He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe poem was written by John Edwin Roberts, who identifies himself as a former Navy SEAL:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe&#8217;re the battling boys of Benghazi ,<\/p>\n<p>\tNo fame, no glory, no paparazzi.<\/p>\n<p>\tJust a fiery death in a blazing hell,<\/p>\n<p>\tDefending our country we loved so well.<\/p>\n<p>\tIt wasn&#8217;t our job, but we answered the call,<\/p>\n<p>\tfought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate<\/p>\n<p>\tLed them to safety and stood at the gate.<\/p>\n<p>\tJust the two of us and foes by the score,<\/p>\n<p>\tBut we stood fast to bar the door.<\/p>\n<p>\tThree calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,<\/p>\n<p>\tSo we fought and we fought and we fought<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8217;til we died.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe gave our all for our Uncle Sam,<\/p>\n<p>\tBut Barack and Hillary didn&#8217;t give a damn.<\/p>\n<p>\tJust two dead Seals who carried the load<\/p>\n<p>\tNo thanks to us&#8230;we were just<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;Bumps In The Road&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\tSo, will this reach every American with a computer?
