13 Hours

[KAPA]

Been talking to others that have seen this thing and also listening to some of the buzz about it. This movie HAS EXPOSED CLINTON! You can bet it will take many swing votes away from her. I am sure her base and hard core Dems will write this off as the "vast right wing conspiracy" attacking her, but many of those swing voters and indies will catch wind of what actually happened and she is sunk! You watch, this will prompt Elizabeth Warren or Biden to jump in the race, hell if we are lucky, maybe Bloomberg will jump in as an independent and split the vote all up. I do not think they will just let Bernie Sanders have a cake walk to the nomination.

As for Hillary though, if there was ever someone who was criminally negligent in a job, this is it. I am not satisfied with her just not winning a 4 year stay in the oval office, if she does not get some sort of jail time, she is getting off WAAAAY too easy!

On another note, it is pretty clear that our leadership is not learning their lessons here of leaving small forces flapping in the wind. Just a month or so ago in Afghanistan there was a crew of spec ops guys surrounded by the Taliban in a pretty rough gunfight. From I heard they allowed one AC-130 to show up and fire 2 (count them: 2) rounds to try and save the day. I hear leadership was gunshy of any collateral damage but since then, we have not heard anything about what really went down.

Then just last week, we get this story (that sounds like bullshit) about 2 Navy boats that both had MX problems and then got captured by the Iranians. Why on earth do we have 2 freaking speedboats that far away from any heavy military hardware? There should be no reason we have boat like that too far away from a flyby of F18s.

Our military is getting let down at some point on the leadership chain and they need to figure this crap out quick. I know they are drooling all over these F35s but at well over $100MM a piece, maybe we should be investing our money else ware to spread things out a bit and get a better bang for our buck.

A10s and F16s are a little under $20MM a piece. You can get 5 of those for the price of a single F35. If we are going to have Americans spread around the world in every little shithole, we need to be able to protect every one of them or either get them out!

I have never left a movie theater pissed off before...

You must not of seen "The Thin Red Line". Wife and I walked out after about 15 mins of that POS movie.

I haven't yet seen "13 Hours"...but will. Probably piss me off, too.

Just saw this yesterday and wow... Well made, and that says a lot for Michael Bay. I left the theater coming down off an adrenaline rush and very very pissed off at Obummer and Hitlery. Bay specifically avoided pointing fingers at any one person, but did have some great implications that were somewhat subtle. The acting was far better than I expected and the action sequences were really well done. I likened the direction Bay took it as "We already know the story of what happened on this side of the world, with the phone ringing but no one answering; this film tells the story of who was calling and why."
Anyone else see it yet? Thoughts?
I know it'll never get a nod for an Oscar (but then again, who cares, right?), I think it was a story that needed to be told. I have yet to read the book, but I'm thinking that because the survivors had such a big hand in the production and writing that it was told true to what really happened. If you haven't seen it yet, I would say it's well worth paying the cost of admission.

You're a bad man and you should feel bad too!

I need to get the book, been told there are things in the book that were not in the movie... by someone who said there were things in the book he already knew, but couldn't share- he was happy but surprised some of those facts made it in the book.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Yes, definitely get the book. As usual, they had to do some compression to make it fit a movie length presentation. I applaud the movie for the simple fact that it is bringing the issue back to the forefront for a lot of people who wouldn't have watched the Congressional hearings or Fox News or read the book. The media elite (like the Washington ComPost) are busy trying to coordinate their attacks with Hillary's campaign or studiously ignoring the film but this film should increase awareness on a vast population who typically don't pay attention to these kinds of things.
