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.
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. ua-cam.com/video/pzBGHNzGi8M/v-deo.html
This incident still boils my blood. The amount of warning signs that were ignored, the steps that could have been taken to prevent it or help, and especially the lies and blame shifting that followed.
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.
Unfortunately, these guys and many others are sacrificed so the "important" people can save face and continue to build their poisonous narratives. Disgusting and wicked!
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.
This movie brought back all the anger I had at the time. Not only the bad decisions before and during this event but the lies told to the American people for many weeks even though they knew the truth an hour after the event happened. If it weren't for these brave men telling the story we may never have known at least part of the story.
That's the important takeaway. Its not that their were failures of intelligence, decision making, and planning. Or even that the "people upstairs" were denying them help. Its that they kept playing down what happened in the following weeks, making it obvious that the "people upstairs" were at fault.
If you saw the two insignias (the eagle with anchor, pistol and trident) of two of the guys who died, that indicates they were SEALs, so they definitely served in the military.
@@ThePuschkin1986 All of them served, even the guys guarding the Ambassador, most of Glen's group that came from Tripoli and the two Deltas were still serving.
@thomast8539 The guys guarding the ambassador were DSS (State Department Diplomatic Security Service. They have training similar to the Secret Service but guard the Secretary of State, ambassadors, and whatever foreign diplomat visiting the US may request) regardless of whatever military branch they may have served in prior to that
Shawn Ryan just did a podcast where he interviewed a former CIA officer who has inside information of what happened on this day. It’s a fantastic interview.
I have great respect for the guys who went in without orders because they felt they had to help. Then they protected the compound for hours, long enough to evacuate everyone there. They did exemplary work given the situation and with how outnumbered they were.
The thing I appreciated about this movie was the REAL way laser sights are used in combat. They're infrared and only show up using IR goggles so they don't give the position of the gunner away like they do in other movies with the red or green laser lines shooting out. Nobody sees them without goggles.
@@RobertMorgan Yes. That's why the slogan for the first Persian Gulf War was "We Own The Night" because of our preference and dominance in night engagements.
Night vision is every were and easy to source and have I have digital pvs31's thay look like the ones used in this film and thay easly read IR light and lasers its very easy to get nods
The compound had been under observation for some time, as had been the ambassador's residence. There had also been a few attacks, including one that put a hole in the perimeter wall. This kind of thing was why the other embassies and such had left the country. It is also amazing that, considering this, that support assets weren't in range to support them, especially after the ambassador was sent in.
@@Thane36425 Personally, individually, they have achieved a lot for themselves, their wealth, their influence and their monopoly. How come I have to point out the obvious to you? The gains are always for them at the top, it is never for the greater good.
The were in range. Hillary screwed that up. The Marine ACB was ordered back to Rota, Spain. The drone was on station for 13 hours. Hence the name. Many asset could have been on station. Hillary also denied extra security.
@@elessartelcontar9415Lol...because the State Department is always directly involved with real time military operations instead of say the Department of Defense. There were 10 separate investigations into Benghazi including 6 Republican led congressional hearings. None found Hillary guilty of anything. Ambassador Steven's own family said Clinton shouldn't be blamed and his death shouldn't be used for political points. The R's still turned it into a smear campaign because they knew Clinton was likely going to be the D's candidate for president. It's too bad so many Fox and Newsmax viewers fell for it.
Our Secretary of State did absolutely nothing. And then blamed it all on a UA-cam video. One of the most disgraceful and disgusting actions, or lack thereof, that could've happened.
i was in afghanistan when this happened and even we heard about it in a COP in the middle of nowhere and even out there we were like "why is no one helping them?" . wild.
Cassie, I can see this film literally caused you pain. It shows who you are as a person that you were willing to watch this film knowing it would be hard. May God richly bless you for bringing light to these warriors and their sacrifices!
Thank you Cassie for doing this movie, I know it can be a hard one to watch. I worked with Glen Doherty several times in the past, I was sad when I found out he had died.
i feel sorry for the soldiers sent into an impossible situation, and the families who mourn their loss. the politicians and covert operatives i leave to you, America.
Its really the administrations fault, considering they needed help, and they weren't even allowed in the country. They still have mad respect for the hold out very brave
Hi Cassie. Thank you again for this reaction , reactions like this help show the very human and emotional impact of what men like Jack, OZ and the team endured. It is beyond infuriating what this team faced. I feel for you when I see how visibly shaken and upset you get, it's never easy showing personal horrors of something like this. To the memory of Rone and Glen . And with thanks to all the vets like Jack, OZ, Tanto and the Annex team who serve and defend. God bless them all.
The fact our president at the time was told this was happening, then proceeded to fly with his family to go visit Beyonce while this was happening real time, is infuriating.
