Shawn Ryan has done an interview with Oz on his UA-cam channel. He's also done interviews with Sarah Adams, who worked as a CIA targeter going after the guys who attacked the Annex. They are fascinating interviews, but, as an American, this was an INFURIATING situation, and to this day, no one in the American government has been held responsible.

I was in Africa on a Quick Reaction Force assignment about 2 miles from the US embassy when we watched this movie in the team room. I had to walk out. Hillary Clinton let this happen. That is a fact.
And I've seen many other spec ops men who served at the time share their anger and frustration from not being allowed to respond to this and other situations due to politics. Absolutely disgusting. Thank you for your service.
A big part of the reason Hillary Clinton wasn't elected in 2016 was because of how badly she botched this operation and her foreign policy in Libya in general. The US destabilized Libya in large part because Gaddafi was socializing Libya's oil reserves. The way Gaddafi died was unspeakably brutal (he was sodomized to death with a sword), and the country descended into complete chaos after his death. Libya was one of the most prosperous regions in Africa prior to the coup, and now there are open air slave markets.
Actually this incident had no bearing on why Clinton lost the election as it wasn’t remotely her fault. She lost for not campaigning enough in the battleground states and taking states like Pennsylvania for granted. She actually lobbied congress for increased security at ALL of our embassies but the then republican congress didn’t want to foot the bill. They cut costs for the 1% and people died. If you want to blame anyone it was the do nothing republican congress. I’m sick of people blaming Clinton when she is on record trying to save lives and increase security. All of this could have been avoided. Getting rid of Gaddafi was a good move. Socializing oil is never a good thing for the world market. If congress had stepped up with the requests for increased security, none of this happens. That’s a fact.
@@bradfordsmith3583 So your argument is that the US has the right to de-stabilize and murder people because their actions may be bad for the market? Wow. At least you just say it outright. Colonialist to your core, like most Democrat apologists.
A lot of people involved in the American political spectrum did not want this movie to be released and went on the attack on it as soon as it was. There was a lot of heat in particular to the stand down order shown in the film. The actual Tanto responded to this with, "We were told to 'stand down'. Those words were used verbatim-100 percent. If the truth of it affects someone's political career? Well, I'm sorry. It happens." Scary how many people value their careers over lives.
When Congress interviewed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they asked her what she did. She said she went home. The congressman asked "alone?" She laughed and said yes alone 😢😢😢 These were her people under attack!
@@LuckySmurf the question wasn't absurd. American's were under attack!!! This was completely her responsibility and even her fault considering that she was the one who pushed this complete S-show into motion. The question was basically asking if she has anyone on her staff along with her working on the situation. In no way was that question or situation funny!!!
Taken completely out of context, and in the middle of literally months of hearings where they asked her the same questions hundreds of times. Try watching something other than Fox News and you might actually learn something.
I will never forget that stupid statement for as long as I can draw breath. She got called out and caught, and made some REALLY idiodic back handed statements to justify her immoral high horse.
Here is the exact quote, "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans," Clinton said. "What difference - at this point, what difference does it make?"
This. Don't forget Billary was appointed by Obama. It reminds me of that holdout with pirates that had American citizens hostage, and Obama delayed doing anything because he was afraid it would tarnish his political position, and the naval officer had to disregard orders and send in the SEAL team to rescue the hostages. Then compare that to the orange guy who just recently almost took a bullet in the face for his country, and shouted his defiance. the same guy that went to the funeral for the firefighter who died in the shooting while the current Executive branch (including once invisible but now mysteriously popular VP) didn't even bring it up or mention it.
The movie was made to let Americans know the truth about what happened that night. They were on their own, and fighting for their lives for 13 hours. They could have had air support, but the U.S. government (Hillary) refused to send it.
According to the government, air support was unavailable at the time. I'm not arguing in favor of the mess that was created, but Hollywood certainly is not interested in the truth; and cannot get anything right.
