- U.S. Marine Corps raid on Bakaara Market on January 11th, 1993. Units from MP CO, HQ BN, 1st MARDIV, and others. Yes, the same Bakaara Market from Call of Duty, Modern Warfare III (WM3). Enjoy!
The 1st Marine Division is also known as the Old Breed and is the largest in the USMC.
Only today i realize that the channel is from that guy on 0:30, wow!!
Isaac De Paula - In the flesh! 😉
@@CaptMac-zw8mz if you dont mind me asking, how do you feel of your participation in Restore Hope nearly 30 years on? Any regrets or wishes for "what could have been", given Somalia is today?
TYFYS.
Tk Sim - Hello, my only regret is they didn’t leave us there long enough to finish the job. I truly felt like we made fantastic progress. I distinctly remember what Mogadishu looked like the day we landed and the day we left. We had a tremendously positive impact early on. However, Al-Qaeda came into theater about 3 months after we arrived and things got serious quickly. Initially we rode around with no armor and our HMMWV doors off. We had just settled a 2-year civil war and folks were generally happy. But there’s always that 5%. In the end, we should have done more to help support the transition government and properly vetted those coming into power. It’s a shame as we did a lot of good early on that seemed to be wasted in the end. Apologies for the delayed response, for some reason I was not notified of your post. God Bless!
@@CaptMac-zw8mz The problem of UNOSOM II had a name, Clinton...
Isaac De Paula - spot on. I was trying not to get political, but you nailed it. Semper Fi Marine!
"The more weapons you get of the street the saver it gets."
That from an American 🤣🤣🤣
They don’t have a Constitution nor Bill of Rights in Somalia. It was lawless when we arrived and civil when we departed. All in a days work.

Rah Sir
@@CaptMac-zw8mz Lies
You wish you was American 😆
The reason why it happened.. US Marines did a great job but then the people turned on them because they marines were not going through the targets houses but goin through the civilians who are helping them.. Lots of innocent civilians died helping the United States.. and then the wor lords used the people against Marines.. knowing that every Somalian was armed and dangerous
the reason they turned against america was coz america killed civllians unprovoked and they took their guns.
My dad is a marine this was the 1st place he went in 1992 we are from texas and moved to California to be with him in Temecula near camp pendleton but he said them civilians were good with a sling shot
You are truly the soldier at 0:30? Or fan CZcams channel?
Yes, that’s me. And I’m not a solider, I’m a Marine. 😉
Don't call a Marine a soldier
Somalia hanoolaato 🇸🇴🦁 America couldn't invade
😅😅🇸🇴🩸❤🫀🧠
The United States Marine Corps stopped a 2-year civil war in its tracks.
CZcams doing it's dirty work 😭 why does it translate to "Somalia can't survive" it's meant to translate to long live Somalia.
@@CaptMac-zw8mz they ddnt stop shit, they created more savegry by targeting civillians. at least the warlords ddnt target civillians
ok, now i remember the COD MW3 mission were you fight the rebals
Can you check up on Mogadishu today to
See how that city went from that a war torn fighting ground where everything was bombed to a beautiful place it is now
It’s not finish yet but we are still working on improving the country(not literally go there just watch some videos and stuff)
” not literally go there just watch some videos and stuff” 🤣🤣man is scared asf
Call of duty had this in the game?
Yes, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
Kalau buat kerja takde adab terhadap rakyat tempatan memang dibenci la. Kalau menghormati dan bergaul mesra dengan rakyat tempatan baru la akan dapat kerjasama dari mereka
Are you still in service sir?
Negative, Honorable Discharge in 1995.
Lt. McPherson (1993) I remember that interview, I was LCPL Jackson at the time, hope all is well
Antonio Jackson - Hey Jackson! Good to hear from you! Hope all is well with you. Just had dinner with James Leone last night in LA. I think we need an MPCo reunion!
Eric McPherson super cool that you have this footage. I was a platoon commander with Alpha Company 1st BN 7th MAR back then.
Eric McPherson I was a kid and I still remember those days and wish u the best guys .
Antonio Jackson great job boys, you should have stayed behind with the Pakistani army to finish those clan rapist army ❤️❤️🇵🇰🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️❤️
1st BN 7th MAR Wpn Co. I believe I was up in Barderre about the time you folks were doing this. We came to Mogadishu perhaps a week later.
I still dream about that place.
Wat was ur experience like?
Is true that everything was working out fine until Clinton pulled out all the troops and left few hundreds vulnerable to the Aideed who's militias outnumbered them 20 to 1?
@@user-pu5vt4sn7n Mainly I remember dodging multiple ambushes, shooting, and ruins. And poorly carved elephant ivory for sale at the market.
@@charlesodonnell2993 Would you by any chance be willing to put some of your stories and thoughts about your deployment to paper in a bit more detail? I'm a Somali student archiving accounts of soldiers from numerous nations of different UNOSOM contingents. I'm mostly looking for people who were in Mogadishu, and I haven't gotten a chance to hear an Americans POV. I find it a huge shame that so many interesting stories are becoming entirely lost to history because they are never recorded.
@@buurarchives hello where can i read story of somalian camp during that conflict?
Why media do not show malaysia army??its not fair..
Well maybe u can find it in other sources. America was the main force behind the operation, so what u see will be them mostly. But I agree that they should show Malaysia. Maybe Malaysia can get their journalists, reporters etc to interview their own Malaysian soldiers next time. And maybe later make a film for themselves.
The film Malbatt Misi Bakara is showing now in Malaysia

