[killiam1983]

Black hawk Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zachIPFW]

My dad was stationed there

[chillaxer1993]

i like how a lot of people get their military references from Call of Duty. fucking 13 year old idiots. i was growing up to discovery wings and the military channel since i was 7 years old. plus my dad was in vietnam and flew in the panama and grenade and the gulf war

[MrMIchaelSaint]

i know the movie never really showed how the USAF and NAVY were involed...they never said anythng about seals n just showd wilks a PJ?

[KevinLuhrs]

Can't wait to turn 18 and join the Army, yeah, i know it isn't as smelling the roses and freedom fighting as the Goarmy site says, but i don't care.

[juanma5536]

I really tried to see all the documentaries in relation to this operation gothic snake, and indeed that of all the videos I've seen this I have called more attention had to be shocking the fact that it's out there and see Black Hawk helicopters and UH-60 if I'm right to do this operation and then get all the wounded in battle. another thing that caught my attention is to hear someone speak Spanish there. where serious? Greetings friend and good video.

[raaxeeye08]

God bless the good somali people that dead in the hands of the warlords and american soldiers!

[clharris1995]

I saw that video was made on the 3rd if you don't mind me asking how come you guys weren't out there was it not your unit or platoon that was involved during the operation? and thank you for serving!!!!

[cpucheu]

@clharris1995 Our unit was not involved. We were not allowed off camp. I was part of an Air Force unit. They did not want us leaving the airport compound.

[clharris1995]

@cpucheu Ok yea i just saw USAF in the description and Ok i see and once again thank you for serving our country

[mamabyta]

Somalia is the only african country used for AC-130, Tomohawk missile and invaded by 25-35 nations.

[98tjc]

[Airshow2010]

Is that an AC-130 that you could see taking off?

[cpucheu]

@Airshow2010 It certainly is an AC-130.

[coby110798]

@cpucheu Did you record this yourself in somalia?

[cpucheu]

@coby110798 Yes, I certainly did.

[coby110798]

[xXBlu3Haz3Xx]

The scrap yard must had been the first thing you would see coming out of the base.

[kelboy172]

whats with all the mig 17's/21's in that scrap yard? is that the UN compound? cool video! its quite rare to see actual footage of the americans in somalia in 93. usually have to sift through all the clips of BHD

[NeilThe83]

the one that say bravo57.com at the bottom of picture.

[NeilThe83]

You can type in "Pictures of Keni Thomas" and click on the picture of him wearing desert fatigue. That's the pictures of all the Rangers and Somalia. That's where I saw the pictures of the Task Force Rangert base.

[NeilThe83]

Nah not really. I saw pictures of the Task Force Ranger base... so, I was able to identify it.

[NeilThe83]

Dude!!! That's the fucking Task Force Ranger Base... where the U.S. Army Rangers and the Delta Force Operators were stationed at.

[cpucheu]

@NeilThe83 I was right next door...at the US Air Force compound..were you there?

[Matzegurke]

@cpucheu have you met all those guys from "Black Hawk Down"?

[cpucheu]

@Matzegurke Not really ..the only person I remember was Michael Durant..before he got into a MediVac C-141

[Matzegurke]

@cpucheu thx i really respect your job

[98tjc]

[cpucheu]

@98tjc 1. Yes, we could not leave the base 2. Next time. 3. Airman First Class. 4. USAF - 437th Aerial Port Squadron. 5. It was fun to be in a different place and met people from other countries, we could not leave the airport grounds.

[98tjc]

@cpucheu thanks

[98tjc]

@cpucheu the whole situation in mog was a disaster.... only supposed to be an in and out mission but turned into hell.its crazy. its sad how many were killed. 19 was it? and like 2 times more wounded. and i noticed something weird today when i was reading the book about this.Pvt. James Martin who got shot in the head when the convoy was headed to them. i gotta friend with the same exact name and it was also spelled the same way. it was pretty weird. i think ur pretty lucky that u got to stay

[awizzard4you]

Scumbag Warlord's stealing food and supplies depriving their own people.

[HerroHerrar]

@awizzard4you the warlords dont have people, they only have weapons and drugs, the people are in total terror,

[MrVoodoo155]

In strict military terms, the raid was a success. Objective was to snatch 2 Aidid lieutenants. Objective complete

[MrVoodoo155]

In strict military terms, the raid was a victory. Objective was to snatch 2 Aidid lieutenants. Objective complete.

In strict military terms the overal operation "gothic serpant" was a failure. Objective was the get Aidid. Objective failed. Mission aborted

[raaxeeye08]

i love beautiful somalia but hate those americans who came to kill my people.

[icebukket]

obvious troll is obvious

[raaxeeye08]

cry bitch.

somalis kicked your ass lol

[icebukket]

i'm not american.. lol

[raaxeeye08]

sorry then my bad.

who would want to be american after what happend in mogadishu lol

[icebukket]

meh, shit happens. You don't choose the country you are born into

[icebukket]

Its not really the choice of the people, though. Its more the choice of the governments that control them.

[raaxeeye08]

i anderstand what you mean but most of them agree with their government when it comes to somalia.

[kage574]

No we didnt. We (the public) didnt even know our country was in somalia until AFTER all the shit went down.