I met these guys at a book signing in 2015, Tanto is by far one of the coolest people I've ever met. I showed up right at the tail end of the event and their handler person said "Oh you wanna get your book signed? Oooooh, I don't know, they're closing up right now...." and Tanto runs up "Hey man, you wanna get your book signed? Well come on over!"
@@TheRagratus ok… i sense your anger because you re american im korean and i hate her very similar reason north korea attack south korea 2011 hillary was Secretary of State she stoped our revenge has no reason our president got humiliation because of that south korea is sovereign state she have no right to do that
I saw this movie in theaters twice. Once by myself, then the second time I went with my dad after I recommended it to him. He was pissed by the time credits rolled. The first word he said was, "Ridiculous" because of how the Obama Admin left everyone there to die. Easily Michael Bay's best film.
I have watched this film several times and I'm still disgusted that they were basically left for dead. Some of the lines that Tanto says are mood lighteners especially in the heat of battle There's also a book called 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi if you're interested
Tanto was the goofball of the group (which seems true based on what I've seen of the real Tanto) but he was still absolutely deadly serious when he had to be. Those kind of guys are so valuable in a group, they help keep morale up even in bleak situations.
I remember this day well, I was in boot camp when it all went down. For the next 2ish months our DIs made it sound like we were gonna be there busting heads next!
Such an embarrassing situation for the State Department. This was the epitome of politics getting in the way of supporting our men and women. It's easy to miss, but the quick scene with the two Delta guys saying "We're it, brother" is telling. The government sent two men from one of the most elite military units in the world simply to destroy sensitive information. If they could get two guys there, they could have gotten an entire team there, but the didn't. Absolutely pathetic how we abandoned those men. People should have gone to prison for what happened, but of course no one in the media seemed to care to hold anyone in THEIR government accountable.
I read a comment from a guy on YT once that claimed he had a friend who was a marine in a QRF base in Germany. He said his CO was on the phone for three hours with some stooge from the State Department who said they didn't have clearance to go to Libya. For three hours they went from "ready to go" to "standby" while this battle was happening.
@@Frenki94 Yep, several stories like that across the military. Several JSOC resources were also chomping at the bit to go, but were held back. It's disgusting how we left Americans to die. That is treasonous, imo.
@@theangryliberal If you believe that you're not very bright. She just happened to use BleachBit to purge 33,000 emails from her personal server when they were trying to investigate her. It's fine though because she's a (D)emocrat, nothing to see there.
@@theangryliberal Right. What happened was gross, but it wasn't specifically Clinton's fault. There are reasons to dislike her, but this operation isn't one of them. If she had been responsible, her political enemies would obliterate her over it. They didn't.
@@theangryliberal Kind of hard to investigate when she deletes 33,000 emails from her personal server that was illegal by the way. Similar to Biden having classified documents in his personal home.

Still no blow back for that either...
I remember hearing about this in basic training. We all thought another war was gonna happen and we were all excited. Brand new 11b’s just wanting to get some.
Hyllary Clinton , Ignored, Refused to send help....let the Americans died and yet, nothing legally happened to those allowing this to happened, its really Sad !
Republicans held literal months of hearings about this and came up with squat. All you right-wingers do is tell each other the same old lies until you all consider them facts. It explains Donald Trump perfectly, y'all are just that ignorant.
Whatever happened to the guy the gov blamed this on? Remember? It was a UA-cam video that turned a protest violent. They even perpwalked a guy. This and Uvalde are THE examples for me. Trust the gov at your own risk.
“Oz” gave his account of the night on “the Shawn Ryan Show” one of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard. Even if you don’t react to it. You should give it a listen. It’s an incredible story.
