Dempsey and McCain Spar Over Benghazi

They could have scrambled everything in that hemisphere and still not have been able to respond.

That’s what never made sense about the “They called for help and none was sent” bit, that there were no troops sitting on alert, waiting for the call to come in to scramble to Benghazi. It takes time to get them all together, get their gear, get on the aircraft, and even begin the journey. Short of developing transporters in the near future, our response time to most such disasters is measured in hours or days, not minutes.
