Black Hawk Down post 2

Everything continues to get worse in these chapters. The convoy that was trying to get to the first crash site is lost. This is because the helicopter that are guiding them have to give their directions to the command center and then the command center gives the directions to the convoy. Because of this the convoy is getting their orders late and is making wrong turns. Eventually the convoy is forced to give up because they have more casualties than the number of people at the first crash. A second convoy is sent to the second crash site but they turn around when they see the first convoy limping back to the command center.

Black Hawk Down Chap 1-13

In these chapters it seems that everything goes wrong. Someone falls from a helicopter and the squad leader has trouble getting extraction for him. The enemy soldiers are using civilians as shields so the US soldiers cant shoot at them because of their rules of engagement. Every thing is in chaos and the US command is thinking that the mission is going fine. This shows that when you are in the fight it seems much harder then it actually is. Then things really start to get crazy, two helicopters get shot down and there is only one rescue team so the second helicopter's crew doesn't get rescued. War is a crazy thing and well laid out plans can fall apart in the first few minutes of a battle.
