    A little known fact - Sean Smith (the IT guy), was a massive member of the Eve Online gaming community, just before the attack he was online talking to his online friends - and the last message he put in chat was "fuck.... gunfire"
    Since his passing the community memorialised him in game and members of the gaming community helped to raise $127k for his his family.

      RIP Vile Rat - too bad in the movie they show him playing a COD-style game, probably because it's more recognizable as a videogame.

    • @CapulloSpawn
      @CapulloSpawn 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

      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.

      I had just finished ITB and was going to my school house unit when this happened. Ironically, my MOS was the one that was designed to recapturing embassies or consulates after they have been invaded, or securing them if they had been attacked. So this even definitely would have qualified, if Hilary Clinton had only given the order for fast company to deploy.

    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.

    by Lt Col John McCrae
    (his best friend had been killed the day before he wrote this poem)
    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.
    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

    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.

      This was so horrible and didn't have to be. A placed inept female functionary with no security experience denied the embassy extra security. She had the gall to even say afterwards that they had adequate security! They requested that the CIA and a quick reaction force less than 6 blocks away rescue them and send air support and Hillary Clinton said no to both requests because, "she didn't want to risk an international incident". After this tragedy occurred which included the torture and murder of our ambassador and those that died defending the embassy a reporter asked Hillary about Benghazi, she had been caught in numerous outright lies previously in her efforts to cover up her jncompetence. She angrily replied, "Who even cares now? What does it matter?" I'm pretty sure it mattered to the spouses, partners, parents, kids, siblings and friends of those her incompetence, lies, obfuscation and malfeasance of duty caused to be murdered.

He gave orders to hold back GRS while actively lying to them that Feb 17 was responding and handling the situation. When, in fact, Feb 17 basically told him to pound sand and did zero to help. He repeatedly lied to his guys and wasted more than enough time that was needed to respond to the compound and potentially save the lives of the Ambassador and Mr. Smith. And instead of being held accountable for his incompetence he was given a promotion and allowed to retire. Despicable.

    Air cover never came. The excuse for not sending help was the military is not set up as a 911 response unit. The F16's in northern Italy needed to be fueled to make it there and back. The answer giving at the hearings was they were not sure if there was personnel on a military island off Italy that could to do a hot pit refuel.

      That's why land and carrier based tankers are around.

      They could have sent air support from Sigonella, the Naval Air Station in Sicily.

      @notmyrealname1730 I read the entire report that was released to the public and watched the hearings. Military claims no fighters at Sigonella at the time even though hundreds of combat missions were flown out of there when we were attacking Lybia. The F16 would have had to be flown from Aviano then landed there for a hot pit refuel and continue their flight for air support. No one made the command decision to do it even though it was possible to make it happen.

    Such an intense movie. Can't imagine what was going through their heads. The threat of being overrun must have been overwhelming. I can't think of anything worse than being overrun and drug through the streets to your death by those monsters. I know the training helps massively, but my palms get super sweaty every time ive seen this.

    Would love to see you react to Zulu, a classic british film about a real battle in history.
