On October 3, 1993, 120 Delta Force commandos and Army Rangers were dropped in the center of Mogadishu, Somalia. His mission was a daylight fast attack to kidnap terrorist carrying Mohammed Farrah Aidid, who had been killing the UN workers providing food to starving Somalis. Aidid objective was control of the country by controlling all the food.
The U.S. raid went with clockwork precision, until the unexpected happened. Two U.S. helicopters Black Hawk, the soldiers of air transportation, were shot down. The mission changed abruptly to a rescue operation. Surrounded by Somali militia, a fierce firefight ensued, leaving U.S. troops trapped and fighting for their lives. The test left 18 American men killed, 70 wounded, with 3,000 Somali casualties.
This brilliant documentary tells the story of the truth “Black Hawk Down” through the memories and voices of survivors of the Special Forces. Also included are Somali militiamen when they tell their harrowing experiences of the battle.
The True Story of Black Hawk is a reminder of the courage and determination of our armed forces and their faith and commitment to never leave a man behind.

"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
Does it shock you Russ that the rest of the world thinks like Commie East Coast Jews!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahah….jokes on you cos I’m as British as it gets. Boo!
Lockley:
Writing cheers and mate doesn’t convince anyone that your’e British. The dribble in you’re diatribe is otherwise totally American Left Wing rot. You might want to examine your cognition process. I’m sure that most people find your views puerile. (look it up if you have a dictionary)
Sarge…I’m reluctant to get into an online debate with you on this subject for many reasons…I have a girlfriend, a real one, and a whole crop of pubic hair which I’ve been cultivating since I was a mere boy…these things act as natural disincentives to engage further with any of Uncle Sam’s apologists. But do you think that you cannot comment on American foreign policy unless you’ve served in it’s army? But I despise the army and all it stands for. What now for me Sarge? Should I just dig a hole, climb into it and stay there?
America has intervened in the internal affairs of every vulnerable country on the planet to exploit it for profit or to secure American strategic interests. You got a taste for it during the first world war. You can’t throw a dart at the map without landing on a country you’ve molested in some way – either through your own terrorist organization (the CIA) or the WTO and the IMF. Your military spending since WW2 equates to $23m a day since the birth of Christ. You, Sarge, are quite within your rights to ask if that’s money well spent!
Anyway…like I said…I don’t want to debate this subject. I’ve done it before with actual flesh and blood yanks who simply don’t have the facts at their finger tips. It’s a waste of time. The fact that you served in the military (voluntarily I assume) makes you unsuitable to discuss this topic. Clearly you’re a man who is easily fooled (all the way to the front line) & who likes to be told what to do and how to think… I think perhaps it’s too late for you Sarge, but not for the kids!! Think about the little chillun!
My comment was inspired by witty Dave’s typical yank outlook on Somalia. Turn the place into a parking lot, was his contribution to solving a problem that effects real people in a s*** situation. Americans seems to feel this way about difficult issues…ones that require UNDERSTANDING..the kind you get from books and discussions with, y’know, Somalians…all problems are essentially resolvable with force…that’s the extent of nearly 400 years of rumination on your continent. All problems essentially military therefore there must be a military solution to all foreign policy problems. That’s why you lost in Vietnam, Iraq, are losing in Afghanistan, will lose in Iran and North Korea.
I know you think it makes you a patriot to come on here and defend the indefensible, or to highlight your time in the same army that raped its way through South East Asia, but to me it makes you a traitor to the principles of democracy (for white men at least) that your country was founded on. Does the true American patriot just say ‘Yes, sir’ and defend his country EVEN WHEN IT IS WRONG? There were a lot of ‘patriots’ like that in Nazi Germany.
I have American friends who know what time it is, and know when to defend America AGAINST Americans like Dave and you too Sarge I reckon. I’m British and the number one shame that our country lives with, day in day out, is not Simon Cowell or Victoria Beckham…it’s far worse…it’s that we’ve become like you. A war mongering bunch of hypocrites hated the world over. It’s a shame. Anyway….Cheers for the typing practice. RSVP and all that…
Cheers Connor…much appreciated mate.
wow massive thumbs up to you james lockley
Well, if you don’t mind, I’ll put my two cents worth in. As a retired soldier who had boots on the ground in Mogadishu, Mr. Lockley, you are all wet. You don’t know your behind from a hole in the ground. Until you’ve walked a mile in my “boots” don’t pass judgments on something you know nothing about other then what you may have read in the paper or seen on TV. This documentary was very well done and tells about as much of the story as you can in an hour and a half. Mr. Angry Serb, sir, I respect your views and insight. The biggest problem, which was spelled out in the documentary, was the “Clintoon” White house. In the beginning Bush Sr sent in the Marines and the Army, to prevent food shipments from being stolen by the clans. That mission was turned over to the UN. when the Pakistani’s were killed, the UN cried and whined until Clinton sent in the rangers and Delta to get Ahdid. the rest as they say is history and covered in the documentary.
You have obviously deen smoking some good drugs, because your paranoid and think everything is a conspiricy.
Dave – the reason you American simpletons didn’t ‘make the city a parking lot’ is because you’d have cocked the whole operation up and accidentally built a swimming pool instead at a cost of billions of dollars… you’re a brainìdead, lumbering oaf of a nation, with all the wit of an comatose weasel…a parking lot!!!! Your military loses wars more frequently than it wins them (read a history book printed outside America) , and considering you only pick fights you assume you can win (and win easily) the fact that any little brown or yellow man from the four corners of the world with a bit of grit about him can show you hicks who’s boss, makes American history all the sweeter.
Wake up Dave…it’s only the good old US of A who believes its own hype…to the rest of the world you’re the boring drunk neighbour we have to tollerate at christmas but who secretly we all feel slightly sorry for because his lack of self awareness makes him almost a cripple. There he is with his socks and sandals, his USA jacket and baseball cap, shouting too loud for a man with nothing to say.
The Daves of this world are making America look even more stupid…Americans, hunt down your Daves and ask them nicely to lower their voices, pick up a book, put down the flag and take a deep breath. Jon Stewart can’t be the only American with an ounce of sense surely?????????? Is he your boldest and brightest? George Bush is a far truer representative of America than Obama….
A citizen of the world.
The only bias is mine for wondering why we didn’t go in and make the city a parking lot.
I watched way more than 3 minutes, and am still waiting for a bias.
i got through about three minutes before being too disgusted by the blatant bias to watch anymore