And what was he suppose to do? How would him sitting at home helped? I mean please. Use your head for two seconds. The president doesn’t just peace out and to visit Beyoncé. He is CONSTANTLY SURROUNDED by people feeding him real time info. How would the situation have turned out any different had he not been where he was? But it doesn’t matter cause guess what? ITS A LIE! Obama did not go see Beyoncé when it was happening. The president is tracked every minute of everyday. You can look up his itinerary for the time frame of Benghazi, and guess? He didn’t see Beyoncé!
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.
Mark ‘Oz’ Geist’s interview with Shawn Ryan. Tyrone was Shawn Ryan’s Navy Seal trainer during BUDS, neat connection there. ua-cam.com/video/Q9i_es05rWc/v-deo.htmlsi=rgB2Tsu8lh99Gb4l
There were a couple of points of controversy about this situation. The first was on the nature of the attack. It was portrayed by some as a violent protest rather than an assault. The second was why they did not get support. People fall on different sides of the issues, but those are the two main controversies.
When you daid "I'm conflicted" my brain instantly said "not for long lady." This movie is just a tip to the iceberg. And the people that play these chess games are truly untouchable, it's a damn shame.
“I don’t understand why no one is coming to help them.” -Cassie, none of us understood why no one was coming to help them. There should be high up politicians in prison over this, but if you say that you’re a conspiracy theorist. There are truly evil people running this country.
The story of these men was my motivation for joining the military. I only wish I was half as great as they are. I had the opportunity of meeting Tig earlier this year in Colorado Springs during his mayoral campaign, and learned about some of his work since Benghazi and the film. He truly has a gentle soul after all that he's experienced.
28:14 "I don't get why nobody's coming to help them" Exactly. Thats what the controversy is mainly about. The US government decided not to send any form of support for political reasons during and prior to the event.
Hillary Clinton was illegally moving weapons through Libya. This happened entirely because of her. The "political reasons" they didn't send help, was to cover her own ass.
I remember this being filmed. It was shot mostly in Malta. Surprising how many blockbusters were filmed here on this little Island . Troy, Gladiator, Count of Monte cristo...
A "Technical" is any Civilian Vehicle with a Mounted Weapon. This could be a Sudan with a mounted machine gun, a pickup truck with a mounted mortar launcher, or a moving van with a 18th-century cannon in the back.
I have really strong feelings about what happened in Benghazi but this is neither the time nor the place to share them. For now I'll settle for concurring with Cassie and wishing everyone a happy belated Veterans/Remembrance Day.
was on a joint diplomatic security team in my younger years before this attack happened this was deff a worst fear we had if attacked and how long could we hold before a SRT team to get to us and how are defence would be set up.
Awesome reaction Cassie. You're so right when you say this feature film is the closest someone could come to actually experiencing an actual combat situation. Merry Christmas and thank you for taking time to honor veterans who make possible the freedom and safety we enjoy!
Great film. Tanto, Oz and Tig have done some great talks/interviews that are avail on YT and are worth a watch if you want some first hand accounts of what happened. Proper legends these guys.
I spent 26 years in the Army...I detest Hillary Clinton to this day because of this! She refused to send help and then said "What does it matter" during a congressional hearing. I wouldn't spit on her if she was on fire.
An absolute disgrace that our “leaders” at the time, left them their to die and tried to sweep it under the rug. And not even a slap on the wrist for any of them
Unfortunately that happens all to often the inaction the none action of our leaders the fact that they don't work with speed when it counts to save their own
This movie, along with 'Black Hawk Down' are my favorite war movies. Yes, with all war movies there will be inaccuracies but the bravery and steel of these men is what needed to be shown and it was. They were failed by their chief, their president, their secretary of defense, and everyone in between. Sidebar as a soldier of 12yrs currently, thank you for your support and content!! It keeps us going!!
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
when i just noticed you wearing a poppy it made me tear up pretty good! Ive been to A Lot of military funerals, more than i can count. Worst one was watching a Marine give my mom a folded flag... You have no idea how much it means to see you wearing that. Thank you Cassie. Happy Veterans Day to you and your family.
34:20 - It became controversial because a certain secretary of state sat on her hands as this happened. A certain political party didn't really want anyone to talk about this afterwards. "What difference, at this time, does it make" was the quote that sunk her, and showed her true colors.
We had military assets all over the region at the time. I was one of them and about an hour away that night. My team and I didn't even know that it happened until two days later. We were the CLOSEST available support but the government was so desperate to keep it off the radar that we weren't even notified.
@@jasonwilliamson8416 O course they wanted to keep it under the radar, they didn't want it to affect the re election effort of B. Hussein in less than 2 months.
"All the Gods, All the Heavens, All thr Hells are within you" I tattooed that on my arm. Its a quote by Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth. Be a warrior in a garden my friends.
Please forgive me have not been on UA-cam during the summer, But as a Veteran as I said in the past 75th Rangers Lead The Way. I had to watch this one with you, This movie holds a special place in my heart wont go in to details , and why I so dislike what and how our Secretary Of State and the time screwed up. Lets Roll
I ran into Tonto about two months ago at the Atlanta airport while traveling. He was traveling too, headed to speak in San Antonio. If you happen to see him, he is a really nice guy, Humble, and easy to engage in conversation.
