Blackhawk Down! Who Will Rescue the U.S. Army Ranger Rescuers?

Thank-you, YOUTUBE! Full Music restored to this video!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)
The Pentagon initially reported five American Soldiers were killed;[11] the toll was actually 19 American Soldiers dead and 73 wounded (another American Soldier, Delta operator SFC Matt Rierson, was killed in a mortar attack two days later).

From "Home of the Infantry" by Peggy Stelpflug and Richard Hyatt, page 406:
"In late September, elements of 317th Engineer Battalion and other units of the 3rd Brigade, 24th Infantry Division (Mechanized), commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth S. Kasprisin, participated in a standard rotation deployment of troops to Somalia to provide combat and logistics support. The deployment included M-113 armored personnel carriers, utility trucks with trailers, earth movers, and other engineer equipment."
The question is what were the 317th Sappers doing on October 3, 1993 when they and their light tanks were needed to rescue the trapped U.S. Army Rangers and Delta operators?
So who rescued the rescuers?
This is all "Deja Vu, All Over Again"---Rangers were surrounded 50 years earlier at the WW2 Battle of Cisterna:

The outcome wasn't as happy as Mogadishu, but some good things were done--that we need to be doing now!

Thank You SSG Carl Shaw

The question must be asked, why was the US military so unprepared and so unready for this? It's like they're new comers to war and mayhem. Also why didn't they go to town on this hole just like they did in Fallujah?

It's too bad the M8 wasn't ready for combat at that time. What a sight it would've been to see an actual fighting force accomplishing its tasks.

From my understanding a request went to the White House from the General in charge - the request for armor support was denied by Clinton et al. This was verified by one of my patients at the VA who I was treating for PTSD as a result of the battle.

I fully support your outrage over the censorship of music and sound! Fortunately, in Russia, this scam is with great difficulty. Thanks for the interesting video. With keen interest, keep up your work.
