Did someone in the government leave the victims in Beirut hanging on for nine hours without sending nearby troops to help like was done in the case of Benghazi?

Did anyone die waiting in Benghazi? The survivors were relieved by Americans arriving by ground transport from Tripoli. I can only assume you're trying to say that relief should have been brought in by air and that that would have saved someone's life. I'm pretty sure they showed over and over again that are relief would not have gotten their significantly sooner that no one died in the time frame between the two. If a mistake was made, it was made days and weeks before the attack,  not having sources of relief close enough. Also it seems the state department and CIA didn't know how many armed hostile people there were in the area. The investigations were not able to show that mistakes were made the night of the attack.