This holiday was originally called Armistice day and celebrated on Nov 11th because the ww1 armistice was to occur on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
DS stands for Diplomatic Security, there were only 5 diplomatic security agents assigned to protecting the embassy as that was all the State Dept functionary allowed even though they had requested more TWICE due to the continuous level of violence in the city including all around the embassy, she said, "five is adequate", she even had the gall to defend her decision and said after the attack that "five was adequate"!
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.
The type of betrayal that comes from having a treacherous, compromised, and politically motivated Leftist in the oval office and a lying, corrupt and criminally influenced racketeer as Secretary of State.
One you have to add after this was The Outpost, didn’t get a ton of attention cause it was released directly on Netflix while theaters were shut down for Covid, but very good.
Thank you for wearing a red poppy on Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day. In Flanders Fields 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 In Flanders fields.
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.
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.
I remember this thing in news. I remember thinking "are you kidding me?" and whole bs circus that went after this Washington trying to shift blaim. This is Michael Bay's best film with The Rock and Armageddon (which are entertaining but this is amazing in different reasons) this is just absolutely tense film and I was so surprised after film to see it was Michael Bay's film
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.
Cassie, Thankyou for reacting to this film and giving it more exposure. The American people deserve to know the truth of how their politicians betrayed those brave warriors & veteran's.
Great job! One of my favorite movies and you more than did it justice. Let me recommend Tears of The Sun with Bruce Willis, Monica Belluci and Cole Hauser (Yellowstone).
People like to politicize things. To make whatever side they support look good, and the opposition look bad. Yeah what happened here was a disgrace. But disgraces like this are caused by both sides and have been for ages.
@@AdoreYouInAshXI Government of the People. Our name is attached to it. Its a concept of leadership that when people under your command fail, its ultimately your responsibility even if you technically did everything right. Do not confuse responsibility with guilt. The guilt is not ours, but the responsibility to make it right is.
Might be Bay’s best film. Somewhat subdued as Bay fils go, and definitely lifted up by many of the performers in the film, harkens back to his earlier films where his style hadn’t become a joke yet. Great film.
@@ar471 The six seasons of Bosch and now as I wrap up the second season of Bosch: Legacy, I without a doubt say that Bosch is one of the best shows of the last 10-15 years. Absolutely fantastic. I'm always a bit saddened when the seasons end because I know i have to wait another year. Definitely on my top 5 shows of all time. Reacher season 2 is coming out Mid-December, just an FYI.
no need to apologize for offering a quick explanation of events as they are unfolding, popcorn. There's a lot of moving parts in this story, your commentary helps a lot to help sort it out. 🙂
So glad to finally see this reaction on your channel! It’s a fantastic movie and true story told by the actual guys that were there. Pretty cool to see Jim and Roy team up and fight the bad guys as well lol
Nobody came to help because this was too close to the 2012 election. The Obama administration wanted this swept under the rug, because it was irrefutable evidence that he was incompetent and he would have not had a 2nd term.
Glad you watched this one. It's an important film to help Americans understand what happened there. By the way, since I've started following your channel, your knowledge level has greatly improved. Tactically speaking, your comments were on point. "They need air support." "This is not good."... You're a smart lady.
Good reaction Cas, as always. If another “true War story is needed, consider the Vietnam Nam War movie “ Hamburger Hill. “. It’s a film seldom reacted to on UA-cam reaction channels, which is a shame because it is a very well made film that is historically accurate. And it gave a lot of talented young actors a start in their careers in film and tv.
Yes, the most accurate Vietnam war movies are not the ones that got the Oscar treatment from the ex-flower children of Hollywood. Hamburger Hill The Hanoi Hilton The Siege of Firebase Gloria We Were Soldiers Gardens of Stone
I recommend "The Kingdom" staring Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Chris Cooper, and Ashraf Barho. Same Director as Lone Survivor. Peter Berg.
Read???? Books? Those things with all those pages that you have to turn by hand? Reading one of those things could take hours and you would risk paper cuts !!!! Maybe the audio is available? *sarcasm* There is a reason books are better than the films made from them.
This is one of my top favorite three movies. I've watched it more times than I can count. The movie is extremely accurate. I read the book 13 hours and the movie is spot on according to the book. The acting, action, music...everything about this movie is fantastic. I'm sure I'll watch it 1000 times more before I die, it's that good.
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.
The CIA base chief is just as culpable as the disgusting "human" sitting in the SOS chair. 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.
I attended the premiere of this movie at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The survivors were in attendance. They stated that this film was hyper accurate. That's good enough for me. The controversy comes from the fact that the administration at the time did nothing even after repeated calls for help. And there never were answers as to where the President or Secretary of State were even located during those 13 hours.
