The first time I heard about Vile Rat was when we were farming our sites in the Wormhole and then in the morning the news came that people had died in Bengazi. We have always been enemies with Goons, but on the "blue" day we also voted blue in solidarity with Vile Rat Goons. I still play EvE today, and sometimes there are conflicts in the world. There are also people who are not as well known as Vile Rat and still play the game. Just makes me sad, knowing how many People dying out there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pquleHuEr6ycbq8

This could have been avoided had the US done more to not allow Khadafi to be ousted. Yes, he was a dirtbag dictator, but he kept a sense of order. Hillary Clinton demonstrated that she was the most imcompetent Secretary of State in US history with the way this was handled. It also didn't help that Obama decided that his reelection was more important to him than the lives of US citizens who were in Benghazi. This film tells the story of what happened to those Americans who were there, but failed to tell why Obama and Clinton are to be blamed.

Mark "Oz" Geist was on the Shawn Ryan Show not that long ago. That dude had some serious stories, not just soldier ones. Sarah Adams was also just on the same show describing the intelligence around this event. Eric Prince have some actual good opinions on contractors. Not that weird considering who he is. The "they're just contractors so it doesn't count" doesn't hold up if you think about it at all. The only reason they exists is to fill the gaps in capability, security and manpower that it would cost the government too much to fill. So they turn to the private sector to solve that problem. The best example is a Delta Force story. There were either 2 or 3 of them, along with 10 or so local militia in an African country. They were the only American soldiers in the entire country and the operation had been so sudden there had been no planning, they simply went to help the militia with the terrorists they were tracking. They came under fire and were able to call in support from an aircraft carrier they knew were operating along the horn of Africa. That's why a contractor "get's paid more", they don't get to commandeer aircraft carriers so the government can afford to pay them a little more than a soldier.

As a son of a military father (navy), and being part of a life long military family (Navy,Air Force ,and Army) . I can honestly say it's times like this that make me love my country and hate my government. Doesn't matter whether Obama didn't order help. Or Hillary failed in her duties. At some point, people of all ranks and branches of the military and government were to quick to follow bad orders and cover their own asses. This time we lost a beloved ambassador, two ex military and current civilian security contractors, plus 1 state department personnel. Forever effected 31 peoples lives. Paid out millions of dollars in disability claims, medical bills, and therapy. Yet not one person was ever held accountable. Because of this failure, the lies that spread from the Obama White House. Years later we repeated this same situation when exiting Iraq. Yet again, no one was ever held accountable. Not one person that should have lost their job did, and the American public wasn't to concerned about holding those that screwed up responsible. Gone are the days of high ranking military leaders that knew when to follow an order and when to just say, "You can court marshall me if we make it out alive, Sir!" Too many times, I have watched sailors exit ships in their dress whites coming home from tour. The planes filled with service men and women coming back from deployment. Yes, I even have made the effort to go and welcome the coffins as they are removed from the belly of a plane. I have seen the tears of joy, fear, and sadness in the eyes of too many families to count, including my own. It will always be my honor and duty to welcome these brave men and women home until I can not, any longer. Too reach for their hand, look them in the eyes, and truly thank them for their service.

This is one of the biggest political betrayals of US servicemembers and US citizens in recent history. I researched this event in detail and dug as deep as I could. This movie is extremely accurate to the actual events that happened. The only differences I found were the name changes of Jack Silva, because at the time the book was written, Jack hadn't retired from the CIA yet, so his identity needed to be protected. And CIA Station Chief Bob was a name change because the men who wrote the book, who fought that night, had no desire to make a hit job or slander his name as if they have a personal grudge against him. They simply wanted the truth out there. These men and women went through absolute hell and were betrayed by their superiors, commanders and politicians at every level and in every way.

