What's going on with the Marines at the Al-asad airbase, with ISiS so close?

Obama seems to want to punish America for so called “past sins”.
Could this be payback for the (first) Barbary Wars?

I have full faith in our marines. And I do not doubt a general officer would defy Obama and make sure they get the help they need. I do believe Obama would abandon them to the muzzles if he could get away with it. The MSM would do their best to silence the slaughter of abandoned marines. But he would not be able to silence the internet videos. I believe they will be fine despite Obama.

I'd be happier with SEVERAL.
With loads of video to be uploaded with commentary from our heroes on scene.

Last I heard the Iraqi’s were clearing out al-Baghdadi. Then radio silence on news. Social media’s been purged of al-Asad. There were thousands of posts and now nothing going back to when the story broke. I don’t know wtf is going on.

Yes, but the ISiS excrement is NOT armed with spears vs. British rifles. They have modern weaponry, and I heard that they are a bunch of former soldiers for various entities. I also heard that many ISiS members are common criminals and thugs as well.You forgot to mention they are meth crazed, heavy meth users.

Agree. There are other ways to ‘maintain presence’ in an area you don't want to fall into ISIS hands.
Frankly, a Khe Sanh type posture isn't necessary.
Technology and airpower are to the point now where a “if it moves, bomb it” campaign could attrite them very capably

Oh yes, ok silly me.
I thought you posted a link that went to information about al asad and our Marines, never mind.

Surrender is not a default option.I think there are plenty of examples of those who have surrendered meeting horrid deaths. To the last man, surrender is not an option. There are no Geneva Convention rules, no Guantanamo Bay.

should the ship hit the sand, I’m guessing there will be no rules of engagement for these Marines.
