Fair comparison? To draw an equivalency between the attacks at the US Embassy in Baghdad to the attacks on the Consulate in Benghazi in 2012?

Well presumably (hopefully) some of the lessons learned in Benghazi informed and improved how we responded to this situation.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - Agree to disagree. You'd think lessons that keep our ships from crashing into other ships wouldn't need to be retaught over and over again, but here we are.

Hardly the same thing to compare. Usually when someone in the military fails to ensure the safety and security of their people, when they have the right lessons learned at their disposal, they're fired.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - Not always and it still doesn't mean the lesson doesn't need to keep getting learned. After Vietnam we knew the problems with long protracted wars with no exit strategy. In the first Gulf War we patted ourselves on the back with the Powell doctrine. We sure learned our lesson.
Then a little more than a decade later we got ourselves in a new Vietnam that wasn't stopped by not one, not two but three consecutive administrations and the military leadership that was willing to keep it on the QT.
