***Also, kudos to Bay for making it apolitical.***Why? Why are we pretending here? Was it about space aliens landing on White House lawn?
I can fully understand the soldiers not willing to get involved in the politics, but isn't that the movie director's job to tell us the bigger story?

...you mean the story 7 Congressional investigations have told?
Sometimes reality is all you get.
And it's just a movie.
Yes, kudos to Mr. Bay for taking on this imperative subject matter.
(4) Americans died in a tragic way under Obama's watch.
...more tragic than the thousands who died under the previous administration?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
but nothing seriously political outside of Benghazi itself. This is based on the stories the four survivors brought back and not the narrative of "what happened to Chris Stevens". For a Bey movie it was "tasteful".
I guess if he wanted to add another hour of exposition on the subject he could have. Had he made it political I think it would have detracted from the main story, the bravery of the men on the ground. The story was about them. Fairly well told, considering it was Bay telling it ;~)
Like I said, kudos to Bay for taking the path he took. I'm sure some documentary film maker will do a bang up job showing the utter incompetency of the chain of command in this tragedy.
