Not meant to be personal attack on you, but I personally feel that no-one, and I mean absolutely no one, can answer that question until put in the same situation, pitted against the same odds, in the same circumstances.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Hi guys,wonder if any of you guys watched BlackHawk Down?Anyway,if you recall,there is a scene where the 2 Delta Snipers requested to go in and provide cover for the Durant's downed BlackHawk as his site is in danger of being over-runned by hundreds of Mogs. Both Delta snipers were killed in the end and had their bodies dragged across the city.And Durant was captured and held for 11 days.
Just a general survey here.Will you do the same,for someone you just occasionally meet on base?
For starters,I will do the exact same thing done by the 2 Snipers.Extreme selflessness in the face of fire.And the fact that in war,its not politics or wat the commanders say.But I'm there,not to proof a political point or watever.I there to fight for those around me,and the belief that with each enemy i kill,there is one less enemy to threaten us with.And I will expend all but one round of my ammo and start hand-to-hand combat.When in danger of being captured,I will take my own life.You can have my body,never my soul nor believes.
Its good to plan of course, and like I've said, I would like to say that I would do the same as the 2 Delta operators if I were in their shoes, but my point is that I'll never know until the day I actually am in their shoesOriginally posted by SpecOps87:Hey man,Viper52,wat u said is true.But dun u think that we should plan,and think of what to do in the event we are faced with a decision to make like that in the future?I realli do look up to Shughart and Gordon.For duty,as long as there is breath,there is a oppunity of winning it.
Dun worry,I'm open to all,juz feel free to add ur comments and feedbacks![]()
i agree with viper.Originally posted by Viper52:Not meant to be personal attack on you, but I personally feel that no-one, and I mean absolutely no one, can answer that question until put in the same situation, pitted against the same odds, in the same circumstances.
I have the utmost respect for Randy Shugart and Gary Gordon (yes I know their names by heart - it shows the respect I hold them in) and I can only wish that in the same situation, I would do the same. My answer is, honestly, I don't know. I believe I would, but like I said, I won't know till I'm in their shoes.
The least we could do to honour their memory is not sound off like an 8 yr old and say "That one I also can do".WELL SAID. I fully agree.
yeah that's the answer i was gonna give (except i dunno their names like you do!)Originally posted by Viper52:Not meant to be personal attack on you, but I personally feel that no-one, and I mean absolutely no one, can answer that question until put in the same situation, pitted against the same odds, in the same circumstances.

i agree with viper.
but i still very much so respect the 2 men. for me, finding out about somalia was not thru the movie. i remember researching for some info for my cca, Defence Sci Club back in 2000, i chanced upon websites in memory of the brave men who died there. I remember being horrified as i read thru and i remember crying when i read about randy and gary.
what they did, i think no one can answer for sure if u would be able to do the same in the same circumstances.
bingo! hahaha u know about us huh?Originally posted by Groovee:haha. defence sci club not that play LAN one meh???![]()