Ah, hell ya this counts as a salute to the vets movie. All those GRS contractors were prior Seals, Rangers, or Marines. You can’t get more HOO-RAH high speed than that.
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!
If you’d like to learn more about what happened, I highly recommend watching former CIA targeter Sarah Adams sit down on the Shawn Ryan Show and discuss it. It’s a podcast on UA-cam. You kept saying “I don’t understand why no one will help them” that was the controversy, politicians intentionally lying to save face.
What a cluster by those in charge. I always loved the excuse, we could not have got help to them before it was over. How the hell do you know when an active battle is going to be over. Bull____. The airbase in Italy was not that far away. Also, FYI terrorists like to do things on anniversaries. So, if you have common sense (which is rare these days), you would be on high alert and ready. 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.
You are genuine in a world full of fake. Your commentary and reactions are authentic. You understand to some degree the plight that members of our armed forces face. Thank you.
If you guys haven't seen it already, FNG Academy did a great reaction to 13 Hours from the perspective of a couple Rangers (scrolls not tabs). FNG Academy and Popcorn in Bed are the two best reaction channels on UA-cam.
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.
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.
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.

also if i am not mistake the ambassador was a wow player very well known.
Yep, I remember. Sean will be missed.
this is soo stupid...if they did this for the usual majority of viewers, then the regular people don’t even know what kind of game COD is@@TheMule71
This incident still boils my blood. The amount of warning signs that were ignored, the steps that could have been taken to prevent it or help, and especially the lies and blame shifting that followed.
I guess the people involved were powerful people and therefore were above the law.
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.
You expect anything different from Hillary?
@@johncostello6006, Not at all.
Unfortunately, these guys and many others are sacrificed so the "important" people can save face and continue to build their poisonous narratives. Disgusting and wicked!
13 hours has got to be one of the best military movies ever hands-down and perhaps Michael Bay’s best film.
Three of the survivors from this attack helped make this movie possible. I was serving when this happened
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.
Thank you for your service, BlackShirt.
Thank you for your service.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 I was still in Comm School at The Stumps. We were told it was over a video the attackers thought was "offensive"
Remember this is a true story,this is how it happened
This movie brought back all the anger I had at the time. Not only the bad decisions before and during this event but the lies told to the American people for many weeks even though they knew the truth an hour after the event happened. If it weren't for these brave men telling the story we may never have known at least part of the story.
That's the important takeaway.
Its not that their were failures of intelligence, decision making, and planning. Or even that the "people upstairs" were denying them help.
Its that they kept playing down what happened in the following weeks, making it obvious that the "people upstairs" were at fault.
wait, you mean it wasn't instigated by a youtube video?
🤣@@flerbus

If you saw the two insignias (the eagle with anchor, pistol and trident) of two of the guys who died, that indicates they were SEALs, so they definitely served in the military.
all of them served. Tanto was an Army Ranger, Tig, Boone and Oz were Marines, Silva and Rone SEALs.
@@ThePuschkin1986 All of them served, even the guys guarding the Ambassador, most of Glen's group that came from Tripoli and the two Deltas were still serving.
I had always assumed you had to have some sort of military background to serve as that kind of contractor with CIA.
@@ThePuschkin1986You forgot Glen just fyi. SEAL as well
@thomast8539 The guys guarding the ambassador were DSS (State Department Diplomatic Security Service. They have training similar to the Secret Service but guard the Secretary of State, ambassadors, and whatever foreign diplomat visiting the US may request) regardless of whatever military branch they may have served in prior to that
Shawn Ryan just did a podcast where he interviewed a former CIA officer who has inside information of what happened on this day. It’s a fantastic interview.
he also had Oz on his podcast not to long ago
Because of Shawn Ryan’s interview of that CIA officer…I dislike Bob 100,000% more.
Both the interview with Oz and Sarah were fantastic.
Shawn Ryan does some great interviews. Crazy hearing the first hand account
I’ve yet to watch it and love Shawn Ryan🙌🏼
I have great respect for the guys who went in without orders because they felt they had to help. Then they protected the compound for hours, long enough to evacuate everyone there. They did exemplary work given the situation and with how outnumbered they were.
The thing I appreciated about this movie was the REAL way laser sights are used in combat. They're infrared and only show up using IR goggles so they don't give the position of the gunner away like they do in other movies with the red or green laser lines shooting out. Nobody sees them without goggles.
I just hope 16,000 pairs of IR goggles don't somehow end up in the hands of any bad guys out there. That would be a real disaster...
I appreciated that too. IR/Thermal/Image intensification is an actual superpower.
@@RobertMorgan Yes. That's why the slogan for the first Persian Gulf War was "We Own The Night" because of our preference and dominance in night engagements.
@@WarGamerGirl News flash: You can get IR goggles just about anywhere
Night vision is every were and easy to source and have I have digital pvs31's thay look like the ones used in this film and thay easly read IR light and lasers its very easy to get nods
Tig is running for mayor of my hometown Colorado Springs. VOTE 4 TIG!