Ames, some things to understand about this. The reason that Libya was a failed state is because the US (under Obama, but pushed mainly by then Sec. State Hillary Clinton so she could get her "war" bona fides before her future presidential run), along with the Brits and French, caused the overthrow of the Gaddafi government in Libya under false pretenses (sound familiar?). That caused a power vacuum resulting in competing factions battling for power. That threw the country into chaos. As a result, still a dozen years later the country is still in chaos and there still exist actual open-air slave markets today since that time. What a great legacy for Obama, the first black US president (who I voted for the first time). The ambassador went to the same school as me and I had met him previous to his death (obviously). The political leaders that caused this (Obama, Clinton, others, and I include the idiots in Congress regardless of party who were also pushing Obama into action because he was actually trying to avoid it, I'll give him that) are the absolute worst of humanity. If there is a hell, I can only hope that there will be an accounting for those ghouls.
That plane full of soldiers were all ready to go in and help but got orders to stand down as well. I get that it would've risked more lives, but CIA personnel and an American ambassador were on the ground so that help should have been sent no matter the risk
@patrickevans9604 same shit caused Mogadishu, General Garrison asked for AC-130 gunship support and armor vehicles, this was denied by Washington, if they had that they would have been much better off against the somalis Our leaders have a history of putting optics and money over the lives of our soldiers and the efforts they fight for One of my favorite quotes about the nature of war is held within the movie black hawk down, said by the character hoot when asked if he thinks the US should be there He says "you wanna know if I think we should be here? I think it doesn't matter what I think or what you think for that matter, cause once the bullets start flying all the politics and reasons go right out the window" "it's just war man"
I served 10 years in the army. 6 as a ranger and this movie is highly accurate except how the 320 blew that tactical in half. They are not that strong. 4 tours and seeing a fallen battle brother never dulls. But in the midst of the fight there's no time to weep. You let that all go when you RTB. So in the beginning it was really smart that Tyron woods did not meet with Jack right away. It was good that he stood in the stairwell that way he could observe if Jack had a tail on him while he walked to the car. I found small details like that to be really cool because we did apply that in real world scenarios. Now I'm not the best of the best Like Delta, Navy seals etc but rangers do get a good bit of training and we often do CQC and CQB which is close quarters combat and close quarters battles (clearing rooms) With different military groups. So sometimes a seal may actually teach a ranger something new that they never known. And rangers Are JSOC qualified which means joint special operations command. Basically meaning rangers can roll out with a SEAL Team but we may just be pulling perimeter detail while they do all the room clearing. I can't speculate too much on these guys jobs cuz they were private contractors and I don't know how much of the military actually still applies as far as regulations goes but I will say as far as a combat, coms, yelling out RPG, yelling out mortars etc. If you ever found yourself in a situation (hypothetical ) where there's mortars get as low to the ground as possible because they blow up and out so there's a better chance of you living if you get as low to the ground as possible and if you can actually find something like a foxhole to crawl into
There’s certainly some dramatization in this movie, but I believe there’s much less than most think. For instance, the scene where John Krasinski’s character, Jack Silva, momentarily lost his contact actually happened. The survivors were actually consultants during filming.
Some of them were. Boon and Jack gave their input but didn't wanna appear on camera so the other 3 (tanto, oz, and tig) did most of the heavy lifting and all the press interviews for it

Its so sad that when I see people watching his that no one has any clue who David Giuntoli is, I'm waiting for the day someone recognises him!

I think the saddest part of the whole situation is that Libya is still a mess to this day and it's totally our fault. There are even slave markets in Libya again.

@@davidrampone yeah I realize that afterwards. I reacted on emotions, I was so pissed that day when I heard Hillary say that. Thank God, she never became president.
Throwing the 2 bodies off the roof was rough to see, but that is Delta Force and probably other agencies SOP. During a firefight, you can't risk gently removing them. Too dangerous and takes too long. They chose the most expeditious solution.

