  • Summary

  • What can we learn from a failed US and UN operation that was intended to help millions of starving Somalis and ended in an 18-hour battle with 18 US soldiers killed and 73 wounded, along with 500 Somalis killed and 1000 wounded, and a quick US exit?

    I hope you're ready to discuss the Battle of Mogadishu and Operation Gothic Serpent, with my New Friend Colonel Retired Daniel Roper, and how lessons of mission creep, the cobra effect, and disregard of your enemy’s logic apply to us today.
