It is 1993. Mogadishu was crowded. Especially the Baraka Market. Somalis were there almost everyday. Militia were there too. Holding AKs, driving Technicals, and ordering food. They wore regular clothing, had bullet chains, and had guns (duh).

These dudes were under the control of General Farah Aidid. He was a bad man. For stealing UN aid. Like food, guns, ammo, and water. He armed the entire city, and controlled literally everything. These people were cruel.

But this didn’t go unnoticed. The U.S. deployed Rangers and Delta Forces at a nearby base. The operation was supposed to last 30 minutes. But instead would be 11 damn days.

Troops loaded up and flew in AH-6 Littlebirds and UH-60 Blackhawks. They touched down and were already being fired upon.

A while later, the U.S. had made no progress. While the Somalis did. One fired an RPG and shot down Super 6-1. The helo went down in a tailspin. Then…

BOOM

”We got a Blackhawk down. Repeat, Blackhawk down.” No one survived the crash. The Somalis looted their things and celebrated.

Later yet again, it happened. An RPG soared to the sky, and came down Super 6-4. Troops, militia, and civilians looked and saw another one go down. Randy Shughart and Garry Gordon went to help 6-4, which had Micheal Durant alive and paralyzed.

They were KIA. Durant was captured.

The U.S. brings foreign aid. Tanks, APCS, and attack helicopters. They wanted Mike back, and in one peace. (This ain’t canon, just for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES)

The soldiers geared up, Russian Spetsnaz are in one sections, Delta another, and many more countries forces are too.

SSGT Darrel Hughson says, “You heard about those Blackhawks? The ones that went down. Says some Delta guys were KIA.”

PFC Micheal Harrison responded, “Yea. The guys on the ground said there was hell. Even getting back here was a pain..”
