did U.S recovery the body of the 2 Soldiers

[BlahGuyson]

Not as far as I know. Most likely they wouldn't, after they were killed, they were stripped, and their bodies paraded around the district. Not likely that they found their ways back into U.S. hands.

[core1415]

There were really three snipers but only them two went down.The other guys name was Hallings. God thanks for puttin men like them 2 on earth.

[BlahGuyson]

Mhm, Brad Hallings. He would've gone down with Shug and Gordy, however, one of the minigun crew chiefs of their black hawk got hit, so hallings took his spot, that's the sole reason he didnt join. IF that gunner hadnt gotten hit, who knows how much longer they could've lasted...

see i did a prodject on randy shughart and whe ni watched the movie again it shwoed him taking to shots with his m14? its a 7.62 that will knock you down and keep you down especialy with a SPECOPS soldier behind it but they should have given them more ammunition

[BlahGuyson]

they gave him teh standard loadout for aerial sniper cover- they didnt expect to be holding off a chopper with two soldiers against 500+ somalis. Mind you, the operation originally was to only take 30 minutes.

May these men set an example of what American soldiers are Brave, Loyal and Strong mentally, phisacally and emotionaly.

R.I.P

GARY GORDON and

RANDY SHUGART

[ogamike]

Anytime I watch this video, it makes me almost wanna cry. The song is so moving and these two great men are the angels from above. May their souls continue to rest in peace. Amen !

[Studjeff4]

so did the U.S. ever recover their bodies?

That's very gruesome what they do to U.S. bodies... but they fought well

[75thbadass]

There delta, but what they did goes with the Ranger creed, if you know it you know what i mean, you never leave a brother behind, even if it means giving it all up so they can see tomarrow, these guys are real men.

[elnino103083]

The movie doesn't show it, but just as their bird dropped them in there it got clipped as well and some of its crew were wounded. The bird that dropped Shughart and Gordon in just barely made it back without crashing itself.

[Madsniper14]

they had civilans in the crowd and the choppers couldnt open fire bec of that =(

these brave men will always be rembered

R.I.P

[Madsniper14]

im sure they knew they had no chance of getting out of there

but they fought with out fear

may they rest in peace

they are true heros

[50334]

may these brave guys rest in peace.but what i cant understand is the chopper that dropped them why didnt they cover the crash site from the air i know they didnt want another bird going down but there was a lot of somalis around plus the other chopper that was over seeing the situation could they not have provided additional back up.if the guys were fighting the somalis for an hour could the us have not sent in more cover from their base.

Brad Hallings was seriously injured in Super Six-2, but later on was able to rejoin Delta due to recovery.

p.s. He is one thankful S.O.B. I'm sure he would have gone in also, but you need the miniguns up in the air. He has used all his lives:

-Not Facing overrun at crash like Shughart and Gordon.(RIP to them, true definition of heroes)

-RPG explosion inside Blackhawk

-Blackhawk crash over friendly lines

-Recovery of his wounds

Someone really likes this guy.

[gmanflyairforce3]

They were recovered. It sucks if you plan a raid on a house to gather up some bad apples to just turn them in, and on top of that, men died in the process, good men that is.