Kris “Tanto” Paranto also has a podcast that he co-hosts with a friend, called Battleline Podcast, it can be found here on UA-cam and on Spotify as well. It’s named after his company “Battleline Tactical” where he hold’s tactical firearm training to Military, police, and civilians. He’s had on a CIA targeter named Sarah Adams, who is to this day hunting down those responsible for the attack and she worked with Dave “Boone” Benton to create a book called “Know thy enemy”where they expose the identities of those individuals. Also, quite funny about the gun courses he holds, seeing as in the movie he’s so conscious about gun safety and guns being pointed at him 😂
you said "eye in the sky" in this video, and it made me think of the movie "Eye in the Sky" from 2015, its a small short flick but really good and accurate at depicting modern drone warfare, i'd recommend a watch!

We have the point. We fight for each other, not a government. - Signed, An Ole 82nd Airborne Veteran
Deposing Ghadafi turned Libya from a country with 95% litteracy rate to a failed state. The only reason international coalition did that was because France was afraid to lose financial influence in northern Africa as Ghadafi was trying to convince other north african countries to create common currency based on gold standard.
Great reaction Ames like always, about the phrase Riding Shotgun, that is a word that we still use today and where originated from in the Wild West, carriage men would often have a passenger whose job was to carry a shotgun to protect them along their way. Hence the reason we call shotgun when we want to sit in the passenger seat of a vehicle. Keep up the good work.
Michael Bay’s best film. By a country mile. Our government under Killary and Barry left our men to die after destabilizing the country they were station in while they napped and “fundraised.”
I absolutely adore this movie. As you point out Ames, it shows the dedication of these soldiers turned contractors. Such a horrible situtation that could have been avoided. State had intel something might happen and did nothing. H. Clinton is ultimately responsible, but truly the loss of life is a State Dept failure as an organization. Anyway, I love Transformers 1 for the camp, but this is my fave Bay movie. Cheers!
Did Hillary face criminal charges? Just curious. Sounds like something that would be punishable if it was a cognitive choice to have US soldiers just die.
I agree there's plenty of failures at the State Dept, but the Pentagon and military brass also deserves plenty of heat and scrutiny. Did State never get them the permission to fly into Libya? If so, why didn't they move heaven and earth to get something, anything in the air. As stated, even a fly-over could have changed the course of events.
The actor playing Tyrone Woods is also in The Departed and The Pacific. The actor playing "Tanto", Pablo Schreiber, is also in The Wire and the Halo series. Three of the survivors served as advisors for this film. Another Michael Bay film like this I recommend watching is The Rock

@@bradfordsmith3583nice revision of history.
@@mottorcyle5052 Verifiable facts are not a revision...unless you are delusional.
@@bradfordsmith3583 So your argument is that the US has the right to de-stabilize and murder people because their actions may be bad for the market? Wow. At least you just say it outright. Colonialist to your core, like most Democrat apologists.
A lot of people involved in the American political spectrum did not want this movie to be released and went on the attack on it as soon as it was.
There was a lot of heat in particular to the stand down order shown in the film. The actual Tanto responded to this with, "We were told to 'stand down'. Those words were used verbatim-100 percent. If the truth of it affects someone's political career? Well, I'm sorry. It happens."
Scary how many people value their careers over lives.
When Congress interviewed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they asked her what she did. She said she went home. The congressman asked "alone?" She laughed and said yes alone 😢😢😢 These were her people under attack!
She's a criminal!
The laugh was at the absurdity of the question (and how it was phrased), not what was happening at the embassy.
@@LuckySmurf That pos is responsible for the whole shitshow.
@@LuckySmurfShe abandoned them to die. There is no doubt about that.
@@LuckySmurf the question wasn't absurd. American's were under attack!!! This was completely her responsibility and even her fault considering that she was the one who pushed this complete S-show into motion. The question was basically asking if she has anyone on her staff along with her working on the situation. In no way was that question or situation funny!!!
"What difference, at this point, does it make?!" - Hillary Clinton
Taken completely out of context, and in the middle of literally months of hearings where they asked her the same questions hundreds of times. Try watching something other than Fox News and you might actually learn something.
and then they tried to run her for president and still pretend she's an amazing person.
