After Howard's Struggle with his step father, he had to face the hardships of training in the military and be good enough to graduate. When he made it past graduation, Howard had to fight against the Iraqis in Desert Storm, he had to hunt and capture Somali warlord Mohammed Aidid. I belive the central emotional conflict was Howard trying to have a stable relationship with his step father, and the central physical conflict was fighting Mohammed Aidid's militia and trying to find Aidid.

The Seals and the Army Rangers went in to try and rescue the pilots, but they got ambushed, and Howard was shot twice, but he was still fine. Then the lead vehicle took a wrong turn and they ended up just making a circle and had to go through the ambush. Again. This time, Howard was shot in the leg, and was unable to fight anymore. He was tranported to the United Nations base, and was later sent to a field hospital in Germany, where his leg was repaired.

Then he continues on when Howard describes the area of Mogadishu with very descriptive words such as "the air smelled like death and hopelessness." Then after the battle, the author talks about how he lived and others died, and his leg was saved when many had to be amputated. This story wreaks of this theme, as it is hinted at several times in nearly every chapter.
