What a bunch of bull. I was one of those Americans fighting the Haber Gedir and we were never afraid of them. Toughest fighting machines my ass. We kicked their asses over and over. The only reason we didn't fight to the finish was because our government quit. You're fucking high if you think for two minutes that we weren't ready to finish the game.
Let me give you a few REAL quotes: SPC Shawn Nelson "I think we should have stayed til the end and completed the mission."
SGT Randy Ramaglia who was shot and being loaded on a MEDEVAC helicopter. The MEDAC said he felt sorry for him and Ramagliy said "Man, you should feel sorry for them, cause we whipped ass." Let's take a look at the body count. What did the Gedirs loose that day 1,000 KIA. We lost 19, twenty if you count the Malaysian soldier who was also killed with us. I'm going back to Somalia and I have no fear whatsoever from the Gedirs - a bunch of rank amateurs.

come on man are you gonna brag about all the women children and tribal elders in peace meetings you showered with bombs. 1000 my foot, your guys were shaking and hunkering down in paralyzing fear, how the hell did they kill that many. I tell you, you guys are too damn soft. Either you gotta get a bunch of robots to do the fighting for you or go with a different recruiting strategy. I have one in mind if you can run it by your bosses at the pentagon. I know you are a small-timer assigned to the Somalia desk at the DIA but I will give it to you if you can get it to the higher echelons,lol.

In the meantime you are stuck with a bunch whining, snivelling brats for an armed force. whaaaaa, whaaaaa you could hear their cries all the way to N America...

I respect those Mooryaans for sure. As for sticking it out in Somalia you gotta be kidding. That is the one positive action Clinton took in his presidency which only he can claim plaudits.
You fool, every country and every guy and every madman who had a grudge against your country was about to rush in with arms expertise. Seasoned campaigners were ready to decamp from Afghanistan to stick it your gazoo. The most sophisticated killing machines were ready to be brought to Somalia not to help Aideed but to extend everyone's own agenda. Even the Russians with whom you were on friendly terms were licking their lips in anticipation to exact some revenge for America's part in their ignominious defeat in Afghan. Think hard man before you make silly statements or are you a mere NCO because I would expect an officer in your forces to have a better developed forensic skills.

I believe that even though I haven't seen it. Americans are so emotional they cry over everything especially their soldiers, they act so tough, you know with the sir yes sir crab, I used to watch this tv program called Tour of Duty and it was about the vietnam war and these american soldiers would go in the jungle and kill all these vietnamese men, and they'd help the women and children.... I mean c'mon we all know what happened at nam. any way all I want to say is Americans are liars and they cry and the soldiers wet their pants when they're afraid. Right mad mac????

I'd like to apologize to everone I insulted here. Like you managed to do in 93 again you pulled me to your level. You guys just touched a nerve here. The two things I am passionate about are Somalia and the US Army. US Army soldiers are, in my opinion, the most professional and compassionate in the world. I've served with the US Army in Haiti, Bosnia, Somalia and Desert Shield / Storm and have always been proud to do so.

That having been said I had no right to call Sweetgirl a dumb skirt. And how do I know, maybe she's a highly productive citizen. I was just pissed off.

Lastly, you guys are wrong about the fighting prowess of the US Army. In the aggregate, our troops are skilled and have heart.

Honestly, I don't care much what you think. I don't know you and I have yet to see you make a salient point on any important subject. I fought in Mogadischu, I know what I did, I know what my unit did, and I know what the Haber Gedir did. I do not need you or anyone else to tell me about the fighting qualities of these groups. You have zero credibility on the subject.

OK I apologize to everyone except this dipshit here. Salax, the challenge is still on you weasle. Do you live in Europe or the US (I know you don't have the cajones to live in Somalia)?

If you were in Hamer in 93 you know who won that fight. You might not admit it, but you know it. how many Gedirs surrounded us that night?? At least 1,000. Couldn't stop us though. Who walked away with Awale and Salad??? The only thing that shut us down was our government, you know it and I know it. You can talk smack all you want, but the truth is we didn't lose that fight.

Real name on open source would give you too much advantage. Tell you what, you contact any of the Somalis living in Pfungstadt Germany and they'll tall you who I am and they'll contact me. You want to arrange a meeting, maybe we can set one up in Eastleigh.