Note to those that don’t know by now… the state department turns EVERYTHING to shit. Hillary Clinton “at this point, what does it matter”
I will never forget that stupid statement for as long as I can draw breath. She got called out and caught, and made some REALLY idiodic back handed statements to justify her immoral high horse.
Here is the exact quote, "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans," Clinton said. "What difference - at this point, what difference does it make?"
Pokémon go to the polls! Im not even American but have always disliked Hillary, she's such a fake snake.
Remember in November who to vote for when you realize which party just laughed and went home for the day.
I remember that Donald Trump is a traitor to the United States. The end.
This. Don't forget Billary was appointed by Obama. It reminds me of that holdout with pirates that had American citizens hostage, and Obama delayed doing anything because he was afraid it would tarnish his political position, and the naval officer had to disregard orders and send in the SEAL team to rescue the hostages.
Then compare that to the orange guy who just recently almost took a bullet in the face for his country, and shouted his defiance. the same guy that went to the funeral for the firefighter who died in the shooting while the current Executive branch (including once invisible but now mysteriously popular VP) didn't even bring it up or mention it.
@@uh60ce1 Trump is a traitor.
@@temjiu9915 This. So much this.
She still got the popular vote back then.
So do you honestly believe the people that vote for that party are paying any more attention these days?
"Its really amazing to see this emotional side to these guys"
I couldn't agree more.I love this movie.
They abandoned them!!!! Still pissed over this!!!!
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats did. Yes
You and me both, Brother!
It's crazy how half the country was willing to vote for Hillary after she did this.
They should have fired all those contractors for abandoning their charges.
They claimed they searched the embassy grounds when they didn't.
@@jamesricker3997 Really tough guy? Is that what you would have done? No. Because you're not smart enough to be CIA.
The movie was made to let Americans know the truth about what happened that night. They were on their own, and fighting for their lives for 13 hours. They could have had air support, but the U.S. government (Hillary) refused to send it.
@holddowna1_O-N-TE-LE-GRAM What?
Republicans tried for months to hang this on her and failed. Try watching something other than Fox News.
According to the government, air support was unavailable at the time. I'm not arguing in favor of the mess that was created, but Hollywood certainly is not interested in the truth; and cannot get anything right.
F-16's were ready to go, but your never given the order.
Once again, untrue
I met these guys at a book signing in 2015, Tanto is by far one of the coolest people I've ever met. I showed up right at the tail end of the event and their handler person said "Oh you wanna get your book signed? Oooooh, I don't know, they're closing up right now...." and Tanto runs up "Hey man, you wanna get your book signed? Well come on over!"
after watching this
i gonna hate Hillary Clinton more
I can't hate her more than I do now.
@@TheRagratus ok… i sense your anger because you re american
im korean and i hate her very similar reason
north korea attack south korea 2011
hillary was Secretary of State
she stoped our revenge has no reason
our president got humiliation because of that south korea is sovereign state
she have no right to do that
I saw this movie in theaters twice. Once by myself, then the second time I went with my dad after I recommended it to him. He was pissed by the time credits rolled. The first word he said was, "Ridiculous" because of how the Obama Admin left everyone there to die.
Easily Michael Bay's best film.
The true story of how Obama and Hillary Clinton abandoned Americans in Benghazi. As a former operator, this pisses me off.
I have watched this film several times and I'm still disgusted that they were basically left for dead. Some of the lines that Tanto says are mood lighteners especially in the heat of battle
There's also a book called 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi if you're interested
Tanto was the goofball of the group (which seems true based on what I've seen of the real Tanto) but he was still absolutely deadly serious when he had to be.
Those kind of guys are so valuable in a group, they help keep morale up even in bleak situations.
I remember this day well, I was in boot camp when it all went down. For the next 2ish months our DIs made it sound like we were gonna be there busting heads next!
Such an embarrassing situation for the State Department. This was the epitome of politics getting in the way of supporting our men and women.
