I’ve been lucky enough to meet Michael Durant and Lt. Col. Danny McKnight who was commander of Task Force Ranger and their stories are incredible. That entire story is a perfect example of leadership not trusting their people who had eyes on the situation.

In my top 5 movies... ever. The whole thing is inexcusable. They should have/ could have had enough guns in the air to burn that place to the ground.

Great movie about our brave men that served under a spineless pieceofshit named Bill Clinton. True. Friend of mine was there. He said it was frustrating the number of times they had significant plans but were called down due to political winds shifting. But it was what it was and they had to deal with it. He also said a 50-caliber round will leave a mark on a Somali wildly spraying rifle ammo.

It's a great training film. Lots of examples of what not to do.
They did almost everything wrong.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

One AC-130 would have prevented every bit of the mess in Mogadishu.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet Michael Durant and Lt. Col. Danny McKnight who was commander of Task Force Ranger and their stories are incredible. That entire story is a perfect example of leadership not trusting their people who had eyes on the situation. On my Walk to Emmaus one of the speakers/leaders of our small group was a retired US Army General. We later learned he was one of the soldiers in the house. Even though his character was portrayed in the movie, he told us he has never nor will he ever watch it.
