What realy happened.

Clear from any angle those Seals were absolut heroes that day. It would be good to know what the sources are for the information in the story. I had heard on the news that Ambassador Stevens died of smoke inhalation (certainly possibile if in a building on fire), but the above account uses the phrase "Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured". To me that suggests a wounding by some other means, like gunfire. Also, since early accounts that said Stevens was raped by the attackers, everything I have seen in the past 2 weeks made no mention of that?

Not surprising... I've heard stories of small contingents of operators taking on a far superior force and inflicting massive amounts of damage (See: SGTs Gordon and Shughart, Mogadishu 1993). RIP brothers, we will continue to seek justice for your untimely passing!
