But we still can't explain it.

If that wasn't it, I don't know.

I mean, is somebody down there throwing projectiles back at us?

I mean, this is at the range.

We're training, right?

Never, mystery never to be solved.

But the bottom line is one of my other self shoot downs is written off because of the squid brown theory.

Damn.

Thank you, Cliff.

So now we're getting ready to go to Somalia.

And Somalia happens because the Somalis ambush a group of Pakistanis back in June of 1993.

You know, the initial invasion is in December of 92, where we're going in basically, when I say we, the US military is going in to provide security for the relief operations because the warlords are stealing all the food.

So the initial invasion is...

conventional forces primarily.

There's some soft, but not a lot.

Marines involved, amphibious landings, all goes very, very well.

As I know it, I've never spoken to a person who says they fired around during that initial invasion.

The Somalis are just backing off.

They know this is the U.S.

military and we can't screw with them.
