Black Hawk Down

I am done with Black Hawk Down, I am planning on getting a new book soon. After the second helicopter crashes it creates more craziness. With two helicopters down the military has to send reinforcements or relief in to rescue and transport the dead and wounded back to the camp. When the reinforcements get there, their is a big battle and the Americans win. The one thing I don't like about this book and especially the movie is that, they make it sound like the Americans won, but we really didn't win. Operation Irene was a failed mission. We pretty much got our butts whooped by the Somalian terrorists. I think that we should have stayed there and whooped their butts. I think that if we would of stayed there it would of also showed more strength in America, instead we wimped out and pulled out of Somalia with our tail between our legs. I think that if you start something you must finish it. You cannot just go into a country and liberate it and then leave, you have to have stability and rebuild the government. One thing that I seriously cannot believe is that Minnesota more so the Twin Cities has the largest population of Somalie's than anyother place in the world besides their own country. I think that its great we can help out Somalie refugees, but when they open the floodgates and let everyone slide into Minnesota it's not good at all.

Black Hawk Down

I am reading the book "Black Hawk Down." Black Hawk down takes place in Somalia, when the United States come on a mission of the name Irene. The mission is to kill or capture terrorists, the mission is supposed to be in and out but when a helicopter gets shot down everything changes. The soldiers have to quickly and safely get to the crash site, secure it, and wait for more troops to come and pick them up. Under heavy enemy fire from all directions of the crash site, they see another chopper get shot down. This creates even more kiosk. So far this book seems to be almost as good as the movie. I find it interesting to read about history and wars because most times history repeats itself. Wars are one of the most important aspects when looking at history, especially in the ancient times, there was no better way to solve a problem than with knives and arrows. This was an important book to write because people can't just look the other way when things like this happen. People need to be educated on whats happening in the world so they are aware whats going on so they can be prepared for it. I think its a terrible thing when the United States saw what those Somali people did to those American bodies after we left Somalia, seeing dead American corpse being dragged behind vehicles through the streets of Somalia. This is a great book so far.

The Road

The book "The Road" seems to be a well written novel. This book reminds me of the two movies "World At War" and "I Am Legend." In both of these spectacular movies the world is taken over by some unthinkable force or aliens. In the book "The Road" there seems to be a meteoroid or something else that produces large amounts of ash. So far so good reading "The Road." I like this book much more than the "Odyssey" because I can actually understand it and it sounds like it takes place within the last century or earlier. It is more fun to read books that could actually happen in my lifetime, unlike the "Odyssey." "The Road" is fun to read cause I am imagining in my head what I would do if the world became mostly extinct. The world would be so quite and empty, I would have fun for about the first month or two doing everything I've ever dreamed of doing. After that I would become lonely and search for a companion, either a pet or another striving human. Mean while I would find a reliable car and customize it with a single bed, interior lights, curtains, and large spotlights on the top of it and different color lights and sirens for more visibility at night and so other striving humans can see me. This vehicle would increase my chances of finding someone else by a lot. Overall, the I think I will enjoy reading this book.
