[QUOTE=rubicon;1174494]I am actually surprised that the movie was made and released to the theaters given the liberal movie industry[/QUOTE
I'm guessing they made the movie because they knew it would make money!!
I have seen "13 Hours" (as well as having read the book) and highly recommend that all see it. I believe the story, as presented by the three (of the six) men who were actually there, and who have repeatedly been interviewed on TV. Tonto, one of the three contract men recently spoke at a meeting here in the Villages. The three were an integral part of the making of the movie with their goal to make it as realistic as the actual event itself. They said that the movie depicts very accurately the 13 hours that they actually lived.
It is not unexpected that the CIA operative who gave the "stand down" order has denied that he said it. The CIA, as well as the individual in Washington who was ultimately responsible, also denies any culpability and claims that the three were/are not telling the truth. It is not surprising that those ultimately responsible for having allowed 4 people to needlessly die would deny the truth.
But the truth needs to be told and the truth is shown in the movie.
These guys are not politicians trying to cover there rears or running for any public office. They are simply 3 (out of 6) guys who know that there were four unnecessary deaths and that the truth needs to be known. They were the response team. They lived the horror. They lived the terror of war. They are the ones who saw their buddies die.
Go see the movie and then give your take on TOTV.