I was with the QRF. I was the 10th Aviation Brigade S2 which became the QRF headquarters in July 1993 (remember Abdi Hassan Awale)?

Take my word for it. Just because you see a couple of guys get emotional on TV don't mistake that for weakness. We kicked ass that night and if you were there you know it.

Let me leave you with this thought. Before the raid on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto brought his officers together and said "You have been lead to believe that America is weak. That Americans are soft. This is not true. If America and Japan go to war, we will need all of our skill and guile to prevail. America will prove to be the most ruthless and dangerous enemy our country has ever faced in her history."

After Pearl Harbor all his officers in the flotilla were celebrating the great victory. Yamamoto reminded them that they did not sink our aircraft carriers. This was a critical failing and Yamamoto knew it. He told his officers "All we have managed to do is awaken a sleeping giant."

You see a couple of guys get emotional on TV and suddenly you think we can't fight or are reluctant to. You are mistaken. I have served with this Army from Desert Storm to the Balkans. Take my word for it, we aren't afraid of anyone. We could put a division of light infantry in Hamer tommorrow if we wanted to and kill every one of you bastards. That we don't is because we just don't care about the place - myself excluded, of course.

Kissinger said that????? Never heard it before.

Anyway, Somalia is no Vietnam. In Somalia, most Somalis were for us and against the SNA. Don't even try and blow smoke up my ass and tell me that was not true. I was there. My experience comes from first hand observation. Everytime I drove to Medina, Hawlwadag, Karan - I was greeted like I was I was liberating Paris in WW II. Same when I went north of the city to the areas controlled by the Murosade. In fact, I sat down just last September with Mohamed Kanyare at Hooters in Nairobi. No animosity with him (we know a lot of the same people). Basically, of the four main clans in Mog we only had trouble with the Haber Gedir. Yo, any Abgals want to get in on this conversation here???

i am back, let me finish it now.
let us hit the nail on the head JEYLANI, i know ur not in somalia, u must be in one of the western world, did u ask urself why ur are in that country?do u have a dought that America can capture somalia in hours?
aight let us be true to each other Jaylani, America rangers lost 19 men and most of those in one night, the night they planned to capture Aidded but they didn't they get some of his top advisors which later they had to trade for the captured pilot.. it was one afternoon at around 3pm when US rangers went for this operation in mogadishu and they left their night vision devices, coz they thought the operation will be over b4 dark, but it didn't till the next day. America forces use night vision devices to shot with at night times and with out that device Somalian took advantage of them and unfamiliar enviroment.that is why marines brought the new way of fighting called MARINES OPERATION URBAN training(mout).American military fought in one urban war, hue city in vietnam. so this rangers were not familiar with urban war and also they never wanted kill non cobatants like most of the somalis were doing, most of the people were killed by stray bullets from their own somalis. in that book the author don't say it was Americans victory nor Somali's, but somalis lost thousand of people. most of the American soldiers were killed coz of their generosity, most of the somalis were using the kids as shield and who will shot someone with a kid and Ak47, the biggest riffle somalis were using was old ass RPG from Russia, danm Americans were using the latest model of weapons, i am not to trying to down grade my country but some people piss me off just talking coz they can, y dont u say the truth, do u think i am proud of the US rangers killing my peoiple , hell no, but what i dont wanna hear is Habar gidir bet America, danm . shut up and put something on ur mouth,
one more comment that book says somalis are good fighters but no technology and ticnics, and jaylane pls next time write in english coz i bearly read somali

Mohamed
I don't want to correct you here, but there's a few inaccurracies to your story. Let me review them here.

First, the raid launched on 3 October was not targetted at Aideed. It was targetted at Mohamed Hassan Awale and Omar Salad. Those two indivuals were captured and held on an Island off the coast of Ksimayu for about two months. They were not traded for Durant. Durant (the captured pilot) was released some 10 days after his capture because Aideed feared a rescue operation with the now heavily reinforced Rangers would be his undoing. The Haber Gedir were already heavily blooded and had used most of their munitions in the fight on 3/4 October. It was because of this exhaustion of resources that the Hawadle attacked them in Lamber Afr on 25 October.

