific injuries, multiples of such. One American soldier was essentially just a torso, no legs, arms. The helicopters landed at the hospital and the american medical team who was on shift...its difficult to describe but they just couldnt function for the grief! They had to be relieved and the British team who had just gone to bed after their shift was stood back up to deal with the incident. I found this incident a profound realisation. Many times that same team had dealt with horrific injurys to afghan and allied forces out there during that tour, but when it was their people, they became non functional, catatonic, unable to process. We spoke of this for months after amongst ourselves, bringing it up with the Americans would mean a very angry exchange soon after. The American commander of the mission was a Colonel Heller if my memory serves, he went home in the days after the incident, i suppose he had some questions to answer for his superiors, and for himself. Such a deflating realisation, for many of us fighting to save lives alongside that team after this.
And I think a lot of the people the U.S. has fought over the years have realized this. There is a fair bit of arrogance because the American soldiers know in the majority of the conflicts they've fought since WW2 they are technologically superior. But strike that technology, and don't even really have to destroy it, and all of a sudden that superiority isn't so strong
If it wasn't for people like you our mucker wouldn't be here today. He took a round to his lower leg, we thought we were going to lose him. Today he's more energy with his prosthetic than the rest of the squad put together. Personally I could never have done your job 🙏
Let me tell y’all something kids! All of y’all that are planning to one day serve your country. The man next to you is a great guy and he would die to save you in a heart beat. But the idiots running the show, right above your rank, they went to college and are super afraid to make any decisions because they care more about their careers after the military than they do the kids they’re supposed to be leading. The military is 100% ran by these idiots, do not join, it is nothing like you imagine. The bravest of the brave are always being told what to do by a bunch of cowards. And that’s why I got out as fast as I could, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.
My brother in law retired 8 years ago and lives in Pinehurst NC. He was an SF guy his entire life. He just told my son "do not join for any reason!" The pushing of DEI, trans and medical experiments was enough for him and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. He has dealt with Miley many times and said people like him are incompetent and just jiggle the right balls to rise up in rank.
Half-true story. Malaysian troops from 19th Mechanized Royal Malay Regiment were asked to loaned their armored vehicles (West German-made Condor APC) to the Americans but they did not know how to operate the vehicle since the Humvee were too lightly-armored. Despite having a battle tank, the Pakistanis refused to go forward since they lacking the NVG's, so the Malaysians continuing the rescue mission, costing the live of one soldier and 9 others injured during seven hours continuos battle with insurgents.
Interesting comment. When a Canadian chopper went down and the survivors needed rescuing the Australian SASR had to do it because, surprise surprise, the Pakistanis refused.
4:02 “his ambition was to unite… Somalia” then why not just leave them alone?! Because America want to control everything. Good on Somalia for fighting back
Yesterday was my first time looking at the malbatt misi bakara movie and today is my first time looking at this documentary 😢i can say that the US soldiers really went through a lot
That's fine, but what people don't understand was that the Rangers were flawless and superior. They accomplished everything within 30 minutes. Then the helicopter was shot down. Then the second bird was shot down. And the missions changed. Today in Ranger school, part of the training includes scenarios such as Somali where US helicopters need security and rescue. These guys expected to be back in an hour. Foolishly, to lighten their load, some Rangers had little water in their canteens. Lessons learned.
I’ll always remember that day because it’s my birthday. I can’t thank are American forces for the sacrifice. I never here the appreciation for the hard working men and women that give there taxes to are country!
Next to watching this documentary i highly recommend Tom Satterly telling his experience of the Mogadishu debacle for the last time on the Shawn Ryan podcast!👌🙏
I was there at the very start as part of Air Force Combat Engineers repairing runways so rice and food could be delivered throughout Somalia. We were almost captured and we was there to help feed the them.
One thing I never could get about Combat Engineers. If there's no runway, but they need you to be there first to build a runway so planes could land, how did you get there (with machinery as well)???
It's disgusting how the Malaysian Armed Forces were not given due recognition for saving the trapped US Rangers. If it wasn't for the Malaysian APC's, the US Rangers would not have made it to the stadium. Admit it, acknowledge it, and accept this fact. It's that simple.
I can remember watching a documentary about this.One soldier said they didn't have enough room for everyone so some of them had to run to the stadium while the vehicles ran off & left them
@@Klose_11 Ya lor. Dia punya ego lagi besar maa. Mana mau mengaku negara kecik macam Malaysia yang selamatkan orang dia. Tu sebab aku tak tengok pun movie black hawk down sebab aku tahu semua tipu
@@DanielGutierrez-zu9fv Oh. We did made a movie titled Malbatt: Misi Bakara (Malbatt: Bakara Mission) which premiered recently in August. Perhaps it'll be available internationally.
I am a retired police officer from Berlin-Germany and have also experienced what it is like when people try to intervene in an operation who have no idea whatsoever. But this had reached a level that was incredibly, simply incredibly stupid and inconsiderate towards the soldiers. The strongest army in the world had to rely on the help of others because it had been deprived of all opportunities to use force at a certain moment. The forces deployed were simply allowed to die. What would have happened if the support of tanks and transport vehicles from others had not been provided? Many more wooden crosses should have been erected. The original recordings are almost unbearable today, just as they were back then. My only thought was how are the boys going to get out of there and are they even going to get out? An operation never ends the way it was actually planned, you had the feeling that there was no plan B, rather quick in quick out, it always works that way. The result is known. Great respect for the boys and never let yourself get burned like that again. You people are not chess pieces that can be replaced at will.
@@mohameddaud6061 I am a German, retired police officer and 62 years old and as far as I know, we were only in Mogadishu because of a GSG 9 operation against terrorists in 1977. Germany was never in Somalia for a combat mission. I wouldn't risk a single soldier because of Somalia. This country is a lost land for me. You yourself caused it to sink into anarchy, so do whatever you want, no one in the West has the slightest interest in your country.
Weird question but here in the US police have higher rates of spousal abuse, divorce, alcoholism, suicide, etc. Is it the same in Germany? Or is it better because it's not nearly as dangerous and you guys likely have a higher bar for entry and better training, especially when it comes to deescalation?
