Black Hawk Down section 2

As usual in this book there is a great amount of blood and gore. In this section another Black Hawk goes down. This helicopter is taken down by an RPG(rocket propelled grenade). There is a rescue team sent out to help both of the downed helicopters, but there is miss communication from the spy copters so the rescue team makes the wrong turns and get lost while trying to get to the downed helicopters. In this attempt 8 soldiers die or have casualties. True leadership is shown by Jonathan Howe, an admiral in charge of the American Operation. The whole point of this war is to help the Somalians but i feel as if the Americans are just destroying Somalia and not getting anything accomplished.

I also think that the Americans are causing more harm then good. they need to learn that their leaders will just be replaced if they are captured.
