That was what our own Travis McGee indicated about info he had obtained.
“The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.
General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.
The story continues that now General Rodiguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africon.”

I remember reading an article saying the same, but can’t find it now. If I find it I’ll post a link. Maybe Travis McGee has a reference.
God bless General Ham. I had posted awhile ago that too bad no higher-ups had the guts and courage like the two ex-SEALS did to disobey orders so that more help was made available.

THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE PUBLIC.
