The Soldiers From Benghazi

 The Soldiers From Benghazi

The story of Benghazi is an interesting story because it describes the incongruencies that have occurred even against soldiers. In the story of Benghazi, a few American soldiers went to Benghazi to help the American diplomat in Libya. It was noted that the zone was stable due to the efficiency of the American diplomat. Because the zone was stable, there were attempts to cause conflict and division. It was noted by the American diplomat that there was instability in the zone, noting that the jihadi terrorists were organizing and causing chaos and rioting.

We learn that a few soldiers (about 10) went to provide support and stability to the area. The diplomat had voiced concern about how there were jihadi terrorists who were violently protesting, rioting, and causing chaos. To this he was provided a few soldiers and told that there was no actual concern. The diplomat again described his concern about the amount of instability and was again told to not be concerned. 

Eventually, the jihadi terrorists went against the U.S. Embassy and harmed the American Diplomat. The American soldiers attempted to rescue the American diplomat yet found themselves fighting against waves of jihadi terrorists. The few soldiers requested air evacuation or at least a fly over from Tripoli, the nearest place with fighterplanes, and they were negated the request. Again despite requesting assistance, the soldiers were negated fighterplanes. It is interesting to note if the diplomat and soldiers were envied for being amazing at their profession. 

The American soldiers fought against more than 2,000 jihadi soldiers with the jihadi soldiers going in waves of 50 and 100s against the 10 American soldiers. Despite all of this, the 10 American soldiers were able to fight off more than 2,000 jihadi radical terrorists. When the terrorists could not fight the American soldiers, they brought in mortars and explosives describing the cowardice of jihadi hate and racism. We learned that two American soldiers died along with the diplomat at the Lybia embassy and the rest of the soldiers persevered when reinforcements from allied Lybian forces arrived. (There is the interesting point that there were good Lybian soldiers and the issue is not about ethnicity but about removing hate and violence. There is the need to reprove hate and violence seen in jihadi terrorism.) The brave American soldiers were able to tell their story and speak truth. It is possible the diplomat and American soldiers were envied for being impressive and were negated requests despite their concerns being real. This describes how in the 2010s there was envy in various places describing that these times are not the best of times. Despite the times that we are living in, we can have gratitude and positivity knowing that there is justice and most of the envied American soldiers were able to survive.
