a brave army ranger who was part of that mission recently took a trip back to somalia. return to mowing mogadishu. remembering black hawk down. what nobody has done at this point from task force ranger who was in somalia. nobody has gone back there a good friend of mine who was in somalia with me called me out of the blue and said jeff, are you interested in going to somalia? i was the one telling kenny do you realize how dangerous somalia and specifically how dangerous mowing dish mogadishu is? he said i m willing to go if you are willing to go. kenny thomas joins from us dallas. good morning to you. thanks for being with us. good morning. hi anna. thanks forever the interest in the story. we appreciate it. we mentioned simply how dangerous it is and i was reading you were the last one out of the helicopter. what was it that made you go back to mogadishu? that s a good question.
a big fire fight here now. i drove down an alleyway next to the target building and made a right turn on to the road. that s where i got hit by a couple of hundred to a thousand enemy fires within a few blocks. that s where the the majority of the initial fire fight that i experienced. i remember thinking when we were driving back into the city the second or third time, i know i m going to die but i know where i m going to experience my eternity. now i need to make sure my men don t die. brian: you said one of the big regrets you have is bill clinton said after that, it s not worth it, we re out of here. i can t speak for the rest of the guys from task force ranger, but for me that was probably the ultimate slap in the face after having lost so many guys on that night. get told pack your stuff up and leave somalia and we re pulling all u.s. forces
