This Side of Paradise (1967)
Captain James T. Kirk: I had to make you angry enough to shake off their influence.That's the answer, Mr. Spock.
Spock: That may be correct, captain, but trying to initiate a brawl with over 500 crewmen and colonists is hardly logical.
Captain James T. Kirk: I had something else in mind.

Battle of Mogadishu (1993)
The Battle of Mogadishu (also referred to as the Battle of the Black Sea, and Black Hawk Down in popular culture) or for Somalis: the Day of the Rangers (Somali: Maalintii Rangers) was part of Operation Gothic Serpent and was fought on October 3 and 4, 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia, between forces of the United States supported by UNOSOM II and Somali militia fighters loyal to president to be Mohamed Farrah Aidid who had support from armed civilian fighters.
On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger, U.S. Special Operations Forces composed mainly of Bravo Company 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (better known as “Delta Force”) operators, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) (“The Night Stalkers”), attempted to capture Aidid's foreign minister Omar Salad Elmi and his top political advisor, Mohamed Hassan Awale.
The plan was that Delta Force operators would assault the target building (using MH-6 Little Bird helicopters) and secure the targets inside the building while four Ranger chalks (under the command of Capt. Michael D. Steele) would fast rope down from hovering MH-60L Black Hawk helicopters. The Rangers would then create a four-corner defensive perimeter around the target building while a column of nine Humvees and three five-ton trucks (under the command of Lt. Col. Danny McKnight) would arrive at the target building to take the entire assault team and their prisoners back to base. The entire operation was estimated to take no longer than 30 minutes.
The ground-extraction convoy was supposed to reach the captive targets a few minutes after the beginning of the operation. However, it ran into delays. Somali citizens and local militia formed barricades along the streets of Mogadishu with rocks and burning tires, blocking the convoy from reaching the Rangers and their captives. Aidid militiamen with megaphones shouting, "Kasoobaxa guryaha oo iska celsa cadowga!" ("Come out and defend your homes!").

HEARTENING NEWS/Yesterday not too soon to pull troops from Somalia
Staff
SAT 12/18/1993 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
The announcement that more than one-fourth, or approximately 2,500 of the 8,200 American troops in Somalia would be headed home by Christmas was no doubt heartening news for their loved ones, and most Americans. The better news would have been that all U.S. troops were being taken out by Dec. 25.
Outgoing Defense Secretary Les Aspin says the pullout represents an "early start" in the eventual withdrawal of all U.S. soldiers by the March 31 deadline set by the Clinton administration.
A year ago, around this time, there was much unthinking support and too few cautions that American military intervention in Somalia was unwise and ill-advised, even for the noble mission of trying to feed that country's starving. The situation had inherent traps that proved only too real and led to the mission being expanded from humanitarian to policing.
When that happened, it was noted: "Disarming the Somalia populace is not only probably a practical impossibility, but also far beyond what the United States signed on for. The situation is a precise illustration of why the American military intervention in Somalia is unwise. There is no end to it, no point at which to stop. There is always something else that has to be done or what has been done before will be wasted."
It did not take a prophet to predict what would and what is happening in Somalia. The handwriting was not only on the wall, it was hanging from banners with the word "trouble" painted in bold red.

Badly damaged missile cruiser out of action
Houston Chronicle News Services
TUE 02/19/1991 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The missile cruiser USS Princeton, badly damaged by a mine in the northern Persian Gulf, has been pulled out of action and sent to a gulf port for assessment, U.S. military officials said today.
Discussing the mine blasts that damaged the U.S. warships, he said what was apparently an unusually sophisticated mine damaged the rudder and rudder shaft of the billion-dollar Princeton. The blast injured three crewmen and lifted the vessel party out of the water.
The USS Tripoli, meanwhile, remained on duty after patching a 16-by-20-foot hole in its hull blown by a cruder mine 2 1/2 hours earlier and 10 miles away.
Neal said no minesweepers had cleared the area where the explosions occurred because it was believed to have been relatively free of mines. He said the allies would "continue an aggressive countermine campaign."
The two explosions appeared to jeopardize any plans for an amphibious landing by the Marine task force positioned off the Kuwait coast - at least in the area where the ships were operating.
The Tripoli, an 18,000-ton helicopter assault carrier, is serving as flagship for a newly mounted mine-clearing operation in the area. The 2-year-old Princeton had been on anti-aircraft surveillance duty.
There were varying reports on the extent of damage to the 570-foot Princeton.
Military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was one report that the hull was damaged in the middle, with cracks in the superstructure above the main deck.
They did not say to which gulf port the Princeton had headed for repairs.
A dozen mine sweepers from the U.S., Saudi and European navies are at work to clear out the thousands of mines the Iraqis are believed to have sown in coastal waters to deter any landing by the 15,000 Marines stationed aboard about 30 ships in the gulf.
The Marines are prepared to strike at Kuwaiti beaches by helicopter and assault boat as part of the anticipated ground offensive.
U.S. officials, however, were worried by the explosions, especially because the Princeton appeared to have been damaged by a so-called "influence mine" - a device the Iraqis were known to possess but had never before used.