Really I didn’t know that, imma have to vote for him
Cant imagine a better major
The compound had been under observation for some time, as had been the ambassador's residence. There had also been a few attacks, including one that put a hole in the perimeter wall. This kind of thing was why the other embassies and such had left the country. It is also amazing that, considering this, that support assets weren't in range to support them, especially after the ambassador was sent in.
Support assets were less than 30 minutes away, but Washington chose to do nothing.
Or that they were there at all. This was so obviously predictable. That's what happens when you put the inmates in charge of the asylum.
@@gravitypronepart2201 They don't seem to have accomplished much, given the troubles that are spreading to the south and elsewhere.
@@Thane36425 Personally, individually, they have achieved a lot for themselves, their wealth, their influence and their monopoly. How come I have to point out the obvious to you? The gains are always for them at the top, it is never for the greater good.
The were in range. Hillary screwed that up. The Marine ACB was ordered back to Rota, Spain. The drone was on station for 13 hours. Hence the name. Many asset could have been on station. Hillary also denied extra security.
The ambassador suffered horrifically before he died, glad they didn’t show what actually happened to him. R.I.P
I've seen the footage; it messed me up and really angered me at Hillary's incompetence and malfeasance.
@@elessartelcontar9415 exactly right
@@elessartelcontar9415 never attribute to incompetence what is more likely intent.
@@elessartelcontar9415Lol...because the State Department is always directly involved with real time military operations instead of say the Department of Defense. There were 10 separate investigations into Benghazi including 6 Republican led congressional hearings. None found Hillary guilty of anything. Ambassador Steven's own family said Clinton shouldn't be blamed and his death shouldn't be used for political points. The R's still turned it into a smear campaign because they knew Clinton was likely going to be the D's candidate for president. It's too bad so many Fox and Newsmax viewers fell for it.
@@elessartelcontar9415it wasn’t incompetence. She and Obama are pure evil, their heart is filled with contempt and hatred for their own country.
Our Secretary of State did absolutely nothing. And then blamed it all on a UA-cam video. One of the most disgraceful and disgusting actions, or lack thereof, that could've happened.
Killery Clinton wanted to see if she could beat the record her husband set in Somalia for the most military personnel needlessly killed.
Just say her name, Hilary Clinton. She just left them all to die.
Still bullshit that no one was held responsible for their deaths.
Can't see any of the replies here. Fancy that.
This is where the Secretary of State got her nickname The Butcher of Bengazi
John Krasinski actually trained like a Navy SEAL, to look like his role. He gained 25 pounds of muscle, and his body fat, dropped to 9%.
To those who requested this movie. Thank you. Absolutely my favorite Bey film - yet so heart breaking.
i was in afghanistan when this happened and even we heard about it in a COP in the middle of nowhere and even out there we were like "why is no one helping them?" . wild.
Cassie, I can see this film literally caused you pain. It shows who you are as a person that you were willing to watch this film knowing it would be hard.
May God richly bless you for bringing light to these warriors and their sacrifices!
Thank you Cassie for doing this movie, I know it can be a hard one to watch. I worked with Glen Doherty several times in the past, I was sad when I found out he had died.
i feel sorry for the soldiers sent into an impossible situation, and the families who mourn their loss.
the politicians and covert operatives i leave to you, America.
Its really the administrations fault, considering they needed help, and they weren't even allowed in the country. They still have mad respect for the hold out very brave
A criminally underrated film.
Thanks for remembering our Veterans.
Hi Cassie. Thank you again for this reaction , reactions like this help show the very human and emotional impact of what men like Jack, OZ and the team endured. It is beyond infuriating what this team faced. I feel for you when I see how visibly shaken and upset you get, it's never easy showing personal horrors of something like this.
To the memory of Rone and Glen . And with thanks to all the vets like Jack, OZ, Tanto and the Annex team who serve and defend. God bless them all.
The fact our president at the time was told this was happening, then proceeded to fly with his family to go visit Beyonce while this was happening real time, is infuriating.
Well he an his family are monkies so it’s not surprising. They aren’t the smartest.
people like obama because hes black and charismatic, but besides president dementia now, he was one of the worst presidents of the last century.
would you rather he went golfing at one of his courses?
@@storagebox1793 you do realize who president was back when this happened right?
And what was he suppose to do? How would him sitting at home helped? I mean please. Use your head for two seconds. The president doesn’t just peace out and to visit Beyoncé. He is CONSTANTLY SURROUNDED by people feeding him real time info. How would the situation have turned out any different had he not been where he was? But it doesn’t matter cause guess what?
ITS A LIE! Obama did not go see Beyoncé when it was happening. The president is tracked every minute of everyday. You can look up his itinerary for the time frame of Benghazi, and guess? He didn’t see Beyoncé!
This movie is so well done it angers me others so much. The lack of reaction to this situation. Before and during.
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.
