The Battle For Mogadishu

[thegrimreaper541]

if we ever go back we better kick thier asses

[bulldogrj5020]

@thegrimreaper541 i dont think you get it

[thegrimreaper541]

@bulldogrj5020 i do get it. we went there to help them, we went there to bring food and medical supplies to the somali people and instead of accepting it they shoot down our helicopters and kill our soldiers and drag their bodies through their dirty streets. i get it very well. let them stay there and die by themselves. we'll be wasting good money and american lives going back lets just give it to people who will actually accept it. and obviuoly they have enough money 2 buy guns

[bulldogrj5020]

@thegrimreaper541 we went in to help the people yes we did, WE FOUGHT A WARLORD, we knew we would encounter resistance, we didnt expect it to be that heavy.The people were not shooting us, people on Mohammed Farrah Aidid's payroll and who followoed him were shooting us. o and by the way Somalia is a cold war weapons dump.

[DefkoTV]

We made a mistake going there. We killed our own soldiers putting them in fucked up situations like that.

[1888gp]

the usa lost this battle...the sad thing is they lost heroes like gordon and shughart only to pull out.....why send them in at all.....they should have regrouped and went in and flattened that stinking hole of a city and all the vermon that lives in it.......these muslims talk about god and then drag a naked dead man through the streets,,,,,,,scum.

[eldemon32]

@1888gp blame the goverment

[spurnthemuse]

Who won? Freemasonic-led Americans 1,000 - 10,000 -- Mogadishuans 18

[warzone520]

R.I.P Randy and Shugart

Rod aka War & The American Soldier

[jimmywarsoldier]

Hey MrPilawa...thanks for the post. Probably the same outcome "out-gunned out manned no time left to leave" As I wrote in this very special song. Botton line it was a situation where the Rangers and Delta did the best they could with what they had.

Thank you for listening.

Rod aka WAR & THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

[MrPilawa]

Wonder how it would have gone if the spetznaz were in place of the rangers and deltas. Maybe

[seminoleboy96]

@MrPilawa even worse considering they got raped by the muhajdeen

[eldemon32]

@MrPilawa worse I bet they all would die, rangers and deltas are way better than that shitty russians. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY

[specter19562]

@Warero were are you from cause you can't be from America and if you are stop talking shit about your country

[warero]

bring it on america...... vietnam did, somalia did, iraq will do it, afghanistan will do...

[xXsiLeNtXkILLzXx]

@warero the US never declared war on Vietnam so we didnt loose. the mission in Somalia was a NATO operation and was a success. the war in Iraq was a success and the war in Afghanistan is being won by a mudslide by the US. you cleary have no idea what you are talking about and must be a terrorist for supporting the NVA, SLA, Taliban, and Al Queda. if you stand against the US then you can step in front of the bullets our brave men and women shoot at you.

[killetrocitystick]

@xXsiLeNtXkILLzXx No. Women should be in the kitchen. Learn your facts.

[xXsiLeNtXkILLzXx]

[kareem2180]

[RichKilla86ers]

UNOSOM II was a waste of human life.

[XristarasGamieste]

1:18

On the right FCSgt. Randy Shughart died age 35 in operation Just Cause

On the left Mst.Sg Gary Ivan Gordon died age 33

both received the medal of honour

there are hundreds more fighting out there like them yet the media prefer to mention Lindsay Lohans drug addiction problem and similar stuff

Maybe we really need a 2012

[spinningstarr]

Rod aka War & The American Soldier

[shatomea]

I give much love and respect for our men who fought that terrible war there. Trying to simply help the Somolies and for their thanks they tried to kill us for it. To all our men who served in this mission you made us proud and honored for what you went through. You the bravest of the brave and i give you all respect for what you did there.

RIP to all those killed in that battle. May you have rest in the arms of God.

[tropicgrunt]

@jimmywarsoldier "to remember the American soldiers who lost their lives in Somalia in 1994 I believe it was."

Are you serious?? How could you have written this and not know that the Battle of Mogadishu was Oct. 3 1993??

[jimmywarsoldier]

[jimmywarsoldier]

Thank you very much.... I really appreciate your comment !!!!!

WAR

[13chase131]

@jimmywarsoldier are you an army ranger?

[jimmywarsoldier]

@13chase131

Hi Chase, no I am not an army ranger. I am a non professional song writer and performer. I wrote this song as a tribute to the Battle of Mog. I know some soldiers over there and about a year ago I was asked by one of them to write this song. I wrote and played this song about 10 different ways and finally settled on this version. I have many others but rank this one as one of my best.

Thank you,

Rod

[13chase131]

@jimmywarsoldier oh ok just wondering because my uncle was an army ranger in that battle

[paser11385]

INCREDIBLE!! WELL DONE

[sarge807]

my heart goes to the familys of the 19 casulties. god bless them. my dad found me a desert tan plate carrier at a garage sale with the name Twombly on it. specialist, 4th class, lance twombly. he was a ranger in the fight who made it out. i dont know if its his or not but i decided to dupicate his outfit to help honor and remember those who died. Rangers lead the way! hoorah!

