Twenty years ago on this day, two U.S. Special Forces Helicopters, also known as Black Hawks, were shot down in Mogadishu, Somalia, killing 18 Americans. To this day, the battle casts a long shadow on United States’ intervention in foreign soil. The Somali mission was intended to be a short one, but turned into an extended and violent b
