The Battle of Mogadishu

October 3 to 4, 1993

"Black Hawk Down"

----------------------------------------

The Battle of Mogadishu is an infamous battle between US Task Force Ranger and the Somali Militia. The operation that led to the engagement was supposed to be a quick one, with the objective of capturing prominent lieutenants of the local warlord, Aidid.

However, due to a series of events, the operation quickly brokedown and an intense battle occured, lasting till the next day. During the battle, three Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, with the most notable being the two Black Hawks that crashed in hostile territory. Attempts to secure the crash site of the first helicopter led to many casulaties among the Ranger and Delta Force operators taking part in the mission.

Eventually, the Rangers and Delta Force operators would be extracted out of the hostile zone with the help of the nearby 10th Mountain Division and UN forces.

Richie Stabbed In Review 1x7

Richie: Ehh… fuck.

Ebra: Don’t move.

Richie: Uh… Is it bad?

Richie: Tell me about the fuckin’ factions again.

Ebra: Stop moving. Siad Barre caused violence, oppression. Civil War. Many factions, many groups, all fighting for power. The central government collapsed. Somalia became a failed state. Many civilians were killed. Mohamed Farrah Aidid would not cooperate with United Nations. United States sent troops to take members of his team, tried to create peace.

Richie: Yeah, but it didn’t create peace, did it?

Ebra: No, Battle of Mogadishu started when two helicopters came up.

Richie: Wait, is this shit fuckin’ Black Hawk Down?

Ebra: Black Hawk Down.

Richie: *scoffs*

Black Hawk Down (2001)

All war films walk a delicate line. You don’t want to portray war in a good light but movies are entertainment. You have to show combat without glorifying it but unless you have a good reason to, you probably shouldn’t show members of the armed forces as monsters (well, unless they're Russian). Black Hawk Down features too many characters to keep track of, the running time is way longer than is probably necessary and the character development is almost non-existent but these “weaknesses” are actually features. This powerful film immerses you in the chaos and trauma of armed combat.

In 1993, Somalia’s civil war rages. United Nations personnel are on a peacekeeping mission when the Mogadishu-based militia suddenly declares them enemies. To put an end to the conflict, United States forces make a move to capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid, the country’s self-proclaimed president. The mission should've been done in thirty minutes. Instead, there's no end in sight, with many men now stuck behind enemy lines.

This is a long movie. The theatrical cut lasts 144 minutes (and there’s an extended edition that’s even longer). Inside it, there are A LOT of characters played by familiar faces: Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Tom Sizemore, Ewen Bremner, Ioan Gruffud, Jason Isaacs, Tom Hardy, Orlando Bloom, and more. What roles do they play? It’s almost not important. I say this because once the operation goes wrong, you’ll quickly lose track of who’s who. You know you saw one soldier take off parts of their armor because “the operation isn’t going to take long and I won’t need the extra weight”. This almost certainly means they will be shot and killed at some point. The thing is, you can’t remember who it was that did that until they are hit. Once the titular Black Hawk helicopter is shot down, chaos erupts. People die, people are left behind, people are brought back to the camp to be treated and reinforcements are sent out. All hell breaks loose. Names, ranks and personal stories don’t matter anymore. It's all about the enemies all around them, the diminishing resources and the ever-increasing number of wounded. You feel like at any point the characters on-screen could be shot and killed. There are no certainties.

What makes Black Hawk Down so effective is how it shows us the bravery of the men involved in this military catastrophe and the futility of war as a whole. The militia who hound the U.S. troops are seemingly endless. When a man gets shot, there’s another right behind them to pick up their gun and take their spot. You wonder how these people can so carelessly throw their lives away. Did they not see their predecessor die seconds ago? Why do they insist on fighting? At least two scenes beg this question so vividly that they will leave a scar. One involves a woman who reaches for a gun. The other features a boy and his father roaming Mogadishu's streets, looking for soldiers. The U.S. military personnel are in a similar position. Their vehicles are constantly pelted by bullets. Inevitably, the gunner above will get hit and fall down, dead. Less than a second later, someone is ordered to take their place. At the end of the movie, we see the names of the people killed but that feels like an incomplete list. That severed hand we saw. Did it belong to one of the dead, or is it from another soldier who survived despite an injury you can never recover from?

There is so much chaos that Black Hawk Down could’ve easily become a slurry of violence - credit to the editing, cinematography, sound design, and score for making it a well-paced, "easily to follow" story. You only feel the movie’s length at the very beginning when we get at least a couple of paragraphs’ worth of text to set up the stage, and towards the end when all the soldiers are so exhausted they feel like they can’t go on any longer. It’s yet another way in which director Ridley Scott and writer Ken Nolan make you feel the way the characters feel. Then, you're hit with a wallop of a scene that shows no one - not even the people in the country you’re fighting for - can understand the inhumanity of war. I don’t know how anyone could watch this film and think “I need to enlist so I can experience this for real”. Watching it unfold from the comfort of your couch is traumatic enough.

Black Hawk Down hits some similar beats as Saving Private Ryan in that its carnage serves a purpose. It makes you wonder how anyone could choose to make war. In one scene I’ll never forget, a soldier’s gun is shot out of their hand. Their thumb is so badly mangled you doubt it can be saved. The weapon? It’s perfectly fine and fires like nothing's happened once it's picked off the ground. That moment says a lot, but rather than condemn the people who choose to serve, it shows that sometimes, you HAVE to intervene if you want a clean conscience. It fills you with all sorts of emotions in so many ways I foresee myself revisiting Black Hawk Down again in the future. Specifically, because it’s so well made on a technical level. (April 1, 2022)

It's funny leaders in this country. They do crimes.They get off of the crimes and then they're given a golden parachute.

Other leaders around the World are killed.

I believe we need the death penalty for the President of the United States for all members of Congress for all government officials.

We have no problem in killing leaders of other countries of the World or calling for them to be put to death.

So i'm fine with former bill clinton president put the death....

So I don't understand how we can hold other countries leadership to this level and kill them and we don't hold our leadership to the same sword....

The primary purpose of the invasion was to depose the de facto ruler of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, who was wanted by U.S. authorities for racketeering and drug trafficking. The operation, codenamed Operation Just Cause, concluded in late January 1990 with the surrender of Noriega.

In 2011 France extradited him to Panama, where he was incarcerated for crimes committed during his rule, for which he had been tried and convicted in absentia in the 1990s. Diagnosed with a brain tumor in March 2017, Noriega suffered complications during surgery, and died two months later.

Manuel Noriega - Wikipedia

So the United States has the most powerful military in the world.It can't be invaded and It's the richest country in the world and the u s dollar is the reserve currency of the world and countries around the world hold 46 trillion dollars in treasuries. I think that's around that much.In every year we sell 27 trillion dollars in treasuries and growing.....

But some reason are leaders.They can get away with literally murder and they get a golden parachute.... Where other leaders around the world we call further execution.....

So I believe we need the implement. The same thing here for our politicians.... For too long, we've been killing leadership around the world and we have been killing them and we've been letting our politicians get away with it.. It needs to end and they need to have the death penalty on the table....
