Blackhawk Down

Post by Kwacky »

I'm sure most of you know the film about the events in Somalia when US troops faced local militia and got involved in a very fierce street battle.

There's new footage of the events from 20 years ago. Pretty hair raising stuff.

Did really enjoy the film. Now seeing that real footage it just shows how tough these guys are. It must of been an overwhelming experience but they had to get on with the tasks as they presented themselves
