  11. Mission not accomplished

    Almost exactly nineteen years ago, a plane lumbered across the pocked runway of the Mogadishu airport and a young Marine, a veteran of two wars in three years, looked out of the departing plane’s window, sniffed and said, “Thirty days.” He was pretty close; less than forty days after the departure of the U.S. combat troops that had brought an end to fighting and starvation in Somalia, two dozen Pakistani soldiers were ambushed and massacred in that nation's capital.
