“Stand down” was so that Obama could be re-elected and provide cover for Clinton (who I suspect was drunk at the much touted 3am). The military assets on the ground and air were ready and able. It is sickening. If I were a general, I would violate the order and save Americans but this was the Obama military. The fact that even under Trump, nobody speaks up nor are we privy to documents. I am sad to say that I really hate this government for what it has become. To think Clinton almost became president knowing just this episode is unconscionable.