It's easy to miss, but the quick scene with the two Delta guys saying "We're it, brother" is telling. The government sent two men from one of the most elite military units in the world simply to destroy sensitive information. If they could get two guys there, they could have gotten an entire team there, but the didn't. Absolutely pathetic how we abandoned those men. People should have gone to prison for what happened, but of course no one in the media seemed to care to hold anyone in THEIR government accountable.
Not "we." Obama. Obama doesn't represent us Americans, even if he occupied the White House for eight years.
That still sounds familiar to this day. The media is a joke.
I read a comment from a guy on YT once that claimed he had a friend who was a marine in a QRF base in Germany. He said his CO was on the phone for three hours with some stooge from the State Department who said they didn't have clearance to go to Libya. For three hours they went from "ready to go" to "standby" while this battle was happening.
@@Frenki94 Yep, several stories like that across the military. Several JSOC resources were also chomping at the bit to go, but were held back. It's disgusting how we left Americans to die. That is treasonous, imo.
This movie makes my blood boil that Hillary got away with this.
When she got up and told Congress " at this point what difference does it make" a lot bitch, a whole lot.
There were 8 congressional committee investigations, both Republican and Democrat, that found no wrongdoing on her part
@@theangryliberal If you believe that you're not very bright. She just happened to use BleachBit to purge 33,000 emails from her personal server when they were trying to investigate her. It's fine though because she's a (D)emocrat, nothing to see there.
@@theangryliberal Right. What happened was gross, but it wasn't specifically Clinton's fault. There are reasons to dislike her, but this operation isn't one of them. If she had been responsible, her political enemies would obliterate her over it. They didn't.
@@theangryliberal Kind of hard to investigate when she deletes 33,000 emails from her personal server that was illegal by the way. Similar to Biden having classified documents in his personal home.
It's (D)ifferent though, just like the Afghanistan pullout that got 13 service men and women killed and left behind 80+ billion in military gear/weapons to the Taliban along with hundreds of American citizens. Still no blow back for that either...
You can thank Hillary Clinton for this.
You mean, blame
That man will forever be Rone/Leckie to me 😂
I remember hearing about this in basic training. We all thought another war was gonna happen and we were all excited. Brand new 11b’s just wanting to get some.
I got 9 mins in and this movie looked so good I watched it myself. Came back to finish the reaction when I was done though. :)
Best way to do it!
Hyllary Clinton , Ignored, Refused to send help....let the Americans died and yet, nothing legally happened to those allowing this to happened, its really Sad !
Republicans held literal months of hearings about this and came up with squat. All you right-wingers do is tell each other the same old lies until you all consider them facts. It explains Donald Trump perfectly, y'all are just that ignorant.
Whatever happened to the guy the gov blamed this on? Remember? It was a UA-cam video that turned a protest violent. They even perpwalked a guy. This and Uvalde are THE examples for me. Trust the gov at your own risk.
Don't forget this immortal line, "At this point, what does it matter?!"
“Oz” gave his account of the night on “the Shawn Ryan Show” one of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard. Even if you don’t react to it. You should give it a listen. It’s an incredible story.
Ames, some things to understand about this. The reason that Libya was a failed state is because the US (under Obama, but pushed mainly by then Sec. State Hillary Clinton so she could get her "war" bona fides before her future presidential run), along with the Brits and French, caused the overthrow of the Gaddafi government in Libya under false pretenses (sound familiar?). That caused a power vacuum resulting in competing factions battling for power. That threw the country into chaos. As a result, still a dozen years later the country is still in chaos and there still exist actual open-air slave markets today since that time. What a great legacy for Obama, the first black US president (who I voted for the first time). The ambassador went to the same school as me and I had met him previous to his death (obviously). The political leaders that caused this (Obama, Clinton, others, and I include the idiots in Congress regardless of party who were also pushing Obama into action because he was actually trying to avoid it, I'll give him that) are the absolute worst of humanity. If there is a hell, I can only hope that there will be an accounting for those ghouls.
