Battle of Mogadishu

[Yeehah]

3. President HW Bush, President Clinton, General Garrison and Task Force Ranger fucked up

Of course, GW Bush sent our asses over there with one month left in his term, leaving a steaming pile for Clinton. 10th Mountain had established security in and around Mogadishu (and other areas) for the purpose of moving food to starving people. That was the initial mission. Then the generals convinced Clinton to start "nation building" operations after 22 Pakistanis got killed in an ambush. Dumbass Pakistanis had their own problems. TF Ranger came in and started flying around Mogadishu like it was a fucking training event. Totally failed to coordinate with 10th Mountain and were acting like immortal supermen. Got their asses shot down and 10th Mountain had to jump through their asses to the rescue. I blame Gen. Garrison for the stupid attitude and actions of TF Ranger. If they had looked at what 10th Mountain had done and learned, it would have saved them a lot of grief. After that shit happened, Clinton said "get the fuck outta there," which was the right answer. Still took about six months to unass the AO.