He (Clinton) was too busy getting his own perverse needs met (cough cough Monica cough) to devote adequate time and attention to people so far beneath him and half a world away.
The U.N. soldiers were in the movie. Rangers weren't aloud in the humvee cse they told them there was no room. That was the Mogadishu Mile. This was an American made movie about the american soldiers who lost their lives. Malaysia can make their own movie if they want about this tragic event.
@@stephenkiszenia79 That's a load of bull. Yes the UN forces 'were in the movie' but unfortunately the rescue of the American soldiers by the Malaysian UN soldiers weren't acknowledged or portrayed in the movie at all. Without the contributions of the Malaysian APCs which rescue them and brought the soldiers (including the bodies of those killed) back to safety, the American soldiers would have been doomed in the streets of Mogadishu. Btw yes we did make our own movie telling the exact situation during the rescue of the trapped Americans. To give justice to those involved that day and tell it as it was, our own movie titled Malbatt: Misi Bakara (Malbatt: Bakara Mission) continued from the scene in the movie BHD where the US General requested the help of the UN Peacekeepers in Mogadishu.
Thank you for sharing, I remember this as it was happening, as a marine vets, I was was furious. They all went through hell. GOD Bless each and every one of them. Semper Fi 86-91
I think what we can all learn from this is that America needs to worry about us. We need to quit sticking our noses into everyone's else's business. We need to worry about our borders and citizens first. If someone presents a threat and needs dealt with, we roll in hard and heavy with over whelming numbers do the mission get on a plane and leave.
Politicians and leaders will lead communities that don’t know each other to massacre themselves, but politician who know each other will not massacre each other!
My infant son had just passed when this happened, so i didnt pay much attention except to think about the complacency that our military had been in since bushes private war.
I have the greatest respect for every single soldier that was involved in this. I unfortunately was rejected from service due to a regretful juvenial choice. I can not believe that our own government would let our own brave souls fight and survive by themselves no air and full military support for them all because of politics. These great men lost their lives for politics. Those counties have been massecering each other since the start of civilization, let them continue. We are the strongest and best country, why are we losing so many of our own fighting abroad for something that has nothing to do with us.
Our own government is in the business of human, drug and organ trafficking. they are building a massive Directed Energy Weapons facility in Hardin County KY (13 miles south of Fort Knox), they will burn us out the same way they did Lahaina, Paradise, CA, Gatlinburg, Australia, Greece, and 911
It's about the company's in the USA that makes weapons of war,we have to use theup so the taxpayers can buy more from the company's that make them! Why would anyone leave 85 billion of weapons behind to our enemies??? To fan the flames of war so the elites can get rich on the taxpayers labo!!
i am not american, lbut what happened to the american souldiers in somalia is beyond disgusting, then again, what would anybody expect from a country that supported local tribal leaders or generals stealing and killing for food caches only to sell the food to buy arms, they are the scourge of africa
@OfficialRedDirtNurse I don't know what the hell ur talking about and if u think I'd back 1 of them ur wrong. Bet he could kick ur weird ass tho. What a strange thing 2 say when I'm commenting on their training? Not them.
Was in Army basic training when cadre were getting orders for Somalia June 1993. Was in AIT on Oct 3rd. We started to punch the walls in anger and kick down wall lockers. We had to be ordered to stop. My first unit got back from Somalia a few months later. I worked at the ASP. I had sgt Phipps and Sgt Floyd visit my VHA almost every day. They never talked about it. I had to read the book. It haunted me for years I could not deliver payback for Somalia. I wanted to be a Ranger. I was lied to about the army. I was Airborne unassigned. Clinton’s commander in chief pic had spit on it for a long time. That’s how angry we were.
@mikethemechanic7395 that's bad but look at it from the Somali perspective. US shot an airstrike and killed a bunch of people plus UN forces fired on protestors. When you see your own people getting killed, it infuriates people.
You bring up a good point. And in Iraq and afghanistan we saw it a few times. Its sad, but people have a saturation point no matter the experience and training. You'll see this in fights occasionally also. Its not a cowardice or anything like that for the medical and guys in the first. They'll freeze, I likened to a cpu if you tried opening everything at once. Youll get that working on it icon in the screen. After a bit of time itll get everything open, but until that clicking or typing doesn't respond. As a medic for so long you probably know how much this fight changed a lot of stuff, but a ton of medical. This got us more medical training across our whole military. But things like cat tourniquets, combat gauze or hemostatic bandages, and the IFAK trauma kits everyone has. This gear helped establish that golden hour, theres a lot more to it, but with the guys fighting now much better trained and equipped to stabilize casualties to get them to a field hospital. In the beginning We sent guys out from our teams that had injuries that were not survivable in our eyes. Missing multiple limbs or arterial lacerations we'd all make sure to say goodbye to them. The first time we saw one that bad live it was stunning, as things progressed it was not uncommon see this. But I still remember vividly that first time we saw our buddy alive. I still tear up thinking about it 😊
Next time we should just bring the food to the airport and let the people come get it I mean, if that’s the real reason we were there is to feed them. How many refugees did we bring back because Minnesota is pretty much changed its demographics.
Nothing has changed. Somalia is still violent and people starving every day. Bush didn't do anything out of true compassion. Who knows what the true motivation was. Look at what was done to Iraq. Those people still suffering from the destruction of their country. Power outages, no air conditioning and it's 128 degrees. They injure and kill more people than those helped. Politics and power is rampant..... God's judgement will be justice for the innocent. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙏👌
As their neighboring African brothers suggest, natural born thieves and liars, nothing ever changes in Somalia, not for lack of outside effort, but because of Somalis. I know this sounds harsh, truth usually is. What person uses food to buy guns to create more poverty and more starvation. They weren't killing for food, they were killing to take the food and sell it. 20 yeats later, poverty, drought amd starvation still run rampant in somalia, as do pairates, gun and arms deals May God have pity on their souls.
Somalia one become stable and law & order returned in 2006 after 6 months US engaged Ethiopian army to invade Somalia and everything changed furthermore US armt still in somalia involving the conflicts going on in somalia.
@@luigimarra4077 USA is destabilising somalia and exporting weapons to install wath they call democracy and we have a terrorist group claiming they're against democracy and wanna establish somalia an Islamic state, so don't accuse somalis for a problem comes from a super power nation.

