@@joythought No of course not, as a good Christian I deplore murder and any form of suffering. Looking at this from a geopolitical perspective though is potentially valid as by intervening the US would have created a common enemy for the Hutus and Tutsis to fight against including themselves, also looking at how the US waged war against Afghanistan and Iraq, we can see how broadly respected institutions were torn down and new ones that had no legitimacy in the eyes of the people were created. It goes without saying that such suffering should require and should have required intervention but with the benefit of foresight we can see how US intervention would have had a detrimental affect on Rwanda, can we really say that Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan have greatly benefited from such US intervention?

@edwardmoore7352 Месяц назад

They were very well aware of the risks and the pilots were moving from one location to another. The Black Hawks were being used to provide support. The Black Hawks were also being used to scare away the local populace. Just as the video stated, the Somalis had received training from other groups on how to engage helicopters. They also put timers on the RPGs so they could air burst them. With combination of those two factors, the Somalis were able to effectively engage the Black Hawks

@dan_38 Месяц назад

@edwardmoore7352 apparently, there's also statements that the heads in charge had lulled themselves to the belief that doing the exact same actions on every encounter would produce the same results, so no major changes to how a raid was done; meaning that the Somalis just had to time what event was next to get the best "results"

@edwardmoore7352 Месяц назад

@@dan_38 true. The leadership definitely should have changed tactics. It worthy to point out that Washington was demanding results and previous tactics in the other raids were working. So, why change it now when they had pressure on them? Of course, that doesn’t excuse their leadership from correcting those actions Speaking of leadership, I would honestly argue that it was poor communication and leadership that led to the outcome of the battle.

Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart are Real American Heroes. They went down from that helicopter knowing that the chances of their survival were not guaranteed but they did so anyway to save a fellow soldier. Unfortunately the rescue mission did not arrive in time but the two of them valiantly held off an overwhelming horde of attackers for quite some time before ultimately succumbing. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Thank You Griffin, for covering this battle. I was stationed in Panama, in a U.S. Army Aviation unit during this time (total time in service, 1991-1998). This hit us very hard. My unit had stepped up training in 1992 & 93, and we didn't know why. We'd were flying A LOT, for a unit, that, was suppose to be winding down. We had the old UH-1 Huey's, and the U.S. Army was phasing them out. With as much as we flew & trained, you'd think the next Gulf War was right around the corner. I'd have to look, but I think you covered Operation: Just Cause (which, would have to be a series. I served with guys who were involved in that conflict. To this day, little is really talked about that conflict.)

Surprisingly, he hasn't covered Just Cause. I agree, that would be an excellent subject to cover.

The background for the battle is essential. The Somali civilians were generally supportive of the Americans until the Abdi House Raid or Operation Michigan. The Americans claimed they were killing the milita but they actually killed a bunch of civilians that were trying to STOP Aidid and thw milita. The Somali civilians heard about this blatant act of terrorism and joined the militia in attacking the Americans during black hawk down. The anger at American terrorism also led to pilots being dragged through the streets post-battle. The American military realised they didn't look good so commissioned military vehicles for a propoganda movie called black hawk down

Anyone who is fighting a enemy using human shields and force to fight back aren't war criminals and did nothing wrong. Anyone who does this tactic are no longer protected under any article of war nor should be treated with respect. If this happens it should be understand that this is a lose lose but to the people force into that moment fighting a enemy that uses people as shields in a life or death struggle you have still the right to defend yourself.

Civilians also tend to disperse pretty quick when the fighting starts, especially if it's localized to a single street. That battle lasted for an hour, and the civilians remained there the entire time?
