There are quiet heroes all around us, those that run to the sound of the guns. We have read and heard much about Benghazi however, much of what has been telegraphed has been filtered and selected information.
Personally I have been a student of Benghazi since the very second it occurred. Having put my pen to paper, I have researched Benghazi for all the smaller details that could be determined to analyze the ‘why’ of the failures to protect those two compounds from any attack.
There are laws in place as a result of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Those laws and procedures are often not followed, they are in fact waived for the sake of obscure diplomatic objectives and such was the case in Benghazi.
So this brings us to the attack on territory that is deemed sovereign even in a foreign country where an Ambassador was murdered. It should be noted here as well, that any Ambassador in country maintains the rank of a 4 star general. Sadly 3 others that terrible night in Benghazi perished as well. Because of waiver to protocol by many powerbrokers in DC that include those at the National Security Council, the White House and the State Department, any response to aid those Americans in Benghazi were left to perish.
Quiet heroes from the CIA annex stepped up against orders to save all they could and did succeed as almost 30 people were evacuated to safety after an intense night of hostilities.
One quiet hero was Kris Paranto. He was joined by several others including Tig and Oz that we have come to know from the Fox’s Bret Baier interview. There were other quiet heroes that night that deserve our praise and honor. Blessings to all of them for doing what they are trained and paid to do, go to the fight and win.
My distinct please was to interview Kris on radio who was generous giving us an hour of his time to offer details and conditions of the 9/11 attack on Benghazi.
Here is the interview with Kris.
The truth has no agenda if those with the truth can tell it.
There is valor in those who have the gravitas and Kris demonstrates those characteristics along with the countless others whose stories we may never know. The other quiet souls are the generous family members who graciously allow sons and daughters to serve across the world in hostile regions. Libya is hostile and has spiraled out of control and many militias there have pledged solidarity is Islamic State (Daesh/ISIS). Libya is a diplomatic failure that began under Hillary Clinton and since has been ignored by John Kerry, the White House and the National Security Council.
The Benghazi boys stood tall to win the fight and save who they could. Well done gentlemen, well done.