Already happening. Many have already been taken out. Deep State about finished now. Time to buckle up and hear the truth.
I spent 9 years in the Navy. I know we could have gotten help to them!
Yeah, you could have transported help closer to them.
That plane full of soldiers were all ready to go in and help but got orders to stand down as well. I get that it would've risked more lives, but CIA personnel and an American ambassador were on the ground so that help should have been sent no matter the risk
@@patrickevans9604 you dont leave anyone behind.
@patrickevans9604 same shit caused Mogadishu, General Garrison asked for AC-130 gunship support and armor vehicles, this was denied by Washington, if they had that they would have been much better off against the somalis
Our leaders have a history of putting optics and money over the lives of our soldiers and the efforts they fight for
One of my favorite quotes about the nature of war is held within the movie black hawk down, said by the character hoot when asked if he thinks the US should be there
He says "you wanna know if I think we should be here? I think it doesn't matter what I think or what you think for that matter, cause once the bullets start flying all the politics and reasons go right out the window" "it's just war man"
@@PodreyJenkin138 and the reason we lost Vietnam to the communist.
I served 10 years in the army. 6 as a ranger and this movie is highly accurate except how the 320 blew that tactical in half. They are not that strong. 4 tours and seeing a fallen battle brother never dulls. But in the midst of the fight there's no time to weep. You let that all go when you RTB. So in the beginning it was really smart that Tyron woods did not meet with Jack right away. It was good that he stood in the stairwell that way he could observe if Jack had a tail on him while he walked to the car. I found small details like that to be really cool because we did apply that in real world scenarios. Now I'm not the best of the best Like Delta, Navy seals etc but rangers do get a good bit of training and we often do CQC and CQB which is close quarters combat and close quarters battles (clearing rooms) With different military groups. So sometimes a seal may actually teach a ranger something new that they never known. And rangers Are JSOC qualified which means joint special operations command. Basically meaning rangers can roll out with a SEAL Team but we may just be pulling perimeter detail while they do all the room clearing. I can't speculate too much on these guys jobs cuz they were private contractors and I don't know how much of the military actually still applies as far as regulations goes but I will say as far as a combat, coms, yelling out RPG, yelling out mortars etc. If you ever found yourself in a situation (hypothetical ) where there's mortars get as low to the ground as possible because they blow up and out so there's a better chance of you living if you get as low to the ground as possible and if you can actually find something like a foxhole to crawl into
Don't sell yourself short. The Army Rangers are bad asses also.
Thank you for giving many years of your life to protect us. Much respect.
"You knew you werent going to win that BOOOOOBBBB" 😂😂
I didn't date during my military career to save the hurt.. I did marry after my service btw.
There’s certainly some dramatization in this movie, but I believe there’s much less than most think. For instance, the scene where John Krasinski’s character, Jack Silva, momentarily lost his contact actually happened. The survivors were actually consultants during filming.
Some of them were. Boon and Jack gave their input but didn't wanna appear on camera so the other 3 (tanto, oz, and tig) did most of the heavy lifting and all the press interviews for it
Oh, I always love your reactions Ames. This one, I was gonna jump on some work around the house after lunch, but I saw this pop on my feed and decided work would have to wait!
Sean Smith was playing Eve online at the time of the invasion. We are all gamers on some level.

Not sure if you ever figured out where you thought you knew him from, but that actor also plays leckie in The Pacific, which is probably why you recognized him
Jim and Roy finally put aside their differences and kicked some ass
Most if not all of the American Casualties could have been avoided if Air assets would have been sent from one of our Mediterranean bases. Politicians failed these men and women that were serving in a hostile environment at the behest of their country.
You watched The Outpost yet? that's another true story that's awesome
that movie is pure propaganda. I have friend that were at Keating before and during the attack, that movie is a lot of pure bullshit.
Yes, this. All of this.
Absolutely, third this.
