[Enterprise]

What I want is to see the words in writing. I want to read that there was in fact a gunship a short distance away but it was not given permission to fire. That’s all I am asking for.

I heard FNC mention 2 drones over Benghazi during this mess.

I can only assume that Hellfires were slung under the wings of at least one of them.

I agree with you.... but perhaps as this story develops more details come out.
But, I still do not believe that that Ex-Navy Seal was focusing his laser on a target just to get his tingles on.

He was focusing that laser on his target for a reason and IF ? he knew there was not any air support close by there would have been no logical point to even try to acquire a target.
Since he had his laser focused on a target that most likely means there was air assets in the sky at the time close by.
