Sounds like the heroes have connections there. One even grew up there. That community must be fit to be tied (i.e., deeply upset) that their hometown boys were left to be killed without requested protection. Come to think of it, these four were American heroes. They are hometown boys to us all.
Two of them were from there, and Glen Doherty made it his home as well. The admiral who is under investigation is also from there. As in, he was born there.
