Today, Mr. Bruns was gone so Hoch was our teacher.

Somalia had lots of drug lords going around. US was dropping supplies in the cities from planes. The drug people were stealing the supplies and keeping it away from those in need. Congress decided to send 15-20 blackhawks into samalia. Mike Durant's femur broke and msised his artery by a bit but he survived. There wre about 100 enemies. The enemy made him make a POW video so he had to tell the US as much as he could without revealing his location. The US then gave the enemies 24 hrs to release him. They did. He was then shot after in the shoulder. Military was gonna honorably discharge him because they didn't think he could handle everything. Mike Durant wasn't very happy about that. After 2 months, he began to train to run a 10K. A month later, he did it and passed the requirement to stay in the military. He was successful at flying the helicopter so the military gave him back his wings. Then we watched videos about black hawk down.
