Mark “oz” Geist he was a CIA officer he was part of GRS (global response staff) his job was to provide protection for case officer in high value situations he went to Benghazi. So ambassador Chris Stevens came into Benghazi because there was a pilot got lost and he got saved by a villager so ambassador Chris Stevens wanted to honor him for saving the lost pilot. Consulate had its own security team that 

Was not good it wasn’t us military. The consulate was around 8 acres and they had 5 diplomatic security officers on 8 acres to protect the ambassador it’s way inadequate because 5 guys who have a some weapons can’t protect the ambassador. About a mile away from the consulate was the annex that’s where the CIA facility was. The annex was about a football field long. There were 6 security guards and 20-ish people that they were protecting like case officer, cooks, maintenance guys. “Oz” went with a female case officer for a so call dinner date around 5:30 with a local Libyan couple at 9:30 “Oz” got a phone call from Tyrone woods he was team leader a said to OZ you need to get to the annex and stay away from the consulate. Someone from the consulate got on the radio and says “ if you don’t get here now we are all going to die. “The chief” heard the call and Tyrone told the chief it was a rescue mission to suicide mission and the chief said stand down so the team made a Executive decision to go to the consulate. After the consulate got overrun by 40 Insurgents so the team to had to fall back to the annex 

Because they had to protect 20 other people so they set up a ambush so the team can get a good attack on the Enemy. The fight lasted for 13 hours and aftermath two GRS officers KIA and ambassador Chris Stevens also KIA and USAF officer KIA. 

ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 2

People think if we don’t honor themselves life would be difficult to them. They think hope is gone, but hope is never gone you have to trust yourself. You have to be your own hero nobody would care about you. You have to embrace your fear of rejection to life, fear will destroy you if you don’t face your fear.

Let me walk you though the pedestrian

The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Mr Leonard Mead experiencing how the authority is so used to people sitting watching TV in their homes at night. He is also feeling the effects of technology its making everyone and their homes at the darkest night look like a cemetery with grey phantoms floating about and flickers of lights flashing on curtain windows.  The main and only characters tone is sad and very lonely with a dark dimly lit setting. The tone is very lonely because the character Leonard Mead is the only real character introduced in this story. With only the police car to be only thing that confronts him. Also while he is walking on his regular night walk he has stated in his story that he has never came across another person on his walks in 8 years. The tone is also quite sad because he has no one to talk to and when the police car asks him if he has a wife he replied "Nobody wants me". Now there you can see that it hurts Mr Mead to even say that, but he does anyways and the police car says nothing.

     Mr Leonard Mead is the main character in this short story and only has one interaction and thats with the police car that stops him while he is on his night walk. He is also the only character that is introduced as an actual person. Mr Mead is impacted by how the authorities treat him and how the technology has had a huge impact on them. He feels like nobody even realizes how technology has made everyone be dumb in a sense where they don't want to be around people and interact with them.

So this guy goes for a walk

The tone of the story is that he gets stop by the police and they are questioning him for walking out late. The character is going for a walk and he doesn’t have a tv so he goes on a walk to see stuff
The plot of the story is that a guy is walking and gets stop by the police and they start asking him questions trying to get him in trouble
