Battle of Mogadishu Oct. 3rd & 4th, 1993. A liberal US President seeking to deflect attention from numerous political issues and a Zipper incident at home, played the Save Africa Card. So he sent in US Combat Troops and Elite Special Forces Groups to be peace keepers. The media jumped in, recorded and played the staged DOD Water and Parachute assault landings. Plus other powder puff PR pieces to help support and deflect attention from their President's personal problems. In Memory of: Msgt Gary_Ivan_Gordon - posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor SFC Randy Shughart - posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor MSG Timothy Lynn Martin "Griz" a good friend - posthumously awarded the Silver Star. Who died trying to save fellow US Solider lives in Africa. |

#3 I remember that. They actually had network and film crews on the beaches to film the 'Marine Landing on the Beach'... I half expected Carter to be leading the landings but turned it off in disgust. One of the worst misuse of our armed forces... |
