I guess Chaffetz is lying:
AFRICOM Leader General Carter Ham Was Never Ordered to Save US Men in Benghazi
Per Rep. Jason Chaffetz R-UT asking General Ham directly:
(close paraphrase)
Did we have assets in the area? The answer is yes.
Did we have proximity? The answer is yes.
Why we didnt send in some of those assets? The general said he was not requested to do so.

What was not said was that the Gen.tried to help anyway,since Ham's obviously a patriot and believes in never leaving anyone behind.What happened next is a bit bizarre. Ham was was relieved of command 30 seconds later by a junior officer. Who says our military is not loaded with bad guys,it definitely is.
