Abosolutely. I know the whole little story behind that conflict.
A friend of mine was with the 10th Mountain Division..He was part of the rescue operation to get teh rangers and delta out.
He said it was CRAZY...the movie(blackhawk down) didnt even come CLOSE to how f-d up that battle was.
He was telling me that it was his first time ever engaged/engaging live targets. He said their humvys started taking fire from top side of a few buildings, he was on foot with soem other soldiers..they took cover in some door ways, scared out of thier minds...this delta guy WALKS up to him and says youd better shoot something(like right out of a movie).
So he just blind fires at the buildings..
he said a few mins later something clicked in his head and he thought "these f-ers are trying to kill ME??"he and the soldiers with him justpopped out and started to engage anything they saw.and hes never been the same since then. He ended up becomming a ranger sniper then worked for a private military contractor for 8 years as a sniper after he got out.
Hes got better stories than I
