I remember watching the movie and it said 1000 somalis died to 18 AmericansHow many HG died compared to the American 18? Legends indeed.
The only thing that it shows is they value thier lives more. No one talks about the hundreds they killed but everyone knows the 18. Its the same everywhere they go to war.HG pulled the dead bodies of Americans in the streets, shifting public opinion and causing an outroar in the USA.
All those that died are shahiids & won since it got the Americans to pull out
I have read estimation from 500-1000 AUN. Nothing to be proud of.I remember watching the movie and it said 1000 somalis died to 18 Americans
Top classThis reminds me of this

By most measures — training and discipline, firepower and mobility — Task Force Ranger had Aidid’s irregulars outclassed. His forces were technologically backward while the American troops had all the best gadgets that money could buy.
In the end, little of this mattered. Aidid himself proved both frustratingly elusive and far shrewder than the Americans expected. On six “snatch” attempts, the Rangers came up empty-handed. On the seventh, the enemy forces that the Americans disparaged as “skinnies” and “sammies” were waiting. In an instant, the hunters became the hunted.
In the ensuing firefight, subsequently enshrined in a best selling book and a hit Hollywood movie, American troops inflicted many more casualties than they sustained. Yet ultimately it was the Americans who withdrew from the battlefield while Aidid’s forces stayed put. As for Aidid himself, he not only remained at large but as a result of his bloody encounter with crack American warriors, he saw his own status enhanced.
In contrast, back in the United States, the losses suffered by American troops proved politically unacceptable. Mr. Clinton conceded defeat and pulled out the entire American operation.
1000sHow many HG died compared to the American 18? Legends indeed.
Had George H W Bush still been the President and not have Clinton beat him, Americans would of had your people in chains around their necks.The UN raided Radio Mogadishu and we slaughtered 24 Pakistanis in 1 day and nearly 200 UNOSOM officers were killed since the operation began. Those 18 Americans were killed in just a half day battle, doesn't even include the 50 or so US personnel that were casualties too. There was an ebook about HG war strategy which I will share one day. Unlike the dervishes, we killed more gaalo and actually succeeded in evicting them from the country.
The Americans realised they could not walk into another man's land and openly dictate their fake democracy to them. Their foreign policy was practically scarred until 9/11.

We were so hot on their tails that Afwayne's own family didn't even take their passports, they were officially stateless when fleeing.
As for the naysayers, keep up the cheap talk, we all know who were exiled to Kenyan refugee camps, crying for Belgian relief workers to save them

No one thought low class thugs wouldn’t allow paki and UN relief workers to bring food to the many starving. Clinton was a pussy and being a Democrat anti occupation. Bush senior would of hoed you guys just like the many Latin American countries he did.
Also that half day battle killed more of you hûtus than the Americans so what’s their to celebrate. Aidid was lucky Bush senior wasn’t president.
Nope it would have stayed the same situation maybe bush wouldn't even have come in the first place. They knew about our recourses yet the arabs are easier to tame. And the people that they fought where just aideeds henchmen. If all somalis in xamar jumped in no army could have taken the Americans out of xamar alive. They got lucky that we respect the Pakistanis and the Malaysians. Without them the US would have suffered a death strike myon all of their troops on xamar grounds.