Eric Prince is a traitorous pos, get your head out of the ground.
Mark ‘Oz’ Geist’s interview with Shawn Ryan. Tyrone was Shawn Ryan’s Navy Seal trainer during BUDS, neat connection there.

There were a couple of points of controversy about this situation. The first was on the nature of the attack. It was portrayed by some as a violent protest rather than an assault. The second was why they did not get support. People fall on different sides of the issues, but those are the two main controversies.
When you daid "I'm conflicted" my brain instantly said "not for long lady." This movie is just a tip to the iceberg. And the people that play these chess games are truly untouchable, it's a damn shame.
Glen Doherty was actually from the town right next to mine. Every year they hold a memorial/fundraiser run in his honor.
“I don’t understand why no one is coming to help them.”
-Cassie, none of us understood why no one was coming to help them. There should be high up politicians in prison over this, but if you say that you’re a conspiracy theorist. There are truly evil people running this country.
The story of these men was my motivation for joining the military. I only wish I was half as great as they are. I had the opportunity of meeting Tig earlier this year in Colorado Springs during his mayoral campaign, and learned about some of his work since Benghazi and the film. He truly has a gentle soul after all that he's experienced.
28:14 "I don't get why nobody's coming to help them" Exactly. Thats what the controversy is mainly about. The US government decided not to send any form of support for political reasons during and prior to the event.
Military could have flown jets even from Italy in time to help, and they were never sent. F*k Rodham
@@sterling557 Pilots were in jets waiting for approval and never received it because Hillary couldn't be bothered.
Hillary Clinton was illegally moving weapons through Libya. This happened entirely because of her. The "political reasons" they didn't send help, was to cover her own ass.
I remember this being filmed. It was shot mostly in Malta. Surprising how many blockbusters were filmed here on this little Island . Troy, Gladiator, Count of Monte cristo...
A "Technical" is any Civilian Vehicle with a Mounted Weapon. This could be a Sudan with a mounted machine gun, a pickup truck with a mounted mortar launcher, or a moving van with a 18th-century cannon in the back.
I have really strong feelings about what happened in Benghazi but this is neither the time nor the place to share them. For now I'll settle for concurring with Cassie and wishing everyone a happy belated Veterans/Remembrance Day.
Share them.
was on a joint diplomatic security team in my younger years before this attack happened this was deff a worst fear we had if attacked and how long could we hold before a SRT team to get to us and how are defence would be set up.
Awesome reaction Cassie. You're so right when you say this feature film is the closest someone could come to actually experiencing an actual combat situation. Merry Christmas and thank you for taking time to honor veterans who make possible the freedom and safety we enjoy!
Blackhawk Down..happened..and takes you into the firefight
Great film. Tanto, Oz and Tig have done some great talks/interviews that are avail on YT and are worth a watch if you want some first hand accounts of what happened. Proper legends these guys.
I spent 26 years in the Army...I detest Hillary Clinton to this day because of this! She refused to send help and then said "What does it matter" during a congressional hearing. I wouldn't spit on her if she was on fire.
I am with you on this brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When she said..... "What difference does it make!" crossed the line. We will never forget what she did!
Her and Obama. Both are truly evil people, not just bad people, evil people.
Hour after hour no help came. Ambassador Chris Stevens was was loved and truly believed he could help effect change there
This movie had me in tears .. the amount of denial around this dishonoured many people.
The Shawn Ryan podcast did an interview with a CIA targeter that was super insightful on what happened in Benghazi.
An absolute disgrace that our “leaders” at the time, left them their to die and tried to sweep it under the rug. And not even a slap on the wrist for any of them
Unfortunately that happens all to often the inaction the none action of our leaders the fact that they don't work with speed when it counts to save their own
You don't get the name killary from just (alleged) political assassinations
'Rone' was a family friend. May he and the others rest in peace.
This movie, along with 'Black Hawk Down' are my favorite war movies. Yes, with all war movies there will be inaccuracies but the bravery and steel of these men is what needed to be shown and it was. They were failed by their chief, their president, their secretary of defense, and everyone in between.
Sidebar as a soldier of 12yrs currently, thank you for your support and content!! It keeps us going!!
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
when i just noticed you wearing a poppy it made me tear up pretty good! Ive been to A Lot of military funerals, more than i can count. Worst one was watching a Marine give my mom a folded flag... You have no idea how much it means to see you wearing that. Thank you Cassie. Happy Veterans Day to you and your family.
One of the greatest and also one of the saddest war movies ever made. Based on the real life 2012 Benghazi Embassy Incident.
but so many historical accuracy issue in this movie lol
Do yall even watch before posting
@@MaxArchnone of hollywood films are accurate. Hollywood did 2 type of military movies, propaganda or parody/satire
For american yeah, the rest of the world hates US military because of "world Police"
34:20 - It became controversial because a certain secretary of state sat on her hands as this happened. A certain political party didn't really want anyone to talk about this afterwards. "What difference, at this time, does it make" was the quote that sunk her, and showed her true colors.