Aidid son was a marine and fought during blackhawk down as an interpreter. When his father died he was back state side and he was named leader of his fathers faction so he then went back to somalia as leader trying to take over as president. He then signed a peace treaty with the president
Its crazy this happened so long ago but we still go into places with poor communication, shoddy intelligence, inflated egos and disrespect, hatred and disdain for the very people we claim to be there to liberate. We have been getting these same results in every “conflict” we have entered from iraq to Afghanistan. Come in chest poked out, leave with tail between your legs. Leave the Muslims alone. They love death more than u love life. Fix America first.
When Black Hawk Down was released I couldn't make myself go see it...The book had been released & I had my copy but it was another 3 years before I could bring myself to read it...when I finally did I read from start to finish...took me like 4 hours. I was so numb ...2yrs ago I finally watched the movie...seeing this director's cut today & hearing a voice describing what happened ....men died, but I will never say in vain...each man died doing his job...to say it was in vain is to invalidate everything they did...those who survived should be honored as well as those who died...the living bear the scars,physically, mentally, and for some, spiritually...they all did their job, to the best of their ability & should be honored...their place in Valhalla is secured.
That bit of cultural ignorance was bad, but also the attack by some attack helicopters on a meeting of some Habr Gedir clan officials without a good reason that resulted in several deaths is another. Sad that a bunch of infantrymen had to pay the price for the mistake of the crew of those helicopters.
@@Sleepy1988 no. It was a routine act. US soldiers were constantly shooting civilians with helicopters. The people just got fed up and decided to fight back.
I couldn't watch the movie because i had watched it in real-time. The images depicted via media were heart- and gut-wrenching. I will never forget it. God bless American soldiers. 🖤
Interesting how the story always starts with the Rangers arriving, landing at the airport. Know how that was captured? How there was a base there? The Marines landed months earlier and secured it all.
@@Blueeyedhijabi It's hard to tell a story of any combat action without some crayon crunching cretin just having to shove his nose in it, to grab some 'glory for the corps'.

