This past week, a podcast decided to go after the men who took part in "13 Hours" that survived the Benghazi attacks of 2012. They claim that members of Delta Force have a different story to tell, and that the accounts of Tanto, Boon, Oz, and Tig, along with Sarah Adams are fictional. On this episode our host Kris "Tanto" Paronto responds to these malicious claims.
