You're really taking Alias' original position as the forum's ignorant moron.

Black Hawk Down was set in Somalia, which has never been too friendly towards foreign powers in the first place. Second, our food shipments were blocked by Mohamed Farrah Aidid, the warlord that controlled Mogadishu at the time. They were seized and sold to neighboring nations for weapons. The situation went through a series of cultural faux pas, and the U.S. made the major mistake in killing respected clan elders, which led to a unified uprising against American forces.
