The marine guards guarding the barracks in Beirut had the same order - the result - over 200 dead marines in an islamic suicide attack. Lesson Learned - when you deploy solders, either you trust them to be armed or don't deploy them...

Sounds like Gen. Mason needs to remove himself from the "ARMED" Forces. Because he obviously has forgotten a few things.

Sounds like Gen. Honore screaming at the National Guard arriving in NO that they should point their weapons downward or sling them over their shoulders to the rear.
That NO is not Baghdad.
What a pathetic bunch of leaders.

If a General can't trust his men, what good are they or he?
If a General won't trust his men, he makes them as bad as he.
A General must trust his men, and effect that trust, when it is lacking.

Wonder if the National Guardsmen whom this Democratic congressman used as personal escorts to his New Orleans house were allowed to carry fully-loaded weapons? They were probably disarmed. The congressman wouldn't have wanted to be surrounded by a bunch of armed men who were good and mad at him.

Reminds me of Kerry voting to use force in Iraq and later saying "I thought we were just going to threaten him." Don't draw a firearm unless you're prepared to use it.

Flew about two or three weeks after Sept 11, 2001.
National Guardsman in airports were carrying M16A2s, also sans magazine.
Made a great object lesson for my kids.

You are correct. The Marines in Lebanon were unarmed.
Didn't want to upset the natives, you know.
The officers on the bridge of the USS Cole had no ammunition in their weapons either.
Pathetic.