I would highly recommend you read or listen to the audiobook of the same title as the movie. It gives a great explanation of the events leading to this as well as more detail than obviously the movie gives. Though the movie does a superb job of putting most all pertinent information in the movie from the book. 13 Hours : the secret warriors of Benghazi

16:38 so, regarding the word technical: while I don’t remember who it was, the use of the word to describe an armed light vehicle goes back to Somalia. Some international workers there were not allowed to bring their own security so they used “technical assistance grants” to hire local help, usually in the form of an armed vehicle like the one in this movie. So, the term “technical” stuck and now refers to any armed vehicle, usually with a mounted machinegun like in this scenario.

First i will say I cannot watch these movies but I can watch you watch these movies. Seeing those warriors talking with their wife and kids makes me remember the feeling of being left out when they could talk to their families. I lived under "a marine makes for a bad husband and a husband makes for a bad Marine." That was the best way for me to get through it all. Now 15 years later I am all alone. At this point I would never open this pain to anyone else and I have no family left in Ireland or in the states. Now alone the silence is so loud.

I’m just some rando from Ohio, and I know I’m replying to an old comment, but thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Even if you don’t think family is for you, have you looked to see if there are any organizations for vets you can get plugged into, just to be around people who get you? My father in law (Navy flyer in Vietnam) and wife both struggle with PTSD and isolation, so it felt wrong to scroll past your words and not say something. Anyway, sorry if I’m off base, but I’m hoping your story takes a turn for the better. Thanks again, and God bless you, sir.

Five U.S. Ambassadors have been killed in the line of duty. Four ambassadors were assassinated during an 11-year period from 1968-1979. Chris Stevens was the fifth. In 1980 President Reagan ordered increased security all for U.S Ambassadors by the U.S. State Deparment. Every president since Reagan continued this policy until President Obama was elected. When Ambassador Stevens compound was attacked the Benghazi CIA base and their contractors requested help from the State Department and White House over a dozen times. Every request was denied. F-16 fighters could have provided air support from the USAF base in Aviano, Italy within 2 hours. The fight in Benghazi lasted for 13 hours. Either President Barrack Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could have sent help to Ambassador Stevens and the Americans in Benghazi but instead chose not to help. This will always be remembered as a failure of leadership by Obama and Clinton.

"I dunno who can be trusted." The ONLY ones you can trust and rely on are your team. "Is he serious? That's not my job." One's personal safety is why it's "personal safety"-- if you don't like your life enough to protect it, I sure don't own any responsibility for it, either. "I don't understand why no one's coming to help..." because Oblama was president and Hitlery was chief of state. Those who say, "They were only contractors and don't count," fail to understand that a contractor is a paid mercenary... our entire military is paid mercenaries, so where is the difference? Once again, thank you for your tears, Cassie. God bless.

All that was needed was authorization from Obama or Hillary or one of their underlings, and they did nothing. Then they lied about what happened and why. Sorry, but the whole thing was infuriating. Great reaction. Love the channel.

There actually is 1 scene where Mark “Oz” Geist slipped in WO THE FILMING CREW RECOGNIZING HIM instead of the actor. In one of the fight scenes HIMSELF was just a neat trivia they all enjoyed after. Let me find 1 or 2 interview clips. WAS SOOOO GOOD & John Played Jack PERFECT IN MY BOOK!!!!!!! And you said it best ……..THEY STILL WERE SAVING AMERICANS AND PROTECTING AMERICA AND AND ALL HAD SERVED. The government doesn’t take care of our veterans which is why we need Contractors AND OTHER GROUPS!!!!!!!!!!

I am one of those children who saw war and I gotta tell you children have amazing adaptation abilities. I remember the whole neighborhood kids, we used to play with the bullets we found on the ground. like collecting, who could find more, or bigger. Once, I found a damaged bullet still in the shell, it was huge! It was maybe used for those tacticals as they call them in this movie. I don't know what I did with it, probably threw it away because it was so big. On the other hand people getting killed right in front of my house, dropping like flies. When I think about how it wasn't that long ago, crazy how now it's like it never happened!

Oh, thats right it was a video that did it. No, it was an administration that was determined to not call anything under their watch a terrorists attack. We are so screwed these days.
