Hey man, fellow vet here. First off, respect to Sgt Gee and my sympathies for your loss. That withdrawal was an absolute shitshow and losing anyone in that clusterfuck must have been hard to deal with. Second off, best of luck to you going back in active. This is an unpredictable time to be doing it, and I commend you for doing so. My little piece of advice to you is to remember that your role as an officer is first and and foremost the mission, but second (and often forgotten) is the wellbeing and safe care of your soldiers. Always keep them center in your heart and take care of them. The military doesn't care about the individual soldier, so it's up to the junior officers and senior NCO's to do so. Listen to your NCO's, especially any you have who have combat experience. Lastly, many people see the military as just a job, but I firmly believe that not to be true. It is a lifestyle, and that's even more true for officers. Learn as much as you can, work as hard as you can, and do whatever you can for those who are in your care. If you do all that, you're going to be miles ahead of most officers already. Other than that, great reaction man, I've subscribed and look forward to seeing what else you've got.
Thank you for your service Marine. You Marines make Americans proud, and we are blessed for every one of you savages. I am very well researched and informed on military power, so I understand that Marines are a cut above. I wish you luck and health upon your return to the Corps, and may God protect you and your fellow Marines. Thank you.
Sorry for your loss bro, and thanks for the sacrifice you made as well. There is a film i saw recently about the Malaysian forces going in to help save these guys. If you're interested, it is called Malbatt: Misi Bakara. The special effects aren't incredible, but I watched the whole thing and thought it was pretty good. Mainly because i thibk it's an important part of the story often going unmentioned.
Great reaction my man and it was cool to see this from a Marines perspective. As many times as I've seen this movie, I never noticed the mourning band on Cpt. Steeles wrist so from one veteran to another, RIP Sgt. Nicole Gee.
@@rytechplays1341 Thank you and yeah, if I didn't have a mourning band, then I probably wouldn't have noticed it too because I probably wouldn't really know what it was. R.I.P. Sgt Nicole Gee 🙏
The reason why you did not see Pakistani tanks is because the Pakistanis withdrew from the convoy when they start getting shot at. the malaysians are the true heroes that went in with their apcs and stayed all night
Wrong. The tanks couldn't get through the narrow streets without getting stuck because they were too big. They hung back on the main road and fired shells down the alleyways in support of the withdrawal from the city. They waited with the convoy on the MSR until the Delta operators and Rangers made it outside the city limits.
@michaelserot6844 I have been fascinated with this battle since I was a kid and have watched countless documentaries and interviews with soldiers that were there.Also the news footage during the event . Watch the interviews with mike durant, also jeff struecker. Larry perino,lee vanarsdale, and kyle lams. Im not just making shit up.
A couple of facts from the actual battle: PFC Blackburn was actually 23 and had deployed with Task Force Ranger. Pilla's rank changes between his conversation with Captain Steele to when he was killed because he was promoted from Corporal to Sergeant the morning of the battle. 19 helicopters were used in the actual raid. 8 Black Hawks and 11 Little Birds. I think there were four or six MH-6 transports to deploy the Delta operators and the rest were AH-6 gunships. Pilla was killed sitting in his seat and took a round to the forehead, basically taking of the top of his head. He was firing his M-60 at the time. 5 Hawks were shot down. We see Supers 6-1 and 6-4 go down, but Super 6-2 was broadsided by an RPG that impacted between the copilot and a third Delta sniper who was manning the minigun on the starboard side as they were providing aerial cover for Shugart and Gordon at the 6-4 crash, which everyone initially survived. They were all killed (Durant excluded) at the tail section of the aircraft. It's unknown where Gordon went down and what exactly happened to Shugart. 6-2 landed at the port facility in friendly territory and the crew was rescued. Super 6-6 was shot to hell by small arms and they crash-landed at the airfield. Super 6-8, as shown, took an RPG to the main rotor, but managed to limp back to the airfield with dwindling fuel and hydraulic fluid remaining. The men ran a mile out of the city, but stopped at the MSR outside the city where the convoy and Pakistani tanks were waiting for them. The tanks were too big to move through the city so they fired shells down the alleyways during the fight. Danny McKnight didn't go out on the rescue convoy. According the Combat Controller who rode in the Humvee with him, McKnight was treated for several injuries and disappeared. A Major named Nixon took his spot as the top Ranger in the convoy. Wilkinson initially stayed to treat the wounded at the 6-1 crash site, but moved across the street to set up a casualty collection point to treat the wounded there. He ran across the road (a 75 meter sprint) 3 times that night to get medical supplies until resupply drops began to happen overnight. The Ranger who was impaled by the RPG is the owner of the hand that Othic picks up earlier in the movie. Don't understand why they moved that particular shot to where it was. That kid was placed in a sandbag bunker and died several hours later because the surgeons couldn't save him. The reason Gordon and Shugart couldn't operate the minigun is because the gun's power supply was tied directly into the chopper's power supply. After the battle, the system was changed so that the miniguns have their own power sources separate from the chopper. 18 soldiers died during the operation. The 19th man, Sergeant Matt Rierson, was killed in a mortar attack several days later.
I can see that you are passionate and dedicated to the service, so I wanted to add that you're going to be mindblown about the technology we have no compared to when you enlisted the first time. I'm jealous as hell. You're going to see personal drone swarms, robots and drones that will carry ammo and supplies, medivac drones, bullets with directional guidance meaning you will be able to shoot around corners. The Marines will be the first to get most of this new technology because they drastically changed their operations. They gave all of the Marine corps' tanks and armor to the army and air force, and replaced them with high technology for rapid movement and concealment. No other conventional force in the world has functioned this way yet. You'll be like a cross between Force Recon, Delta, SEALS, USAF PJ's, 101st Airborne, and USAF combat controllers. If they ever ask you if you want to volunteer for new technology testing, DO IT!! Then come on your channel and tell us about it. Ask if you can take videos for social media and recruiting. Some of it will be classified, but there's a lot that are public knowledge that they can share.
I learned quickly to wear something like a neck gaiter if there was a chance for hot brass to slip into my uniform. After that, the first brass casing slipped into my ACU jacket and somehow also slid into my undershirt. and worse yet, I was wearing my Bulletproof vest. By the time I actually got it out, I had this burn mark in the shape of the brass going down my chest.
If I may, after reading Black Hawk Down, there are a number of books written by guys who were there, including Mike Durant, which is a great read. There is also a book called The Battle of Mogadishu which is six first-hand accounts by Rangers Matt Eversmann, John Belman, Mike Kurth and Raleigh Cash, Air Force Combat Controller Dan Schilling and Air Force Pararescueman Tim Wilkinson, who earned the Air Force Cross for bravery. It's a fantastic read.
I seen this movie when I was like ten or eleven and I became obsessed with it and did Tons of research about For years Even go. Ing down to street view on google maps so that I could see What their route looked like from the ground. I also bought the video game But I don't think that had much accuracy
Glenn Morshower is General Shepherd in the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 & 3. I always wanted to be Marine but watching Black Hawk Down made me interested in the US Army Rangers and what the US Army have to offer.

Jason Isaacs as Steele, the man is a great actor. He can play a military role like in this movie or a villian like in many other movies so well.
It was interesting to see him as a Delta operator in The Green Zone with Matt Damon. His character was such a prick.
