What do we do since 1947..
Did you forget (Dec. 9, 1992 - Mar. 31, 1994)
"On October 3, 1993, a small force of Rangers and Deltas were sent into Mogadishu via Black Hawk helicopter and Humvee vehicles, in order to apprehend two of Somali war lord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's top lieutenants. The city was already in a near state of anarchy, with several factions fighting each other. When Aidid's followers received a tip-off that American troops were on the way, they responded with alacrity. Armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), and other light and medium weapons, they manned roadblocks, rooftops, and any other advantageous location they could find, in anticipation of giving the Americans the fight of their lives.
Almost from the minute the Army Rangers began rappelling down ropes from the Black Hawks, they came under intense enemy fire. The Rangers and Deltas were successful in capturing Aidid's lieutenants... but at a heavy cost. Within an hour of the mission's start, Somali rebels managed to shoot down two Black Hawks and kill several American troopers. What began as a routine mission that should have taken no more than an hour became a protracted 22-hour long battle that resulted in 19 American and as many as 1,000 Somali casualties." 25 Pakistani were earlier killed, had it not ben timely intervnetion from stadia based forces other rangers would have lost lives. While surrounded by hostile forces of Somalia, US rangers had to seek help from Pakistan stadium base.
