Meghan Kelly just reported that Marines were ordered by the state department to remove clips and surrender weapons before leaving the Yemen Embassy. She reports that it is unprecedented, backed up by Jack Keene. Marines under that order are furious.
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.
No kidding. It gets old. 99% of America thinks the thing in a gun that holds bullets is called a clip and a magazine is something you read. They'd get confused if newsreaders used the proper terminology. And, yes, I'm sure someone will be butthurt because I said "bullets" instead of cartridges.
I don’t know what to tell you - this is straight from the CMC.
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.
No, it's not.
There have been 6 threads posted since 8AM this morning by 5 posters. One was a dupe by the same poster and was pulled. Two were by different posters to the same source and the mods let both stand. 4 of the 6 threads were from unique sources and as such did not violate posting guidelines.
The bottom line is that the US Marines were disarmed and left at the pleasure of the muslim rabble.
I don’t disagree with you. I just don’t like misinformation being spread around.
It was 11/4/79. I worked at the Tehran Embassy in 1975. I worked the evacuation of the Tehran dependents from the Rome Embassy and the Naval Airport at Naples. Hairy times
Second.
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.
State department chickensh*t.
Yup, it’s not as bad as the initial reports had it, but it’s bad enough.
The Rifleman’s Creed, indeed. If somebody up the food chain had a clue about Marine Corps culture, they’d have found a way to get the Marines with weapons intact out of there on a military or chartered flight.
It might make all kinds of sense from a bureaucratic point of view but it’s un-Marine.
It’s just the latest example that those in charge have no clue, and no concern, about military culture and traditions.
Hell, those Marines won’t need weapons when they get back home, they’ll have their hands full holding umbrellas over TOTUS while he talks about how good they make him look.
I’ll take the 80 year old retired Marine over a hundred of the intel geniuses in the current administration any day.
Still, the entire debacle is just kabuki theatre.
Does anyone think muslims cant make a firing pin on a lathe or make a dang magazine?
Order said supplies on the internet for a few bucks?
Foolishness abounds in our Gov and in our news.
Kind of odd to sign up, then basically support Obama in first two of two posts.
He happens to be telling the truth.