Tell me how a people largely without any effective weapons, protect themselves against a smaller group of heavily armed terrorists that diverted food/supplies for their own financial benefit. You know how those guys recruit? They pull in more innocent men and children with the promise of food/housing/safety and arm them to fight further amplifying the own fight within. It happens all over the world and we can sit here and let it happen from the comfort of our own homes and pretend it’s not happening but I know I’d re-enlist (aside from the shit political decisions made that sacrificed the lives of fellow soldiers) to help aide in defending innocent civilians from terrorists like Aidid.

It's been reported there's more than 800K american citizens live in poverty, hunger & living on the street while their government provide foods, homes & places to stay for illegal immigrants. Isn't that amazing?? NO!??? 😅

Even if their deaths *would* have been in vain, WE can give their deaths at least ONE purpose: if we diligently study what happened, learn from the mistakes, and remember the lessons and their memories as we continue to LIVE into the future.

When I heard that there was a film coming out regarding this, I went & bought the book on which the film was based. It was a great read & I honestly didn't know if it would transfer to film but Ridley Scott did an excellent job. Upon release of the film I went to see the premier in Manchester, England. The film was great but what shocked me most was the fact that when the helicopters were shot down there was a loud cheer at the back of the cinema! At the end of the film when the lights came on I looked back & saw a large group of Somali men!!
In that era, they just always cheered for death. Ours, their own countrymen, their own child…they were subject to a spooky mass hysteria that just made them like sharks when blood was shed. They didn’t need un peacekeepings and humanitarian aid. They needed an exorcist on a mass scale. The idea that people can go crazy by nations was the scariest thing I learned watching news of Somalia as a kid. I never forget that if it could happen there it can happen everywhere, and I’ve sometimes felt we are experiencing it ourselves the last 5-7 years. God have mercy on us all.
I think you have misunderstood the group, maybe they were cheering about something else, or for different reasons, somalis would not cheer proudly in cenema for celebration, bc we have dignity, I say that bc I know somalis, and I am somali my self, I can imagine they did support the somalis but they would not cheer in cenema for that. Bc is not like watching football game where you have to cheer for your country.
The Somalis should be the homeless ones not Americans serving their country
@@A-AartI hear what you're saying but you weren't in the cinema, Manchester has a Somali community & some of the younger ones were there the only noise from the audience was from them as the helicopters were shot down! I don't know any other way to make it clear for you, but believe me it happened as I told you!
Undoubtedly it's a great film but...... He just thrown out the fact that "a little Cat saving the Great Tiger" from being slaughtered.

