20 years, I can't believe it has been that long. 20 years ago the U.S. Army was shocked when it's elite units got zapped in Mogadishu, Somalia. Known as the Battle of Moagdishu by Historians, or the Day of the Rangers by Somali locals. This is what started the guilt trip that has lasted half my life. I remember being stunned and in shock watching the bodies of American Soldiers being dragged through streets of Mogadishu. These were guys I was serving with 2 weeks earlier. I just left that place. Why am I not there to help. What are the replacements we left doing? There is no way they could do as much as I could be doing over there. I knew that city well. I should be there!!!!
Still 20 years later these memories haunt me like crazy. I can't sleep right now, I pray to god for comfort at night just so I can fall asleep. I hate this....
