Just incase anyone is interested, TvLinks currently has the documentary " The True story of Blackhawk down" in their movie section.
I found it a very compelling and interesting doc.
It's a step-by-step story, narrated by the soldiers who survived and Mark Bowden ( The author or " Black Hawk Down.)
Just incase anyone was interested! :D

Please take note that when 7th RCT was in Somalia...the bad guys took a beating every time they tangled with us.

Clinton then wanted us to fall under the UN flag and wear baby blue arm bands and hats. Commandant said HELL NO!! and we turned it over to the Army.

:devious: :flag: Semper FI to the MAX!!!!

I was stationed with RCT 7 at the stadium complex (Under Col Bedard) and can attest that with the help of the "Black Boots" of the 15th MEU, we kept a tight lid on things. The first Riot in Mogadishu was quickly quelled by Marines. I remember watching a sniper crack off the face of a dumbass shooting at us. He was popping out from a wall and the sniper used the wall to direct the shot. My team went to Digfer hospital to look at the mess... they reported he had no sinuses, only 1 eye and no upper teeth... just barely still alive. They respected us, or paid the price.

Why is a non-Marine posting in this forum??

However, I am interested in what those of you that were there have to say about your experiences!
