I do NOT believe General Bristol is telling us the truth. From what we’ve heard, read, by credible sources there isn’t any way to believe a stand down order was not given IMO. The evidence is in the fact the Ambassador, and four other Americans are dead.
I'm amazed and the number of military experts on this thread that can't even get this Marine's rank right.
That a good sign that we have a bunch of arm chair commandos.
So far, I've seen a Colonel called a General, and a Lt Col called a Colonel and a Lieutenant.
