Today Mr. Hoch came over and talked about Somalia with us. He met Michael Durant and told us about his experience.
There are a lot of drug lords in Somalia. They were dropping goods and supplies in the middle of the cities. The drug cartels were stealing and keeping them from those who actually needed them. So they sent 15-20 different black hawks (helicopters) into Somalia. Mike got shot down by an RPG (Rocket powered grenade). They wanted a prisoner of war so they took Mike. Mike's femur was broken and out of his skin at the time while they're moving him around, etc. They asked him to make a POW (Prisoner of war) video. They released him due to USA giving them 24 hours or war will happen. They took away his wings cause they didn't think he was able to run it anymore and he wanted to prove them wrong and get his wings back. He passed the test again and they gave him back his wings.
We watched the scene where he gets shot down.