As a person that lives in Africa something always amazes me. Like here and other spots in the world one often sees so much suffering,, poverty, run down and destroyed infrastructure, starvation etc. But somehow there is ALWAYS never a shortage of weapons and ammunition. Odd....

"They didn't have good intelligence." Most deadly mistake in war. The failure makes sense now.
Poor planning due to insufficient intelligence and underestimating the whole situation led to this disaster.
@bone3594 I totally agree. They had light armored vehicles but nothing that could sustain and control the crowds. Planning on this was piss poor and good men lost their lives because of it.
If it was a fair fight with no black hawks or fighter jets. The Americans would’ve been a few days worth of work
They don't have good intelligence
*straight sending the black hawk down to hell*
yep, too many military leaders and intelligence officers are of the low intelligence end of the bell curve to make effective use of good intel of our enemies and adversaries. This is why they are so obsessed with being tactically superior in training and equipment but leaving the strategy on winning to the enemy.

If you haven't already..listen to the episode of the Shawn Ryan Show with Tom Satterly. He was among the Delta operators in Mogadishu on October 3rd. Incredible episode.
@@collins3263 Mohammed Farrah Aidids' son,Hussein Farrah Aidid, was a U.S.Marine who served during Desert Storm.
When George H.W. Bush authorized Operation Restore Hope in Somalia,one of the first groups to enter were the Marine Expeditionary Force, which included one Marine acting as an interpreter, Hussein Farrah Aidid.
By the time his father became the target of Task Force Ranger in 1993, the younger Aidid already had left Somalia back to his stateside life in the Marine Corps.
It's a shame for a big country like America to admit that they were saved by the Malaysian army just tell the real story what really happened in bakara as Malaysians we just want the sacrifices of our soldiers who were killed and injured in the rescue mission of the American soldier in Somalia to be honored and respect instead of being denied their sacrifices for decades like it never happened
They never want to be reminded that their policies got people killed including civilians. The Military doesn't screw up unless the do the opposite of orders and come out saving the day. Politicians and those Politicians in uniform get troops killed. We weren't even allowed to mention politics during the cold war. Our alligence was to our Chain of Command.

The only reason Somalia operations didn't go as planned is because politics got involved in our military operations and when that's the case the outcome maybe rough.
Why did you come first place if you aren't here to stop the civil war and bring stability Somalis were still fighting while Americans were in the country Aidid was in US ship before this operation why not arresting him.
@danieljorge746 you’re absolutely correct.
I beg to differ. US terrorists killed a bunch of civilians before black hawk down. That's why the Somalis shot it down
I was a medic with the British Forces for 25 years, and something resonated with me listening to this towards the end. One interviewee (the colonel) the enemy realised if they could defeat the technology, the American will could be broken, then you have a chance. I saw this for myself in afghanistan. One particular incident at the hospital after a roadside bomb lit up a patrol convoy. Horrific injuries, multiples of such. One American soldier was essentially just a torso, no legs, arms.
The helicopters landed at the hospital and the american medical team who was on shift...its difficult to describe but they just couldnt function for the grief! They had to be relieved and the British team who had just gone to bed after their shift was stood back up to deal with the incident.
I found this incident a profound realisation. Many times that same team had dealt with horrific injurys to afghan and allied forces out there during that tour, but when it was their people, they became non functional, catatonic, unable to process. We spoke of this for months after amongst ourselves, bringing it up with the Americans would mean a very angry exchange soon after. The American commander of the mission was a Colonel Heller if my memory serves, he went home in the days after the incident, i suppose he had some questions to answer for his superiors, and for himself.
Such a deflating realisation, for many of us fighting to save lives alongside that team after this.
Well you heard it. "This is not supposed to happen. We're americans." We're supposed to be doing all the killing, and none of the dying.
@@Hundshunt haha a lot of people have said this sadly, I'd fully agree with them!
And I think a lot of the people the U.S. has fought over the years have realized this. There is a fair bit of arrogance because the American soldiers know in the majority of the conflicts they've fought since WW2 they are technologically superior. But strike that technology, and don't even really have to destroy it, and all of a sudden that superiority isn't so strong