Was ANYBODY in the federal government held accountable for this? As in jailed, let alone fired? For God’s sakes, a U.S. ambassador died!
Nope.
@@lynnjohanssen6552 The political establishment protects its own. Thus continues the drift towards socialism.
We had military assets all over the region at the time. I was one of them and about an hour away that night. My team and I didn't even know that it happened until two days later. We were the CLOSEST available support but the government was so desperate to keep it off the radar that we weren't even notified.
@@jasonwilliamson8416 O course they wanted to keep it under the radar, they didn't want it to affect the re election effort of B. Hussein in less than 2 months.
Nope, Hilary blamed the whole thing on a youtube video and then said "it doesn't matter" when she was questioned about it.
Thank you for honoring us veterans Cassie. It took so long to get them help because nobody knew this base existed.
I've trained with Kris Paronto and Dave Boone. Awesome down to Earth guys.
"All the Gods, All the Heavens, All thr Hells are within you" I tattooed that on my arm. Its a quote by Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth. Be a warrior in a garden my friends.
Please forgive me have not been on UA-cam during the summer, But as a Veteran as I said in the past 75th Rangers Lead The Way. I had to watch this one with you, This movie holds a special place in my heart wont go in to details , and why I so dislike what and how our Secretary Of State and the time screwed up. Lets Roll
Anyone who says these guys' sacrifices didn't count has no room to talk about what sacrifice is.
This film is epic. Brilliant movie. Great cast, filming, editing, sound design.
I ran into Tonto about two months ago at the Atlanta airport while traveling. He was traveling too, headed to speak in San Antonio. If you happen to see him, he is a really nice guy, Humble, and easy to engage in conversation.
This holiday was originally called Armistice day and celebrated on Nov 11th because the ww1 armistice was to occur on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
DS stands for Diplomatic Security, there were only 5 diplomatic security agents assigned to protecting the embassy as that was all the State Dept functionary allowed even though they had requested more TWICE due to the continuous level of violence in the city including all around the embassy, she said, "five is adequate", she even had the gall to defend her decision and said after the attack that "five was adequate"!
One of Michael Bay's best films, he works best as a director on serious movies.
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.
The type of betrayal that comes from having a treacherous, compromised, and politically motivated Leftist in the oval office and a lying, corrupt and criminally influenced racketeer as Secretary of State.
Great reaction Cassie, thanks for the shout out in the chat, Home Of The Brave and American Sniper are good war films. I suggest them for Patreon.
One you have to add after this was The Outpost, didn’t get a ton of attention cause it was released directly on Netflix while theaters were shut down for Covid, but very good.
Thank you for wearing a red poppy on Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day.
In Flanders Fields
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
In Flanders fields.
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.
Absolutely a fantastic account of actual events..powerful!!!
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.
I remember this thing in news. I remember thinking "are you kidding me?" and whole bs circus that went after this Washington trying to shift blaim. This is Michael Bay's best film with The Rock and Armageddon (which are entertaining but this is amazing in different reasons) this is just absolutely tense film and I was so surprised after film to see it was Michael Bay's film
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.
Muammar Gaddafi Was a Bonnie dictator at this point there was know reason to overthrow him the war hawks wanted another endless war like Iraq
Books to read:
1. Benghazi: Know Thy Enemy by Sarah Adams (CIA) & Dave 'Boon' Benton
2. 13 Hours in Benghazi by Mitchell Zuckoff
Welp, this one might leave ya mad! Happy Veterans Day to all
Cassie, Thankyou for reacting to this film and giving it more exposure. The American people deserve to know the truth of how their politicians betrayed those brave warriors & veteran's.
Great job! One of my favorite movies and you more than did it justice. Let me recommend Tears of The Sun with Bruce Willis, Monica Belluci and Cole Hauser (Yellowstone).
People like to politicize things. To make whatever side they support look good, and the opposition look bad. Yeah what happened here was a disgrace. But disgraces like this are caused by both sides and have been for ages.
I am looking forward to this review.
Too bad our country let these men down.
We...we let them down. Whether we are guilty, the responsibility is still ours. Our responsibility to make it right.
@@ScarriorIII That makes no sense.
@@AdoreYouInAshXI Government of the People. Our name is attached to it. Its a concept of leadership that when people under your command fail, its ultimately your responsibility even if you technically did everything right. Do not confuse responsibility with guilt. The guilt is not ours, but the responsibility to make it right is.
@@ScarriorIII It's a neat concept but impossible to really be practical. How do you make it right with a corrupt justice system, and officials?
@@AdoreYouInAshXI let the answer be unspoken, for it need not to be said to be understood.
Might be Bay’s best film. Somewhat subdued as Bay fils go, and definitely lifted up by many of the performers in the film, harkens back to his earlier films where his style hadn’t become a joke yet. Great film.
Good to see Jim and Roy squashed their beef and can work together.
