History Goon Ep. 25 - Battle of Mogadishu Pt. 1 - Irene

This episode is part 1 of one of the most harrowing 24 hours in US Special Forces history. It all started as a UN Peacekeeping operation to try and feed the starving people of Somalia. Warlords had taken control of the country and started weaponizing hunger and food against their own people. After months of UN forces getting attacked and ambushed, they would have a helicopter shot down. The crew was killed and mutilated before being dragged through the streets, now it was time to try and stop the fighting. US Special Forces consisting of Army Rangers and Delta Operators would be sent into the city of Mogadishu to capture the warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid whose forces were responsible for hijacking UN food trucks and then killing people at the food handoff points. The Rangers and Delta teams got prepared, the word was given that the mission was a go. Irene.
