Trump’s SecDef pick is coming under fire.

Jason Amerine says that when a team of Special Forces was hit by friendly fire in Afghanistan in December 2001, Mattis, who was in charge of a nearby group of Marines, hesitated to approve a rescue operation.

“Every element in Afghanistan tried to help us except the closest friendly unit, commanded by Mattis. Men were ready to drive to get us or send horses from the other side of the country if that was what it took,” Amerine wrote in a Facebook post.Sources involved in the operation told NBC News that Mattis, who was a brigadier general at the time, turned down repeated requests for assistance even though helicopters under his command were reportedly just 45 minutes away.

      Yes but… “10:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET): A six-member CIA team arrives from the annex with 40 to 60 members of 17th of February Brigade.” Saving 30+.

      From the first call for help U.S. forces on the ground in Benghazi moved out within 20 minutes, retaking the consulate within 1 hour and 14 minutes, saving 30+ lives. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/benghazi-timeline-how-the-attack-unfolded/
