#1 What the FUCK are we doing in Somalia? Didn't we learn our fucking lesson about meddling already? America is NOT World Police and it is NOT our job to get our people killed by involving ourselves in tribal conflicts that have been going on for centuries.

#2 This seems very suspicious. A larger force of Somalis and Kenyans escapes virtually unscathed, but the USSF troops suffer very significant casualties.

To me this looks like the "natives" either set the Americans up, or abandoned them as soon as the fighting started.