Rangers, as all of our light infantry, are well trained in MOUT. Most of the soldiers killed were killed at crash site two where there were only six guys (four of whom were badly injured in the crash) who were overun (in little Tokyo), the guys killed on the lost convoy which got hammered and a few guys moving onto crash site one. Once the battle was joined, after the first two hours, we did not lose another man until PFC Martin was killed moving in with the QRF. SGT Cornell Houston also died of wounds he received during the move in with the QRF as well as one Malaysian soldier. After the fighting really picked up, using woman and children as shields was no longer effective. We simply shot them and then shot the men hiding behind them. As the QRF moved down National Street that night, if something was alive they killed it. While you are correct about the NVGs, at the end of the day it didn't make any difference. After a few hours the SNA didn't make much of an effort to overun the surrounded troops, so not having night vision turned out to not be a big deal.

Why the hostility??? Mohamed (whom I have E-Mailed before and hence am sure because of the address that he is a US Marine) joined the Corps for his own reasons that have nothing to do with Somalia. There's no conflict of interest here. The marines are not going back to Somalia. You need to take a chill pill dude.

Now, I did not say they indiscrimantly killed woman and children. You are taking that out of context. Woman and children should be safely tucked away in their houses when the shooting starts. If you start using them as spotters (which the SNA admits happened) and human shields (which it denies but the facts belie the denial) they're going to get killed. Soldiers in combat are trying to survive, to kill before they are killed. If you think for a New York minute that any soldier, from anywhere, is going to sit back and let someone take pot shots at him from behind some woman, then think again.

And take it easy on the brother about his grammar. He's working in a foreign language. Your grammar may be better but your common sense sure isn't.

You need to get a copy of Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden, as Mohamed recommended. It's easily the best written account available which explains what happened and why. It's also an easy read.

jeylani. at least u wrote in English now.
thanx, why you did not answer my question English man? Which counrty do u live? one think i am sure is u don'tlive in Somalia English man. ha!!!!!!!!!!,
why don't u talk of the main topic, why critizise other.
we all come here to agree and disagree on each other not to insult each other. u must be one of those old guys who come to the western world as teenagers while you were 30yrs and get nothing to do other than going to H/S and doing ur homework.
about US marines yea as u said they are the cowards,hi mr brave one u were suppose to be in somalia to see what they were.i will not waste anymore time on you unless u bring back the topic.
Mad MAc
i dont know if u misunderstood me. i said most of rangers who were killed that day was caused by coz of no night visions and unfamiliar enviroment.
somalians were shooting RPG from roof tops and windows and small tin made houses which the rangers were not use to to see b4.
most of the guys who were droped the black hawks were on the roof tops.if the rangers had MOUT(marines operation urban training) i dont think they would loose that much people.
MOUT it was brought by General Krulak the former commadant of the corp, coz it was not only the ranger who lost men there, but the marines lost 42 men in somalia, infact i work with guys who were in somalia and lost friends in somalia.so that was part of the unfamilair enviroment, the climite wasanother factor. we had so many marines who had being MEDVAC to germany coz of heat, bleeding from the ears and nose.
ur right dubant was not traded for the top advisors, and i said they get aidded top advisors. i could not remember their names but you get it.
sorry for missunderstanding and thanx for the correction.

"There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor — Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place."

What the hell are you talking about? We're discussing the battle of 3/4 October here, or aas my Somali brethren call it Mahlinti Rangers (sorry if I mispelled that). You need to go over to the Islam page if you want to start talking religion.

