E.g. US special forces often lose to tougher soldiers that are equipped with rusty AKs, machetes or even sticks and stones. See Somalia, Afghanistan.

The point of these threads is to fill up the catalog, not get an answer, so why would OP post in an existing thread?

It doesn't matter how much training you have if you end up in the beaten zone of a PKM out of cover.

A great soldier with a shit weapon will beat a good one with a good weapon.
But what matters most is air superiotiy and indirect fires.

Delta arguably won, considering what they faced. They were hamstrung by higher ups, ROE and having to bail out the Rangers. Left to their own they would have holed up clandestinely, interrogated the prisoners and exfilled. Or just shot all of Aidid's advisors.

Delta wouldn't have wasted the ammo. They would have thrown grenades in the meeting room right away or killed them with knives after questioning.

Rust to some, Patina to many. AK is more reliable and deliver more momentum

Could you imagine how that battle would have gone if they had the support they requested?
>AC130's and 155mm in a urban environment
Fuck advisors, Aidid wouldn't have had any people left to order.

THIS is the reason that /k/ sucks more and more over the years.
Instead of having many deeper and interesting discussions, we relegate everything to "general" threads where topics barely get attention before being buried in shit.

The mods also delete one-off questions and leave whatever /int/war shitposts their handlers want up.

we've had this 'discussion' a million times over now.
having 'strong men' in your army doesn't make it good
>US special forces often lose to tougher soldiers that are equipped with rusty AKs
is a made up bullshit question designed to waste time

We were robbed. A Spooky over Mogadishu would have been straight up COD style kino.

This tends to happen when the parameters of the mission itself go FUBAR, it's hard to come out on top when you're massively outnumbered deep in enemy territory and cut off from support, no matter how capable you are individually. US SoF defeats rarely have anything to do with operator competence or equipment quality, it's usually because intel or some dipshit armchair general screwed the pooch - or worse, some politician called for some mind-numbingly retarded mission. Or literally EVERYTHING goes wrong and all warning signs are ignored (Operation Eagle Claw).
Low-effort b8, but take your (you).

The kill count would have probably gone into the 5 digit range, and the other clans would have immediately flooded in to commit Total Aidid Death, they would have smashed babies skulls in and burn women alive.
