Ret. Sergeant First Class Norm Hooten, Delta Force operator and team leader of the Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Black Hawk Down military operation, joined J.D. Hayworth on "America's Forum" on

Hooten described what went wrong, what the U.S. military has learned from the failed mission, and how that has changed present day special ops missions.
