Letter Enough protection wasn’t provided

The Columbian
Published: November 6, 2012, 4:00pm

As a veteran and citizen I must protest our government’s treatment of the people “left behind” in Benghazi. With surveillance drones flying above the battle and several messages from the combatants, our present administration did not do enough to provide the necessary assistance to rescue our U.S. ambassador and those protecting him. Moreover, several others outside of the fight tried their best to provide support and get needed assistance and they too died.

Shame on those involved in this government for not coming to their aid. And more shame on any media that have not made this story public.