[dionreedsamurai]

@raaxeeye08

you monkeys did shit against america!

they fucking killed 4000 of you off the rcord and 1000 on the record.

some victory you claim.

[xxmaximus213xx]

It was not a victory in that many U.S soldiers were killed, but it was not a defeat in that we manage to pull them all out, dead or alive. Look at it anyway you want, but the facts speak for themselves

[chillaxer1993]

the UN sucks ass. they have never gotten anything right.

- somalia

- rwanda

- bosnia

The US has always kicked ass and lead the way

[Dyad7]

great shot of the 160th little bird

[harryboyi989]

jez thats one deep hole filled with shit

[miguelpaintball21]

Somalia is almost a good place to visit

[SOCOMreviews]

Almost

[Drawnsbyme]

Hoot - Almost...

Eversman - What, you think we shouldn't be here?

Hoot - You wanna know what i think? It doesn't matter what i think. When that first bullet goes past you, politics and all that bullshit don't ....bla bla.... I know Black Hawk Down so well :P

[TriangularFilms]

too bad the movie isnt anything like the real thing at all.

[IamMaiC]

I agree, it does not even mention the navy seals that were with the group that went it. based on an actual event it said at the beginning of the movie. if you do a move do it correctly and don't leave people out.

[gmanflyairforce3]

whether true or not, I've heard that navy seals operating in mogadishu 10-3-1993 might have had publicly incorrect cassaulties figures/personel reports.

[Blackhawkpilot999]

what r u? stupid or something. u have to be a complete dumbass. the book and movie exactly alike except they dont go into a whole lot of detail in the movie

[TriangularMusic]

I have to be a complete dumbass? Backwoods retard says what now? Hey! News flash! The book, isnt the real thing moron! The movie isnt the real thing!

Even the actual Danny Mcknight said it wasnt even close to the real thing back in 1993. Get your fucking facts right before you make a fool of yourself retard.

[Blackhawkpilot999]

U must be a Dumbass. The actual event is similar to the book and the movie. Otherwise they wouldn't have made the movie called Blackhawk Down if it wasnt the same thing. They got the story from guys at the Battle of Mog. Dont start making up shit. They are closely alike. Maybe not as detailed but similar. so why dont u run off and go fuck urself and get ur facts right

[TriangularFilms]

Hey kid, is hollywood real? Do the movies they make, real? No shit the battle of mogidishu was correct moron. However, the amount of enemies firing at them was not portrayed right, there were more. Secondly, no, the movie doesnt show it right, many things are made up, to make the movie feel right. I work in the film industry, and i know how things work. Secondly, Im 34 and Ive lived through that time period. Go play your video games....kid.

[raaxeeye08]

im somali and they haven't shown all the americans we killed.

americans lie nathing knew mate.

but your right they didn't show all the shit that happend.

[TriangularFilms]

Yep, and ur right, somalies WHUPPED americans ass.

[dionreedsamurai]

@TriangularFilms

sorry but your wrong.

america killed 1000 on the record.4000 off the record.somalians killed 19.

that aint no victory where i come from.

maybe next time the monkeys wont bite the hand that feeds.

[TriangularFilms]

two black hawks down, 19 elite heavily armed american soldiers with modern technology in 1993 killed, plus a little more, agianst the poor somalis who had ak47's. Somalia owned us, be quiet ya fucking racist.

[dionreedsamurai]

it took thousands of you morons to kill 19 americans.we had light armor not heavy.we took your best and walked out after shooting down thousands in the streets if we had tanks we would have raped you even worst..last time i checked hummers and rifles was not heavy armor.poor somalians laid bleeding in the streets for days and days because there are no doctors there.what a waste of real estate somalia is.give it back to the english.somalia is americas boot shine box.

[TriangularFilms]

your stupid, im a white american. And i say somalia owns us.

[dionreedsamurai]

i bet your a zoo exhibit.

[akkalakakalakka]

@TriangularFilms And I say, you must still be in Jr. High, you'll grow up to be big and strong one day. Just keep eating your fruits and vegetables.

[raaxeeye08]

@dionreedsamurai

one of your top soldiers said "SOMALIS ARE THE TARTARS AND MONGOLS OF THE 21TH CENTRY", know you tell me who owned who? lol

[dionreedsamurai]

wow the words of 1!!!!!!!!!

thousands killed vs.19

if we went to war with the somalians we would bomb them back to the stone age.this was an attempted kidnapping it was not a war.

somalians live on average to be 49 years old. talk about pathetic.

[dionreedsamurai]

@raaxeeye08

it also didnt show the 4000 somalians we killed.tooo bad.i love watching the part where the americans wipe their asses with the somalian faces.

we lost 19 men you lost 4000 crackheads.

[Blackhawkpilot999]

i have the movie pretty much memorized 2

[buckeyepete02]

18 Americans died 72 wounded 300 somalis dead over 1000 wounded! I was there in in C co 2/14th. we gave more then we took!

[abshir25]

[awizzard4you]

Somalia has always looked like piece of trash lol

[moryan10]

@awizzard4you well,Most African Countries look trash, but compare 1980s and now... there are huge difference.

[stack150]

@moryan10

It's a pretty ironic statement coming from a moryan like yourself, Eydeed and his moryan fucked up the country.

[teabagking101]

@moryan10 it will be fixed eventually if God wills.

[moryan10]
