“bring to life the events that went down there and reveal a lot about the security they did and did not have.”

I think you nailed it TigersEye. If we don't “bring to life” the story of what happened to our fallen heroes no one will care. It is the humanization of this story that must happen to get the American people to care enough to demand answers. Our news media has done a great disservice to our diplomatic corps serving abroad by ignoring a story that has real human interest aspects to it. They all came so close to surviving the two attacks despite the pathetic security you point out. It really pains me.

They all came close to surviving and yet all 41 came perilously close to being wiped out too. If Doherty and Woods hadn't been the kind of men they were, able and willing to put up a serious head-in-the-game kind of fight, there were plenty of jihadis with plenty of serious firepower to make it a complete massacre.

That is the human interest aspect of it to me. 0bama thought nothing of turning his back on over three dozen of his own emissaries. How much of a sociopathic monster is the POTUS?
