Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) by Late R — 13 Aug 2017

Deja vu of Black Hawk Down of another disposal of a tyrant but failed installation of American democracy in a country that doesn't understand nor appreciate western political system. Consequently, a vacuum created only to be filled by ISIS that will flourish to exact more violence and bloodshed locally and also in the western world for years to come.

Greater evil replacing evil. Excruciatingly painful film to watch but I still did to satisfy my curiosity over this dirty political word "Benghazi" since 2012.The great cover up of this ´Benghazi fiasco´ by the deceitful Hilary Clinton and her boss Barak Obama had avoided a defeat by president hopeful Mitt Romney also my hero in 2012.

Michael Bay did an excellent job creating recreating the mayhem of fire fight, explosions and gory mangling of the American mercenaries. Sure there were casualties on the rebel side too but it was hard to sympathise with these murderous ungrateful bastards biting the heroes that emancipated Libya from the evil dictator Gaddafi.

Great sensesurround of bullets wheezing by and explosions galore because I have a 11-speaker home theatre system. Dont think my neighbors were happy with 2.5 hours cacophany. Yes it was a long long film on American mercenaries left stranded far far from home and massacred.

Yet it was egregious for Bay to avoid a segment on ´what the hack were Hilary and Barack doing or not doing back in capitol hill´. A surviving mercenary at the end of the film summed up beautifully the futility and stupidity of fighting foreign wars in unappreciative countries, more so in muslim countries because USA will always be the big Satan in the eyes of muslim countries.

He couldn't be more thankful that he did not die leaving a widow and three fatherless children because he fought in a war he didn't understand and in a country he didn't care. Not for all the mercenary money in the world is worth the stupidity and sorrow.