That would be cool, I'm in Reno, Nevada, it's about 8 hrs away.
You better answer me. I've still got your boonie cover. Looking for you forever, it's Hutton.
@@ozarksranching8273 - Hutton, you trying to track down Jackson?
@@CaptMac-zw8mz Why yes I am.
wow!! the Military Police in this raid was the US Army's 571st MP company from Fort Ord, California. I recognized the Hummer as one of mine. We were attached to the MARFOR the only Army unit until 10th Mountain came in.
Ernest Schmidt - sorry brother, these were United States Marines. MP Co, HQ BN, 1st MarDiv. Army came later.
sorry your wrong i was the 1SG and had the mission along with 283 Army MPs there we took the mission directly from Gen Johnson himself. If USMC MPs were there i never saw them i worked with the 311th artillery guys who were working as Infantry there out of 29 Palms California. When i did see Marine MPs they were at the Airport and the reason we were given the mission was they did not have the Vehicles or resources manpower to complete this mission. I understood there were the TOC Guards mostly. We were part of 311th MARFOR from Jan 93 to May of 93 when we were turned over to the ARFOR. that is in the history book .
Ernest Schmidt - not even close. That’s me being interviewed my friend. I was there on the ground and USMC MP’s were conducting raids on a daily basis. TOC guards! 🤣🤣🤣
@@ID41776 - Master Guns! What’s up brother?! I hope all is well with you and yours! We need an MPCo reunion!!
@@ID41776 would be nice if you could share some of your input and history on your channel!
Marines don't wear helmet bands - the US Army does.
Dude, these were absolutely Marines in the video. I know b/c I was their commanding officer and that’s me giving the interview. And yes, Marines wore helmet bands. But definitely an odd thing to contest. God Bless!
@@CaptMac-zw8mz I was in Somalia as part of 10th Mtn. If I am wrong, I am sorry. But when I have been with Marines, I don't remember them wearing helmet bands. That was one way to differentiate them at a glance. (Coicidentally, my S2 boss was a Cpt. JOHN McPherson!) My Avn Bde went to Baledogle my first time. When we returned months later, we were on the University compound in Mog. and that was when the Black Hawks were shot down.
Marty Smith - No worries! We were all there for the same reason. And unlike what the media reported, we were there to help the fine Somali people, not hurt them. We ended a 2-year civil war and escorted hundreds of truckloads of food and water. It was beautiful to watch the city of Mogadishu transform before our eyes. Be well!

What’s with the gay ass rainbow flags?
These marines are doing a great job. Clearing all the arms used by hostile militias.
