idwar SG in war, hit the supply vehicles.....thinned skin....low quality of supply troopers......no fuel equals no tanks.....the Iraqis managed to hit one supply convoy and capture the US lady soldier,,,,,but they failed to maintain the strategy
gary1910 SG Of course it could not be maintain,after lesson learn , the supply line is fully escorted with well armed troops, such tactic is only one shot wonder!!! That is why our logistic vehicle is the fully armoured Bronco ATTC, protected against small arms and shell splinter!!!
BadzMaro SG True that the Malaysian APC's was part of the UN operation. But u gotta admit..if it were not for the APC's, the US will be picking up more body bags. I gotta give the US credit though..they NEVER leave no one behind. As long as u are an American citizen..soldier.. the will send the army in just to get ur sorry ass outta there.
SpecOps87 SG Although in the operation to capture adid's top leaders and himself ended in disaster with the downing of 2 Blackhawks.It created many heroes of the troopers on the ground who fought for the lives of each other not for any political reasoning or motive,but purly for the survival for their fellow brothers-in-arms. Everytime the operation in Somalia is mentioned...amongst the many heros,the two most distinct who pop into my mind are Randy Shurghart and Gary Gordon.Selflessly requesting to be landed to protect Mike Durant's crashsite.People who barely know each other by looks and not name,willing to scarifice their very lives for them.That's a really noble act. A salute to Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon.
zenden9 SG LOL!!! After Black Hawk Down incident,I seriously doubt they will do it again in the same situation...... They don know they will suffer so many casualties by attempting to rescue them!