Ha! Good one. "Roy" has been on Bosch recently. Super creepy character.
@@RocksOff72 Haven’t even started the first season. Good watch?
@@ar471 The six seasons of Bosch and now as I wrap up the second season of Bosch: Legacy, I without a doubt say that Bosch is one of the best shows of the last 10-15 years. Absolutely fantastic. I'm always a bit saddened when the seasons end because I know i have to wait another year. Definitely on my top 5 shows of all time.
Reacher season 2 is coming out Mid-December, just an FYI.
no need to apologize for offering a quick explanation of events as they are unfolding, popcorn. There's a lot of moving parts in this story, your commentary helps a lot to help sort it out. 🙂
This is a top 5 military movie in my opinion. Michael Bay’s masterpiece.
Rone owned a bar in Imperial Beach, CA called Salty Frog. It’s still open and has a plaque for Rone by the door. Great spot to get a drink.
So glad to finally see this reaction on your channel! It’s a fantastic movie and true story told by the actual guys that were there. Pretty cool to see Jim and Roy team up and fight the bad guys as well lol
My appreciation for John Krasinski increased a ton for his willingness to help tell this story.
"I don't get why no one's coming to help them."
You said it all, sister.
Nobody came to help because this was too close to the 2012 election. The Obama administration wanted this swept under the rug, because it was irrefutable evidence that he was incompetent and he would have not had a 2nd term.
Act of Valor would be a good Veterans Day movie.
Glad you watched this one. It's an important film to help Americans understand what happened there. By the way, since I've started following your channel, your knowledge level has greatly improved. Tactically speaking, your comments were on point. "They need air support." "This is not good."... You're a smart lady.
Good reaction Cas, as always. If another “true War story is needed, consider the Vietnam Nam War movie “ Hamburger Hill. “. It’s a film seldom reacted to on UA-cam reaction channels, which is a shame because it is a very well made film that is historically accurate. And it gave a lot of talented young actors a start in their careers in film and tv.
Yes, the most accurate Vietnam war movies are not the ones that got the Oscar treatment from the ex-flower children of Hollywood.
Hamburger Hill
The Hanoi Hilton
The Siege of Firebase Gloria
We Were Soldiers
Gardens of Stone
I recommend "The Kingdom" staring Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Chris Cooper, and Ashraf Barho. Same Director as Lone Survivor. Peter Berg.
“I don’t get why nobody is coming to help them” … well that would be Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton’s fault.
You know why. Democrats hate America and our military personnel. It’s a known fact they hate America and what have they done since.
Either from being a musician in National Guard Air Force or being a SEAL Operator, all deserves the support this veterans day.
Read the BOOK Cassie. You will understand
Read???? Books? Those things with all those pages that you have to turn by hand? Reading one of those things could take hours and you would risk paper cuts !!!! Maybe the audio is available? *sarcasm* There is a reason books are better than the films made from them.
This is one of my top favorite three movies. I've watched it more times than I can count. The movie is extremely accurate. I read the book 13 hours and the movie is spot on according to the book. The acting, action, music...everything about this movie is fantastic. I'm sure I'll watch it 1000 times more before I die, it's that good.
AND HILLARY
SAID, "what does it mstter"!!! Sick
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.
The CIA base chief is just as culpable as the disgusting "human" sitting in the SOS chair. 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.
I attended the premiere of this movie at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The survivors were in attendance. They stated that this film was hyper accurate. That's good enough for me. The controversy comes from the fact that the administration at the time did nothing even after repeated calls for help. And there never were answers as to where the President or Secretary of State were even located during those 13 hours.
Ah, hell ya this counts as a salute to the vets movie. All those GRS contractors were prior Seals, Rangers, or Marines. You can’t get more HOO-RAH high speed than that.
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!
If you’d like to learn more about what happened, I highly recommend watching former CIA targeter Sarah Adams sit down on the Shawn Ryan Show and discuss it. It’s a podcast on UA-cam. You kept saying “I don’t understand why no one will help them” that was the controversy, politicians intentionally lying to save face.
I'm a grown ass man and I always cry when I watch this movie.
What a cluster by those in charge. I always loved the excuse, we could not have got help to them before it was over. How the hell do you know when an active battle is going to be over. Bull____. The airbase in Italy was not that far away. Also, FYI terrorists like to do things on anniversaries. So, if you have common sense (which is rare these days), you would be on high alert and ready. 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.
You are genuine in a world full of fake. Your commentary and reactions are authentic. You understand to some degree the plight that members of our armed forces face. Thank you.
If you guys haven't seen it already, FNG Academy did a great reaction to 13 Hours from the perspective of a couple Rangers (scrolls not tabs). FNG Academy and Popcorn in Bed are the two best reaction channels on UA-cam.
Will watch it next. Thanks for the tip!!!
Love FNG guys.
Never heard of them. Is FNG their names?
@@ct6852 It likely stands for "F$%^ing New Guys"
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.
