#153 Kris Paronto - Inside the 13-Hour Benghazi Gunfight and the Hillary-Obama Cover-Up

We stop on a road called Gunfighter. It was called Gunfighter. It wasn't Moving Magic. That's what we called it. We had a gunfighter here. And Adidas was the other road on the other side. And there was locals there. They looked like they were shooting back. And it looks like in the movie, we get up and it's creeping up. They actually were already in a firefight.

They were already shooting back and forth. We didn't know who friend or foe was, but they weren't shooting at us. So we get out of the car. Boone and myself did tell Henry. We said, Henry, get this figured out. We had our TL with us in the car. So we said, you just stick with the TL. Tell us what the hell's going on. And then... Again, leaders took over. Leaders do what leaders do.

Rome parked, Jack parked, Tig parked, we parked behind him, and we started to move in position to engage. And you get close to that wall and you start hearing those cracks. Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, because, you know, the bullets were going by your head. You're breaking the sound barrier. You're hearing a shh every once in a while.

He cracked the breech, put that HEDP round and that high explosive dual purpose round. And he just started throwing rounds down range. Boone came up to me and said, as we're shooting, he goes, you know, we knew there was a building off in the distance that we thought we could get up there and put machine gun fire, sniper fire. And so he goes, Tano, let's get high, man. Let's get high.

I said, roger that. So he went and got his SR-25. I went and grabbed the 46. I had my 46 M4 covered. I was wearing shorts. Boy, that's โ€“ were you wearing shorts? Yeah, I was. Actually, they were just a grayer version of these. They were a tan version of these. They were shorts I'd made in Canada or from old TruSpec pants.

Probably the closest thing he could get was the panda shirt, but it was a Mickey Mouse shirt. But yeah, and we just started climbing walls, man. And it was hard. I wasn't ready. I wasn't no spring chicken anymore.