[amino0o]

[NeilThe83]

It was around 2001... 2002. When me and my dad met that Soldier.

[NeilThe83]

By the way, I love your song. Keep it up, bro.

[NeilThe83]

He was a big touch guy, though.

[NeilThe83]

He was a big touch guy, though.

[NeilThe83]

Hey Jimmy, I remember when we had her house on rent in Brooklyn, New York. This guy was asking my dad about the house on rent. He said he was a soldier... and he fought in Bosia and Somalia. My dad said you fought in Somalia. Then he said how were they. The soldier dude said oh, they were real good. Was never able to get his name. He looked freaky... his eyes looks like the wresler Kane.

[MultiWarmachine]

my respects

[princess8320291]

[stardude289]

man poor soldiers 19 of them gave there lifes out there and 2 of them where snipers (think remembered the name of one of them) "Gary Gordon" and the other one gave there lifes to protect fallen black hawk super six four and the pilot "Mike Duran" they kill the two pilots and start dragging them toothe streets now thats evil. Good thing we are not to come there and again if not I will Nuked them all to death.

[alexlvnv1688]

We should of never been there, it was their civil war but I guess America likes to stick our noses into other ppl problems

[iamhungey12345]

@alexlvnv1688

It was sponsored by the UN.

[spencedogg17]

Can you post all the audio you have? I'd like to hear more of it...

[mastercheif2552]

My cousin was in this fight adn for the guy who made this video i want to say thank you.. This was a beautiful video adn even though i dont know you i wanna say thank you

[rinjingan]

gang ho....

[Ranger830]

Gave me chills allover Rangers lead the way all the way everyday!

[makingitthrough]

I remember the battle of Mogadishu well. Watching one of the American soldiers being dragged through the streets by a bunch of animals still haunts me. I have much respect for what the US has attempted to do for those less fortunate. It would be nice if the rest of the international community remembered some of your sacrifices as well.

[xXsankoXx]

i hate chocolate icecream!

[iamarabi2]

is there actual footage of six four or six one going down?

[jimmywarsoldier]

I don't think so... I have not seen anything. The radio chatter was given to me by a friend.

[dodob88]

can you help me? the name of the song?!?

[jimmywarsoldier]

Yes ! " Lead The Way "

[TheJames1233]

u were their? my dads friend was their and he saw his friends die... who made this song?

[WeeYoungie]

there is footage of 6-1 and 6-4 but it was only shown on TV once by the News and its in hands of the US army

[ScotchHillsPro]

Where did you get the actual radio traffic of Mike Durrant going down?

[HiredForLife24]

19 good men who sacrificed their precious lives to save others. how can men like Randy Shugart and Gary Gordon be forgotten? they gave their lives to save Mike Durant. Daniel Busch gave his life to defend the Wolcott crash. CPL Jamie Smith died saving fellow Ranger Twombly. I salute to these 19 brave men. For our tomorrow, they gave their today.

[jimmywarsoldier]

Hey !!! HiredForLife24, awesome comment on these most valuble soldiers. Thank you my friend.

WAR

[callofdutyfan8]

@HiredForLife24 your right gary and randy never gived up the just kept asking for permission to secure the crash site jamie smith died in so much pain for twombly and daniel busch well he was a great man its sad he died i also cant think of the children in the battle i saw the movie i cried when the children died its horrible what people do to each other

[sarge807]

@HiredForLife24 i have a plate carrier that has twombly's name on it. i dont know if its his or not, but because of it, my family will never forget. they will not be forgotten. god bless them

[TheSideShort]

@HiredForLife24 Hoo-ra.

[Somaliweyn7]

@HiredForLife24 save others,fuck you,you killed thousands of our people.

u save nothing,u came to somalia for oil and shit.

[HiredForLife24]

@Somaliweyn7 If the US didnt come to Somalia, then the civil war that started in 1993 will NOT end, and Somalians will be fighting amongst themselves even until now, with the country ruled by warlords like Mohammed Farrah Aidid and such. Families would be torn apart, starvation, sickness, public massacres, child soldiers, poverty and a lot more ugly stuff would happen.

[ownage1894]

@HiredForLife24 and that is happening, we left because of that battle and it just got worse over the last 17 years

[ownage1894]

@Somaliweyn7 yeah thats right, we did kill thousands of your ppl...mabey they should learn not to fucking go out of their homes and go towards a gunfight to observe it! i mean jesus...common fuckin sense. and btw...theres not enough fucking oil in somalia for anybody to give a rats ass!! keep your piece of shit country...

[squal0leonheart19]

@HiredForLife24 jamie smith was 1 of the bravest men that day and recived the medal of honor for saving twombly

[xXsiLeNtXkILLzXx]

@squal0leonheart19 no he got the Silver Star with valor device. Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon got the Medal of Honor for volenterring to secure the second crash site.

[rkjdavis]

Well, GREAT JOB! I'M gonna pass this along. Where do you perform at?

[rkjdavis]

Great vid and song. Here's to all of my fallin' brothers. Your duty will not be taken in vain. Hoo-ah!
