Megan Kelly just updated that the weapons weren’t surrendered, but we’re rendered inoperable and destroyed at the airport before the marines were evacuated by commercial airline. Question is why by commercial air rather than military. I would submit that the weapons were, in fact, surrendered, by the state department’s order to rend them inoperable. Sickening to do this to our Marines or any branch of our military.

1. Leaving equipment behind, even “destroyed”, is intolerable save for intensely urgent conditions requiring immediate evacuation in the face of overwhelming assault. Much can be recovered & gleaned from such abandonment. This smacks of “Fast & Furious II: Marine Delivery”.

2. I’m suspicious of this being “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

3. This emboldens enemies of our friends, wrecking friendships worldwide and condemning many to combat if not slaughter.

4. We are projecting weakness.

The military.com article states:

U.S. Embassy Marines in Yemen handed over their M-9 pistols and M-4 carbines before evacuating the chaotic country with diplomatic personnel, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

The Marines also left behind several vehicles at the airport in the capital city of Sanaa before departing on a civilian flight, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.

Military.com article said the weapons were handed over and vehicles were left behind. Sounds like they were surrendered.
