During the Battle of Mogadishu, the "Black Hawk Down" incident, Delta operators volunteered to secure one of the crash sites to help the pilots avoid being torn apart by local warlords.
With inadequate weapons and no resupply or time-line for reinforcement, they held the line along with the pilots. As far as I recall the only survivor was one of the pilots, and he was taken hostage by a warlord for a period of time.
The meme is suggesting that men should, instead of going back to meet their ancestors, kit up and assist the operators in securing the site and holding off literal thousands of local militants until evac can make it. It hits me particularly hard as an uncle of mine was one of the Rangers involved in the operation.
