CLARITY ON MARINE SECURITY FORCE DEPARTURE FROM YEMEN

February / 11 / 2015

HEADQUARTERS MARINE CORPS, WASHINGTON — The Marine Security Force left the American embassy in Yemen for the movement to the airfield as part of the "ordered departure" with only personal weapons. All crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy prior to movement. None of them were 'handed over' in any way to anyone. The destruction of weapons at the embassy and the airport was carried out in accordance with an approved destruction plan.

Upon arrival at the airfield, all personal weapons were rendered inoperable in accordance with advance planning. Specifically, each bolt was removed from its weapons body and rendered inoperable by smashing with sledgehammers. The weapons bodies, minus the bolts, were then separately smashed with sledgehammers. All of these destroyed components were left at the airport -- and components were scattered; no usable weapon was taken from any Marine at Sana'a airport.

To be clear: No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him.

Then the reporting on the Kelly File along with General Jack Keene, is maybe the most inaccurate we have ever heard OR someone is lying.

Thank you for the details on the evacuation and destruction of their weapons.

Interestingly, it was this week in 1984 that Reagan evacuated our Marines from Lebanon after that country's change in power. The previous October is when the Marine barracks had been attacked and so many marines died.

We increased the use of sea and air power afterwards.

While there are plenty of examples of obama giving into or even aiding muslim extremists, I'm not so sure getting marines out of some sorry excuse of a crap hole is the best example to be using.

The bottom line is that the US Marines were disarmed and left at the pleasure of the muslim rabble.

Interesting.
I wonder if the Washington Marine headquarters were ordered (by you know who) to put out this story after the first story came out.

With this administration, I wouldn’t be surprised.
