Black Hawk Down pt4

I have read through pages 150 to 200 and the story continues to intrigue me. The war stories what I like to read. After the Black Hawk helicopter crashed it became urgent that the Americans get to the crash sight to rescue and protect their fellow soldiers. Just getting to the crash sight proved to be more difficult than anyone imagined. The soldiers did not know the streets of the city very well, and the helicopters over head were having difficulties communicating an accurate route to tkae to get to the crash sight, but far worse than all of that was that bullets were being fired at them from every direction moving down the streets was like walking into a death trap. The soldiers, since invulnerability, was being challenged no matter how well trained the American soldiers were along with being well armed with the best weapons available the shear size of the mob of people shooting at them placed their lives at great risk. The most dangerous place to be was in an intersection. The other soldiers were sacrificing their own lives to save other and that is what makes America who we are. We fight for others and sacrifice for others and that is very special. I thank the people in the armed forces for that. The men having these characteristics make us a powerful force. I feel like some people do not understand that because they just do not care but their attitude should be changed because that is just sad to see. Those peoples eyes need to be opened and I am thankful that mine have been.