Half-true story. Malaysian troops from 19th Mechanized Royal Malay Regiment were asked to loaned their armored vehicles (West German-made Condor APC) to the Americans but they did not know how to operate the vehicle since the Humvee were too lightly-armored. Despite having a battle tank, the Pakistanis refused to go forward since they lacking the NVG's, so the Malaysians continuing the rescue mission, costing the live of one soldier and 9 others injured during seven hours continuos battle with insurgents.

That's fine, but what people don't understand was that the Rangers were flawless and superior. They accomplished everything within 30 minutes. Then the helicopter was shot down. Then the second bird was shot down. And the missions changed. Today in Ranger school, part of the training includes scenarios such as Somali where US helicopters need security and rescue. These guys expected to be back in an hour. Foolishly, to lighten their load, some Rangers had little water in their canteens. Lessons learned.

I am a retired police officer from Berlin-Germany and have also experienced what it is like when people try to intervene in an operation who have no idea whatsoever. But this had reached a level that was incredibly, simply incredibly stupid and inconsiderate towards the soldiers.
The strongest army in the world had to rely on the help of others because it had been deprived of all opportunities to use force at a certain moment. The forces deployed were simply allowed to die.
What would have happened if the support of tanks and transport vehicles from others had not been provided? Many more wooden crosses should have been erected. The original recordings are almost unbearable today, just as they were back then. My only thought was how are the boys going to get out of there and are they even going to get out?
An operation never ends the way it was actually planned, you had the feeling that there was no plan B, rather quick in quick out, it always works that way. The result is known.
Great respect for the boys and never let yourself get burned like that again. You people are not chess pieces that can be replaced at will.

Untold story Malaysia army rescue American soldiers in Mogadishu but not in black hawk down
It should remained untold as it it illigal war or special operation
The U.N. soldiers were in the movie. Rangers weren't aloud in the humvee cse they told them there was no room. That was the Mogadishu Mile. This was an American made movie about the american soldiers who lost their lives. Malaysia can make their own movie if they want about this tragic event.
@@stephenkiszenia79 That's a load of bull. Yes the UN forces 'were in the movie' but unfortunately the rescue of the American soldiers by the Malaysian UN soldiers weren't acknowledged or portrayed in the movie at all. Without the contributions of the Malaysian APCs which rescue them and brought the soldiers (including the bodies of those killed) back to safety, the American soldiers would have been doomed in the streets of Mogadishu.
Btw yes we did make our own movie telling the exact situation during the rescue of the trapped Americans. To give justice to those involved that day and tell it as it was, our own movie titled Malbatt: Misi Bakara (Malbatt: Bakara Mission) continued from the scene in the movie BHD where the US General requested the help of the UN Peacekeepers in Mogadishu.

My infant son had just passed when this happened, so i didnt pay much attention except to think about the complacency that our military had been in since bushes private war.
I have the greatest respect for every single soldier that was involved in this. I unfortunately was rejected from service due to a regretful juvenial choice.