good job MAD MAC for directing her to the right room.
JAYLANE. guess what bro, i went to the websute u gave to me,and i get a name for myself mohamedAmin and i will be using that name from now on.
i think it sounds good.
let me tell u one thing to be a marine is just like to be in any other kind of job except we kick ass. so that mean u gonna get some, to be a marine is what i like to do just like youdo what u like to do. sleeping in coach with a remote control in your right hand and jerking off in the left one and at the end of the day call the social worker about ur welfare check and chewing the green man in the green coat(KHAT).enjoy that life bro, ur motto is refugee for life while marine corp motto is Semper fidelis "always faithful", so don't worry about the cowards.
go to this website www.jerkoffjob.com and u will find job there. coz marines can not do Operation Restore hope in the western countries so if u wanna as feeed u like we did in somalia during this operation please go to somalia and we will feed u there.i know u will not appreciate but we are the few the proud the marines.
tell me during that operation marine went there to fight, nope !!!!!! but to feed little jaylanis..they don't appreciate just like u but they are in their country but u left ur country and call them "Gaal" and all kind of funny names do u know guys like u are disgrace to the Somali community.
The good think is America gov't knows somalis are hardworking people with sense of humor and they know every society have the 10 percent who are idiot and act barbaric with some supperiority complex. let me not waste more time on the bro here. pls this has nothing to do with somalia and religion jaylani. to be true somalia patriotic ask MAD MAC , i e mailed him couple times of how we can help somalia to overcome their problems.

Mohamed: You have the IQ of a chicken; did u check what the lady (Sis Mich)said? She is praising Christianity. "...I'm a better Muslim now..." Who an earth asked you this question or introduced this topic. Good to hear that, though. Perhaps, soon you will develop the strenght to leave the Free Mason's Army.
I'm sure you don't know what I'm talking about.
Adoption: they indoctrinated you into their way of thinking. What do u know about adoption. Indonesian: you are adopting, a Budhist, basically an ethyeist and you will receive rewards (Ajar) for this. Read the Quran, Moron. I make 3X your salary in one year. So get some education and leave them now, before the Marines, put you in front line. This is the sole purpose Uncle Sam drafted you. To die before, good old boys from Texas and Montana.

MAD MAC: I guess, the C-130 blanketting Mogadisho with bombs was instigated by all the young children and mothers sending missiles into the air. Get a grip of reallity, my FRIEND.

Dude, your the one without a grip on reality. Let's do a quick facts check here.

There were four major clans in Mogadischuin 93. They were the Abgal, the Haber Gedir, The Murosade and the Hawadle. Three of those four supported the American presence in strong terms. Now please don't tell me I'm wrong. I was there. I drove through the different neighborhoods. We also had the full support of the Rahanweyne, The digil, most of the Darood (minus the Ogadeni). Really the only troublemakers were the Haber Gedir, the Sheykal and some of the Dir. The majority of the people supported us.

Now, for the AC-130. It doesn't drop bombs. Let's get our facts straight. It has cannon on board. These are precision weapons. They were used to destroy the authorized weapon storage sites maintained by the SNA after 5 June. If any woman and children got killed by the AC-130 it was because they were hanging out around heavy weapons after hostilities began between the SNA and the UN/US. Not a very smart thing to do. Fortuinately, that wasn't the case. The only people killed by the AC-130 were SNA militiamen.

Now, as for rules of engagement. I'm going to tell you a little first hand story my friend. The SNA was attacking us with mortars. Without going into the how, we determined where one of these crews was living and planned a raid against them. Our higher headquarters, CENTCOM, who slept safe and sound every night, said no joy to our plan because of fear of collateral damage. Then we said we'll stand off at night and blow it up with gunships. Nope, there could be non-combtants living there. Every plan we presented got shut down. We had to catch the crews in action before we could engage them. With a 60mm kneecap mortar do you know how hard that is?? Esspecially in the city. After Abdi House that was it.

The reason there was a lot of collateral damage is because during chance engagements where things went wrong, the Haber Gedir would mob the streets like idiots, threatening the troops and providing support to militiamen. That was their undoing.

And stop insulting Mohamed. You are demonstrating the tolerance of a pirhana, which is what has gotten Somalia in this boat in the first place. He's a decent guy who's worked hard to make something of himself while not loosing his identity. It's always the same thing with you guys. Someone works to make good and you have to tear him down. You want the world to be flat so you can sleep safe and sound at night.You insult his IQ when you've never met him. I love that "I make three times what you make." Well, you don't make close to what I make smart guy. And last time I checked the true measure of success is service rendered to God, Country and Mankind. I never heard dollars mentioned.

that is funny bro, but i think habar gidir has nothing to do with this , and whoever brought this topic i don't think was habr gidir.
i have friends who are habar gidir they think better than this , so we don't blame or insult them for what is in this place.
