This jointly written book was the basis of the major motion picture a few years back. The story of the harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi.
> Because Michael Bay is the most trustworthy source
It's based on the non-fiction book 13 Hours by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Mitchell Zuckoff.
The book was hardly political, and more of an interview with the people there.
It is laid out pretty clearly by the survivors that they were told to stand down. If you dont believe them than i dont know what to tell you
Here is some evidence that I know more about the fog of war than you And my assertions that you have never served is based on the way you speak callously and with disrespect to those that fought and survived; and those that fell.
The fact is a stand down order was given. That shouldnt of happened. All I said was this needs them be investigated in order to prevent from happening again. Clearly better lines of communication need to be implemented.
Do you have anything constructive to add to this discussion; or just more strawman arguements and accusations??
Edit: Really? Down votes for providing links to the interview, info about the event and books about the event? Ok reddit...
Video interview with the GRS agents. Very clearly state that 2 "wait" and 1 "stand down" order was given by the CIA station Chief, "Bob".
CIA/DS/Obama Administration has all the reasons in the world to cover their ass on this. These guys have 0 reasons to lie. 2 of them died while saving those trapped. Only other GRS agents (including Glen Doherty who died during the attack) and a few JSOC guys came to their aid, who happened to be located in Tripoli at the time. Glen Doherty had to pay off a pilot with $30k in cash to fly them to Benghazi to help his other GRS agents out. They received 0 help from anyone else despite their repeated calls for help.
Haven't seen the movie yet, but their book 13 Hours gives an incredibly detailed first hand account authored by the 3 guys who survived
So does Eyes On Target
So does Benghazi: The Definitive Report
They also outline the complete bullshit the administration and DS stated as reasons that a greater rescue attempt was not attempted. If anyone is interested I can lay out the scenarios.
Lol, this entire thread is one giant circle-jerk.
I haven't read the book yet but it's out now:

I'd trust the guys on the ground and what they say long before I trust any government official. 6 hours in, someone should have been on the ground helping. You can get troops in from all over Europe and the rest of Africa in that time. Someone fucked up. Reddit will NEVER admit it because (D) was in charge at the time but someone fucked up big and people died because of it.
Also, the fact that the consulate had no security.....just lol. It's in fucking Libya and they have unarmed dudes standing at the gate. Yeah, no fuck ups there.
