One of my biggest unresolved questions about this whole thing is this...
Where and what were the five DSS agents doing when the attack on the mission and the ambassador was going down?
These guys are very much (wannabe) like us...they are heavily armed with M4s, 249 SAW, pistols and other special weapons as needed. I would think everything they had access to was needed!
Having performed protective detail missions in my past, they should have been stacking bad guys like cordwood at the gate and around the grounds, never given them access to the building where the ambassador and Mr. Smith sought refuge, killed everyone with an RPG or five gallon can of fuel and/or all died in the process of doing exactly that.
It appears all of them got rescued an hour later by the CIA and they didn't even know where the ambassador was...
Something doesn't add up for me!
Did they all hide under the bed?
