Not assuming anything. It may be the mortar story is wrong. But likewise, the story you posted could be wrong. This whole Benghazi thing is so covered in misinformation, who knows what to trust.
However the mortar story was widely reported in the press at the time and for quite a while afterward, including pretty detailed accounts of both the attack on the embassy and the later attack on the annex. And I don't know anything about the credentials of the guy writing the story you posted.
Do I know which is true? Nope. Do you?
One thing that is clear in both accounts is that the two former Seals were heroes who went to the aid of the embassy and helped save a number of people. And that they were sacrificed by the President, the Defense and State Secretaries and the top commanders in the military. You should read Bing West's articles on this.
In the end, no matter what these former Seals were heroes worthy of the highest praise!

Re: The 2 SEALs in Benghazi killed 60 jihadis
Inspiring if true. But according to multiple reports at the time, the two former Seals were killed by a mortar round at that annex. They weren't killed by being overwhelmed by the attacking forces. I am not saying this is false but it is not consistent with reports at the time. I hope at least the part about them killing large numbers of the attackers is true.
