It does in the military. Maybe I'm being too hard because of my training and experience in that area. But I see no reason why we can't have the same level of accountability in State Department.

At some point there are too many wheels in motion and variables. I understand if you can file it under criminal negligence, but it doesn’t seem too far fetched that the Benghazi happened because it basically fell through the cracks and no one thought they were the final group who could make decisions.

And that situation cannot be tolerated.

But this goes beyond some lackey in State Department. There were no--zero, zip, nada--military units close enough to render any meaningful response. That had to be a screw up on multiple levels.
