Black Hawk Down was another debacle of Clinton...they asked for support and he refused..the Clintons are good at not helping our military when in need.

Les Aspin resigned because of his refusal of MG Montgomery's request for armor in Somalia...as he rightfully should have.
Sadly the Turkish 3 Star that was the overall operational commander was jailed at the beginning of the Ergodan military purge 5 years ago.

Yes Les Aspin fell on his sword for Clinton.
I read at the time that the guilt of this episode led to his death....Clinton on the other hand didn't lose a night's sleep.

Neither of the Clinton's lose a nights sleep about the decisions they make that cost the lives of other people. From Mogadishu to Bengazi they've left a trail of bodies and never lost a minutes sleep.

Thanks, @txradioguy, one of mine was in that area shortly thereafter. I remember it well.
