This is from the how do you like us now file:
I was watching the news this evening and saw the report about the U.S. Navy capturing a group of Somali pirates who have been hijacking ships and demanding ransom. I touched on this operation in an earlier entry here. For those of you who do not know the history between the U.S. and the Somali rebels, back in 1993, the Somalis killed eighteen Sons of America (Army Rangers and Delta Operators) and then dragged the bodies of our two Delta Snipers through the streets of Mogadishu. There were also eighty three other soldiers who were wounded in that battle. The Night Stalkers provided air support, and the Air Force PJ’s were also involved in that rescue operation. This incident was the basis for the movie Blackhawk Down. Maybe some of the Somali pirates forgot about this incident. Well I can assure them...
We didn't.
