Kris Paranto has said in multiple speeches that the militia that they thought ran away after the incoming mortars actually went and found the mortar crew and took them out. He has also said that points in the fight he had random libians in office attire taking a knee next to him engaging the attackers. It was Gidaffe's troops who ultimately came to their rescue also stated by kris.

The situation with the militia groups in Benghazi sound just like medieval to classical period armies just turning on each other and switching sides for the highest bidder and profit. Something that modern western armies, especially US, are not familiar with. Add in the language barrier, and there's no wonder that they had so much trouble.

In all honesty, after reading the books and watching the movie, the movie itself is one of my absolute favorites of all time because the key thing I took from it, and the reason I watch it over and over again, is because it is a great story about how a small group of like-minded people can work together in extreme circumstances and do extraordinary things. So many obstacles were stacked against these guys, yet they overcame all of them together. It is terrible the loss of the ambassador Chris Stevens, the IT man Sean Smith, contract operators Glen Doherty, and Tyrone "Rone" Woods, and the other casualties. But they worked together, took care of each other, and fulfilled their purpose to serve and protect.

I personally think he is touching on a larger issue with US forgein policy, especially when it comes to committing military forces in a country or region, and that is that we fail, as americans, to acquire a deeper understanding of the history, ethnic tensions, culture etc. We often make the assumption that everyone wants to be like us, have what we have, value what we value, and that is simply not the case.

They shouldn't have had to beg the locals for help which they knew they weren't going to get. You sir are the type of men that are destroying this country.

The essence of that dynamic between an outsider organization [ U.S. State Dept./ CIA/ other western org. ] and local militias has been experienced and understood for decades. Bottom line, as I see it, is that American lives are expendable if you're sitting at a comfortable desk a few thousand or more miles away and you have another interest to placate. Just ask the Russian troops that got run out of Afghanistan.

@chrisburke624 Жыл бұрын
Straight up, he doesn't. Its hard to see the benefit in connecting those dots, because you're right - those dots don't really connect. In other countries it can make sense tho. A trade agreement with country X may allow that farmer to ship more of his product & hence expand his business. Or he might be able to get what he needs for his product cheaper. In Benghazi, the embassy might not benefit the farmer in Iowa directly. But it could benefit the US as a whole with oil exports or imports, or gaining mining contracts for rare metals, or making sure terrorism doesn't take too much of a root there. But I agree with you. There aren't many Americans living there, so embassy services are pretty much wasted because they serve no one, and the rest could be done via visits & phone calls... 🤷‍♂️

I came to the same conclusion in looking at the conflicts we've been involved in the Middle East. America is always going to be stuck behind the 8-ball in this region because we seem to never understand that no matter what good we try to do in regions of conflict, we're always the outsider. We've seen it time and time again. I don't know how you can even call the Benghazi effort a 'diplomatic mission' when there were no established power structures in that country at all after Khaddafi fell from power. I know that's part of the gamble to help one faction gain power in expectation of a return on some investment but when it goes bad, it goes very bad.

With all due respect Americans are not the only ones that have "fighting spirit", pretty easy to point to history for that. The problem is it's easy for us to say "why are they not fighting?" when we don't have to live there after the dust settles. It's like people who act like they wouldn't be slaves. As if the problem was just the lack of "fighting spirit". I'm sure some of the militia knew if they fought (win or lose) their families likely would be killed, home destroyed, etc. Yes, the problem was the gamble on these type of people, knowing the position they are likely to be in if something goes down.

“Libyan transport.. Still no Americans.” is the best line of the movie and encapsulates so much. The Obama White House and his Secretary of State, crooked Hillary Clinton, left them there to die and may have even served them up from the get go.

Reminds me a lot of Iraq... Shia, Sunni, and Kurds. Shia and Sunni hate each other but both hate Kurds. We had to live among that tension when deployed in Iraq. Felt bad for the Kurds though; gassed by Saddam in the 80's, overlooked by us during the war in Iraq, abandoned by trump so he could continue his favortism to Turkey/Russia--leaving Kurds to get attacked/bombed without our support. I went up to the Kurdish area of Iraq for 4-day pass in my year deployed to Tikrit nearly 20 years ago now. The resort was one of Saddam's old ones in Northern Iraq. It was then run by Kurds and used mostly for 4-day passes for military deployed in Iraq. In the resort though, the Kurds had a big map of that area of Iraq but their area clearly bordered and labeled as Kurdistan. They're still waiting for their own country after all these years. It's sad af.

Shawn, is there anyway you can bring an insurgent on the show? I served in Iraq and did CRAM, it's nothing to what you guys have done, but I would be curious on their side of some of the battles against the US. They seem to be not just dudes off the street with AKs.

Great statement.. " You cannot out do the American fighting spirit". That is a true statement that not only applies to the men of this country, It also applies to the women of this country. Women will be the first to pick up arms and defend their family and country. Never stand between a woman and her family. Hell haveth no fury like a woman scorned. God Bless the USA

Can't you? Germany has shown how far their fighting spirit really goes, America has not proven any such thing yet. It's easy to show "fighting spirit" when you almost always have the extreme upper hand in terms of air support, artillery support, etc. I have yet to see handfuls of Americans holding on against hordes of infantry, tanks, being blasted by artillery, strafed etc. and still fighting on to let the women and children escape just a mile further, knowing it will mean their own deaths or horrid captivity that they either won't survive or that will scar them for life. Not knocking them. They're great soldiers. Just laughing at such bullshit statements.

@@tao196580241 Your other reply to me is gone also. As in I can still see it in the notifications and I could see it when you posted it, but it's not there when you click to expand the replies on your OP. Happens with mine also. And it'll get worse before the ban. It starts out with having a few reports against you, where you say "mean" things (esp. against protected groups), and from there you get an ever increasing list of words that you can't write in your comments (or parts of phrases) depending on what you're reported for. Ie I have to use euphemisms or missspell certain words, or a comment won't stick (especially if it's an op comment/starting a thread), such as "RelofPeacer" for the adherent(s) of a certain relig. group. Fucked up things is when you tell people they mostly don't believe it, and you'll actually have to show them (ie streaming or IRL), that youtube can and does censor people like that.

“THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI” We’re the battling boys of Benghazi, No fame, no glory, no paparazzi. Just a fiery death in a blazing hell, Defending our country we loved so well. It wasn’t our job, but we answered the call, Fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall. We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate Led them to safety and stood at the gate. Just the two of us and foes by the score, But we stood fast to bar the door. Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied, So we fought and we fought and we fought ’til we died. We gave our all for our Uncle Sam, But Barack and Hillary didn’t give a damn. Just two dead Seals who carried the load No thanks to us..we were just “Bumps In The Road”.
