After hearing Jocko Willink's podcast interview with Durant, I listened to "In the Company of Heroes" audiobook; quite a gripping, inspiring, and educational account of his ordeal. I look back and realize many Americans, including me, had no true idea of the circumstances surrounding the reasons the US was in Somolia. Insightful book.

So sad, how many died and how the Somalis treated the bodies. RIP Randy Shugart, Gary Gordon - 2024

@@Black-Peter They were sent to Somalia because Adid was massacring United Nation peacekeepers and desecrating their corpses all because they dared to give food out to starving Somali's who suffered under his predecessors tyranny, his tyranny, a drought, and two famines causing the deaths of over 300,000 Somali. They and other members of the United Nations didn't go because they thought it was going to be a great vacation spot they went to help the population and they were constantly attacked over it by Adid's clan.

@@Black-Peter somalis shouldnt starve each other and kill foreigners in their country or passing through the sea nearby

[@anpu369]

@@chadynss False. Western lies. Aidid is a Somali hero who has statues made for him and is celebrated to this day. Every October we Somalis throw parties and celebrations for our victory in Black Hawk Down. The numbers you listed are also false and inaccurate. "Peace keepers" or not we Somalis, despise you pale skin mutants and see you as an abomination(this is the reason we desecrate your corpses). Never think you can meddle in the affairs of Somalis and not face dire consequences. Your country wants my resources and you are a fool to think otherwise.

The person who engineered the audio on this interview should go get a job putting lettuce on tacos.
