Don't feed me some nonsense about Obama not wanting to jeopardize his chances of getting re-elected. No, there was something much more important at play here. Something that left the Americans to be left to twist in the wind
Reflections on "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi"
I have had my fill of snarky, smug reviews of "13 Hours"-- obviously written by folks who wouldn't know heroism and valor if they jumped up and bit 'em on the butt.
And that is the "tell" in the sort of reviews I'm referring to-- their total cluelessness regarding certain positive qualities which, once upon a time, were considered to be attributes that one strove to cultivate in their own character.
I'm speaking of virtues such as loyalty, bravery, camaraderie, patriotism, self-sacrifice, humility, and honor. These qualities are all on display front-and-center in the film "13 Hours," and yet so many of the reviews I've read fail to mention them even in passing.
