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.
And honesty and trustworthiness…don’t get me started. Have “we the people” ever had a less trustworthy and honest government?

Leave it to the critics and media of this communist society.

With BHO and Killary "in charge", the reason is guaranteed to be foul. Not even mentioned is the length of time it took our gubmint to "investigate". Thank GOD for men of valor.

It's the Truth, fool.

It is the truth. The men who were the actual people have been on several news shows now. They made sure the film was accurate in conjunction with Michael Bay. Some truth does come out of Hollywood. Sometimes, it's the ONLY chance for people to hear it when they fail to inform themselves through the regular channels.

The film is gripping and it definitely dispels all of Clinton's lies to the families of the victims. She should be a shamed of herself for accusing victims families of lying. All her other criminality aside, this shows she lacks any empathy and compassion for anyone but herself.

By the way, isn't that one of the signs of a person being psycho/sociopath?
