The leader of a terrorist cell in Afghanistan was preparing his men to fight American troops who were expected to attack the next day. But he knew that all terrorist cells the Americans had encountered so far had been wiped out and he did not want his cell to share the same fate.

So in what seamed like a stroke of genius, he gathered his men in front of a TV and said to them, "Men, the Americans will meet us in battle tomorrow. I want you to be best prepared, so I want you to watch this American movie. It's Called, "Black Hawk Down". It was made by the Americans and it shows how the American soldiers fight. Watch this and you will better understand what to do tomorrow when they arrive."

So they watched the movie as he had ordered. When the American soldiers arrived the following day the terrorists promptly surrendered.

"During the raid over 1000 Somalis died and 19 American soldiers lost their lives." Black Hawk Down's Epilogue

3 Oct 93.  I know some guys that were in that - the real people, not the actors from the movie.  Worked with some of them through the years, and there's definitely stories.
