Document Summary
There was a sense that we should and could have done more. This substantial role is going to mean a commitment of several hundred troops. One of the big things for the u. s. was: discipline and morale problems. The unit had just been cut and it lost about 1/4 of its size. As a result, there was a sense of anger and morale. U. s. troops flew the confederate flag in some instances. The airborne itself is considered commandos and not peacekeepers. There are two incidents involved with the somali affair: Ambush planned by canadian troops while waiting for the thieves. Some soldiers were arrested, and a whole lot of horrifying things were involved. Here in canada, the airborne regiment no longer exists. An almost immediate 25% drop in funding from the government of canada occurred. One who was arrested was deemed unfit to stand trial, because he attempted to kill himself. This is all too common when a country collapses.