You bring up a good point. And in Iraq and afghanistan we saw it a few times. Its sad, but people have a saturation point no matter the experience and training. You'll see this in fights occasionally also. Its not a cowardice or anything like that for the medical and guys in the first. They'll freeze, I likened to a cpu if you tried opening everything at once. Youll get that working on it icon in the screen. After a bit of time itll get everything open, but until that clicking or typing doesn't respond.
As a medic for so long you probably know how much this fight changed a lot of stuff, but a ton of medical. This got us more medical training across our whole military. But things like cat tourniquets, combat gauze or hemostatic bandages, and the IFAK trauma kits everyone has. This gear helped establish that golden hour, theres a lot more to it, but with the guys fighting now much better trained and equipped to stabilize casualties to get them to a field hospital. In the beginning We sent guys out from our teams that had injuries that were not survivable in our eyes. Missing multiple limbs or arterial lacerations we'd all make sure to say goodbye to them. The first time we saw one that bad live it was stunning, as things progressed it was not uncommon see this. But I still remember vividly that first time we saw our buddy alive.

The best words were the best, from Sgt Kenny Thomas. No my brothers, you did not die in vain
Its crazy this happened so long ago but we still go into places with poor communication, shoddy intelligence, inflated egos and disrespect, hatred and disdain for the very people we claim to be there to liberate. We have been getting these same results in every “conflict” we have entered from iraq to Afghanistan. Come in chest poked out, leave with tail between your legs. Leave the Muslims alone. They love death more than u love life. Fix America first.
Well said bro !
Zionist wars, American blood and treasure
Amen! They do love death! Imo
When Black Hawk Down was released I couldn't make myself go see it...The book had been released & I had my copy but it was another 3 years before I could bring myself to read it...when I finally did I read from start to finish...took me like 4 hours. I was so numb ...2yrs ago I finally watched the movie...seeing this director's cut today & hearing a voice describing what happened ....men died, but I will never say in vain...each man died doing his job...to say it was in vain is to invalidate everything they did...those who survived should be honored as well as those who died...the living bear the scars,physically, mentally, and for some, spiritually...they all did their job, to the best of their ability & should be honored...their place in Valhalla is secured.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...... America haven't even won a war EVER !!!!
Even though they always pick on smaller weaker nations ! Lol !!!
Thankyou Reagan's vice president HW BUSH for getting us involved in Somalia in 1992
The Truth has been revealed. Malayan Tiger is watching. Peace!
"Paper Tiger"😂😂😂 that tiger pur yo ass at the bottom of the ocean😂😂😂😂
22:20 bro found the root cause of the whole war, and no one noticed
Good point, well spotted.
That bit of cultural ignorance was bad, but also the attack by some attack helicopters on a meeting of some Habr Gedir clan officials without a good reason that resulted in several deaths is another. Sad that a bunch of infantrymen had to pay the price for the mistake of the crew of those helicopters.
@@Sleepy1988 no. It was a routine act. US soldiers were constantly shooting civilians with helicopters. The people just got fed up and decided to fight back.

