Black Hawk Down Veteran Explains Horrific Brutality Of The Battle: WATCH

Published|Updated

Brad Thomas' experiences in Somalia are something every American should learn about.

Brad deployed to Somalia as a member of the Army Rangers, and fought in the infamous Battle of Mogadishu (commonly known as Black Hawk Down). He later served as a Tier One operator in The Unit during the GWOT and founded the popular rock band Silence & Light. You can learn more about the band here. It's definitely worth checking out.

Brad joined me on American Joyride to discuss his memories of Somalia, the battle and much more ahead of "Surviving Black Hawk Down" premiering on Netflix. The documentary is *OUTSTANDING.* It's a must-watch, and nothing matches hearing it from the men there.

As always, grab your favorite snack and drink, hit play on the video below and make sure to send me your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
