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.
I always forget that the Marines are answerable to the State Dept. [/s]
I seriously doubt that the Marines were told to “remove clips”.
Just repeating what was reported.
They were told to remove clips and turn over their weapons to the enemy.
Susan Rice or Jon Cary probably behind this.
Clips?
Are they using WWII M1 Garands?
The Yellow Hanoi Boi just Swift Boated the U.S. Marines. FUBO!!! FUJK!
small weapons given to yemenis per yahoo

If true, then remember: The State Department is headed up by John (He was in VietNam, you know)Kerry, whose command of ordnance nomenclature is probably on a par with Brian (Looking down the tube of an RPG) Williams.
The Secretary of State is lucky if he knows which end of the rifle the bullets come out of.
This is unbelievable and infuriating on many levels.

If there was ever a time to refuse an order......
The ultimate gun running operation. Surrender. How to trump fast and furious.
Ummm....the Drill Instructor would kick you in the behind for using the word “clips”. It’s a military experience thing.
I just watched her say this; I could just cry for our Marines, for America. My son is a Marine who fought in Iraqi Freedom. This is shameful and it’s humiliating. Our President, State Dept ordered our brave and courageous to give up their guns, something they have been taught never to do. Iran backed Rebels forced the evacuation. Iran eh? Iran is sticking their fingers in our eyes in so many ways and our President is doing this as well.
I would have disobeyed orders and risked a court martial.
This is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.
Hmmm...did our President just meet with the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen? What timing of the fall of our Embassy.
I heard on the news Yemen Rebels now have our vehicles.
I didn’t use the word, it was used in the segment of the Kelly File.