Totally agree
Good movie
Its so sad that when I see people watching his that no one has any clue who David Giuntoli is, I'm waiting for the day someone recognises him! Grimm is a must see show and its a fav since it came out. every year I watch every season multiple times, not even joking. Even if u dont do reaction videos to it, its such a good binge with a partner, staying inside, order a pizza and get snacks and use up ur whole Saturday getting through season 1 and keep doing a season a week and you'll be done in just over a month!

Thats Leckie from pacific!!
im glad to see his enuresis has cleared up at this time!

Jambo is a greeting like "whats up". Normally given by Ugandan security contractors which were very common on American bases in iraq.
Throwing the 2 bodies off the roof was rough to see, but that is Delta Force and probably other agencies SOP. During a firefight, you can't risk gently removing them. Too dangerous and takes too long. They chose the most expeditious solution.
This is the best Michael Bay film by far. It's his skill to maximize effort with a smart and quick script.

Kris “Tanto” Paranto also has a podcast that he co-hosts with a friend, called Battleline Podcast, it can be found here on UA-cam and on Spotify as well. It’s named after his company “Battleline Tactical” where he hold’s tactical firearm training to Military, police, and civilians. He’s had on a CIA targeter named Sarah Adams, who is to this day hunting down those responsible for the attack and she worked with Dave “Boone” Benton to create a book called “Know thy enemy”where they expose the identities of those individuals.
Also, quite funny about the gun courses he holds, seeing as in the movie he’s so conscious about gun safety and guns being pointed at him 😂
Hair looks amazing, Ames. This movie is more of a documentary, really.
you said "eye in the sky" in this video, and it made me think of the movie "Eye in the Sky" from 2015, its a small short flick but really good and accurate at depicting modern drone warfare, i'd recommend a watch!
How Hillary is still walking free is beyond me.....

All of our dead Brothers, along with Ambassador Chris Stevens are dead solely because of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and President Barak Obama as well as congressional warhawks on both sides of the aisle.

We have the point. We fight for each other, not a government. - Signed, An Ole 82nd Airborne Veteran
I just watched this movie for the first time a few months back! Really good and wildly underrated film!
Deposing Ghadafi turned Libya from a country with 95% litteracy rate to a failed state. The only reason international coalition did that was because France was afraid to lose financial influence in northern Africa as Ghadafi was trying to convince other north african countries to create common currency based on gold standard.
Great reaction Ames like always, about the phrase Riding Shotgun, that is a word that we still use today and where originated from in the Wild West, carriage men would often have a passenger whose job was to carry a shotgun to protect them along their way. Hence the reason we call shotgun when we want to sit in the passenger seat of a vehicle. Keep up the good work.
There are several videos on UA-cam in which Tanto gives talks about what really happened. He's a pretty good speaker'
Michael Bay’s best film. By a country mile. Our government under Killary and Barry left our men to die after destabilizing the country they were station in while they napped and “fundraised.”
I absolutely adore this movie. As you point out Ames, it shows the dedication of these soldiers turned contractors. Such a horrible situtation that could have been avoided. State had intel something might happen and did nothing. H. Clinton is ultimately responsible, but truly the loss of life is a State Dept failure as an organization.
Anyway, I love Transformers 1 for the camp, but this is my fave Bay movie.
Cheers!
Did Hillary face criminal charges? Just curious. Sounds like something that would be punishable if it was a cognitive choice to have US soldiers just die.
I agree there's plenty of failures at the State Dept, but the Pentagon and military brass also deserves plenty of heat and scrutiny. Did State never get them the permission to fly into Libya? If so, why didn't they move heaven and earth to get something, anything in the air. As stated, even a fly-over could have changed the course of events.
The actor playing Tyrone Woods is also in The Departed and The Pacific. The actor playing "Tanto", Pablo Schreiber, is also in The Wire and the Halo series. Three of the survivors served as advisors for this film. Another Michael Bay film like this I recommend watching is The Rock
Lets learn about the time Jim Halpert and Robert Leckie held down the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi
Great movie and reaction.
