Well, the gov't did refuse the immediate Israeli offer of field hospitals. Their quality is well-respected and I believe they could have had them set up in the US in something like 24 hours.

The U.S. Government refused Israel's offer to treat American Marines injured in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing which killed 241 men. They were instead flown to Germany, leading to at least 7 additional Marine fatalities--all to keep from "offending" our so-called Arab "allies". Whoever in the Reagan Administration who ordered that diversion of wounded Marines, should have been fired, prosecuted and sent to prison. Instead, most Americans have no idea it ever happened. I wonder if the families of those Marines who died for Dhimmitude even know it. We have learned NOTHING.

I didn't know that, but sadly I have no trouble at all believing it. I would like to think that Reagan was not personally aware of it but wouldn't be all that shocked to learn otherwise. Politicians are capable of anything.

I also think the west has learned nothing, and have posted many times that they probably won't until 100,000s it not 1,000,000s die in a terror attack. It's going to take that for a wakeup call on the War on Islamofascists.
