How are heroes born?

This kind of American hero blockbuster in which a few people fight against a bunch of militants has a premise that the other party's equipment is far behind the United States. Like what the captain said before firing: we have night vision goggles, they don't. The American GIs had the highest point, more firepower than the Libyans, and night vision goggles. The Libyan militants are basically a group of militias, without professional training, lack of organization, no heavy firepower, no night vision goggles, not even a sniper. It was under these conditions that the miracle of a few people resisting dozens of enemy troops was staged. On the contrary, the U.S. military was not so lucky in the fall of the Black Hawk. The helicopter fell as an emergency. The U.S. military had neither firepower advantage nor terrain advantage, so the losses were much heavier. Hundreds of Somali soldiers died, while 120 were killed. 19 American special forces were killed and 73 wounded. The battle damage ratio far exceeds that of the Benghazi terrorist attack. This is a normal war casualty situation. And Benghazi is a special case this time, as long as the terrorists have a mortar for the first two times, the American soldiers are finished. When the heroes got reinforcements, the militants with their minds back to normal finally remembered to use mortars, which immediately blew the hero soldiers into pieces.

So how are heroes born? It is because the enemy forgot to use the mortar when attacking at the beginning.
