And Dirt, the only reason we didn't attack them sooner was because we didn't want the captain of OUR ship to be killed in the process.
The US won't go to Somalia again. We went and got our asses handed to us by a rag tag bunch of warlords. (Remember Blackhawk down"? It wasn't just a movie you know.) It's a lawless nation, so we won't go in.....There is no designated enemy.....Everyone there wants to fight eachother until someone (like the US) comes in....Then they all turn on the big guy on the porch.....together....and kick his ass. Then they go back to fighting eachother. F-ck them skinnys. They can each shit forever for all I care. I'm all for putting armed guards on the ships like we do on planes. You only need about 5 or 6 per ship.
I was just wondering was anybody here in somalia?? I was, Centcom pulled my out of BNCOC to go there and help deal with this "black hawk down" mission...The real problem was the UN, not the US we were asked to follow bullshit policies and not given the reins to carryout an effective objective..There's more to this but I'm not at liberity to say here on this forum...Basically the US stepped into a turd pile and after capturing a certain warlord cleared from the country the best it could given the circumstances..I will say this I'm a 4 time vet Grenada,Honduras,Desert storm, and Somalia and through all of these deployments Somalia was the one I was worried about my life in.....shit was ugly there..I would love to see the US go back and wipe out the whole country,but problem is you can't tell the good from the bad there and their own leadership(or lack of) won't lift a finger to help themselves. I'm sorry just had to vent back to happy thoughts...happy thoughts ...cooling down getting better....yogi......yogi ahhhh
by the way I'm with you 95 coBrasvt...f them beeches
