CIF operators say “in 95% of cases when we deploy were operating with less than a third of the data the pukes had on 9-11.2”

The only thing i can think of is they knew the enemy had AA guns on their technicals and that Bengazi was/is full of MANPADS so they feared shoot-down.

From what I’ve read, the aircraft that the SEALs called for (and that could have been there within an hour, from Italy) can fly high above where they could be seen, and still hit the target. I don’t know how anti-aircraft stuff works, or the manpads, but I’d think it would be hard to aim anything at a plane too high for you to see...

Where did you hear this? I wonder if these are some of the whistle-blowers that Issa is hearing from. Seems like maybe the lies being told are so blatant that the people making them are just daring the rank-and-file military folks to report the truth. And it sounds like the rank-and-file might be taking them up on that dare.
