Except for the surviving special operators, they have kept the survivors away from interviewers. It is as if they have been put under house arrest or sent to Siberia. What was the extent of their injuries? What was it like to be put in this situation?

Some survivors have been in and out of hospitals from their wounds for a long time plus they all - apparently - had to sign papers that they would not talk to Congress, the media, etc.

Watched the movie 13 hours twice on pay on demand and paid both times. Worth every penny.

What made it so good, I think, was that it really exposed the fog of war that occurred that evening with civilians roaming around armed and not all were hostile to our guys.

That was a very scary environment and those heroes came through it with their honor intact, if not their bodies.

Just two days ago I got a copy of the book 13 Hours In Benghazi. I forced our local library to order a copy. I had already seen the film based on the book. I say forced as they claimed they had a copy but could not find it. Eventually, 6 months later, after I kept asking about it they got in a new copy.

I am still waiting for "The Art of the Deal" and "Clinton Cash" to arrive. I keep getting various excuses why the can't get a copy or it is so hard to find them. Apparently top best selling books which I can pick up on Amazon UK are very very difficult to find.