Sorry for the loss of soldiers on both sides, However was experience gained for USA to know things ain't easy in Somalia.
This is not Afghanistan or Iraq this is somalia 😂😂😂
Wow the ending is chilling. Using soldiers as a shield from criticism on the policy side is a nice move.
I couldn't watch the movie because i had watched it in real-time. The images depicted via media were heart- and gut-wrenching. I will never forget it. God bless American soldiers. 🖤
How exactly did you watch it in real time if you watched a short clip well after the battle was over.
Actually worst defeat. Reading FROM their phases.... really frustrated.saved by Pakistan and Malaysian army.
Well. Pakistan cowardly running away after taking a few hit
Utter crap...
Interesting how the story always starts with the Rangers arriving, landing at the airport. Know how that was captured? How there was a base there? The Marines landed months earlier and secured it all.
It’s talking specifically about the battle of Mogadishu. Not the entire mission in Somalia.
@@Blueeyedhijabi
It's hard to tell a story of any combat action without some crayon crunching cretin just having to shove his nose in it, to grab some 'glory for the corps'.
For reasons I'll NEVER understand, they just don't seem to understand that the entirety of the US military, is on the same fkn team.
It’s a really healthy sign if you look at this documentary and feel absolute fury! If not, something is wrong.
It never chanches. They sent theyre warriors .like thieves in the night
GREAT DOCUMENTARY RECORDED
Yes, it's not too shabby...😁
Wasn't that illhan omar in the crowd scene?.. looked familiar..
I believe he's in Gaza now, doing his "thing" as per.
I love my country and very thankful for ever solider for what they did for me But when I seen those American soldiers on display just tears at my heart
The ranger casualties would have been much worse if it weren't for the little birds doing nonstop strafing runs that night. 160th SOAR NSDQ
God bless you brother
RIP
To the 19 US forces, one Malaysian force, one Pakistani force, and 315 Somali troops, militiamen, and civilians who were killed in the Battle of Mogadishu
My favorite part was learning there is a Black Napolean Dynamite out there.
We need to stop getting involved in other people’s wars. The politicians need to stop sending our troops in with their hands tied or keep them home. Vietnam, Mogadishu and Afghanistan haven’t we learned yet?
A lot of times, the military get sent into certain wars for more than 1 reasons, if it mean to keep world trade up, to stop terrorist, to restore peace !! That’s the job the United States adopted way back in 1917 when we entered WW1 😊
@@deoncarlton9096 Are you aware that China just completed the building of a naval base in Cambodia? And are building an airstrip on Triton Island off the coast of Vietnam? Those Vietnamese pukes are terrified and want OUR protection again. F them! We were there before because they asked us to and we were trying to stop China/ communism. These poisonous countries in Asia and around the world are scheming, hopeless and nothing but trouble. Dont want to give them money and dont want to send our men and women and military. These putrid people are begging us for help and protection. Just as the Phillippines is pertified and wants Amerjca to return. F them too.
@@deoncarlton9096 no. The US never did any of that, liar. You do the exact opposite. That's why we are kicking you out.
@@deoncarlton9096 war is war the reasons don’t matter why. We’re in a proxy war right now with Russia through Ukraine. The war mongers love war and can’t seem to stop getting us involved. We’re protecting Japan and other countries but if Japan is attacked we’re obligated to go to their aide but if we’re attacked they are not obligated to come to our defense.
@genecoppedge5972its Americans problem coming to Mogadishu was a mistake
RIP we can never appreciate the veterans that sacrificed themselves for our freedom enough God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
What freedom, going to other countries and start war BS.
How was that fighting for your freedom? You went to the other side of world and called soo many innocent people on their own land
killing and occuoying is not fredddom more the opposit
They didn't occupy anything
Those live were not sacrificed for OUR freedom... but instead as unvalued causalities of political games.
Hawk Ops will also launch with a full single-player campaign set in the Black Hawk Down incident of 1993.
We proud to be somalis and writing this black history into american and those group 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁💯
Indeed...
Coolest soldier in the wire framed glasses...excellent narrative-even he had had enough by the last day
This incident is a fantastic argument against the USA giving any humanitarian aid to certain countries.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the Somalians women and children suffer by the hands of their own paramilitaries.
It may be sad to see.. But it's up to them to fix. No Western country can help them if they don't want it first. And if they want to better their life, they need to make an effort first. This UN, US-World police, and open borders are destroying every country now.
@@Perhthat's true
@@Perhthe US destroyed Somalias future so they could do the open border policy. Its all linked. Destroy country and then send refugees to Europe or US
Tell me how a people largely without any effective weapons, protect themselves against a smaller group of heavily armed terrorists that diverted food/supplies for their own financial benefit. You know how those guys recruit? They pull in more innocent men and children with the promise of food/housing/safety and arm them to fight further amplifying the own fight within. It happens all over the world and we can sit here and let it happen from the comfort of our own homes and pretend it’s not happening but I know I’d re-enlist (aside from the shit political decisions made that sacrificed the lives of fellow soldiers) to help aide in defending innocent civilians from terrorists like Aidid.
Sometimes you throw money at the problem, some other times, you throw human beings at the problem.
Everything that could go wrong ,did ,but they fought to the end🇺🇲
They fought to the end but at end of time they end up running away with bare foots 😂😂😂
