I’m usually the last one to “defend” the Obama administration in any way, but let’s be brutally honest here . . . how is this incident any different than the U.S. military campaign in Lebanon in 1983?

It's not except that was twenty six years ago and our military learns from its mistakes. They just aren't allowed to apply those lessons since zero is in charge. Just like with the "Blackhawk Down" mess under Clinton.

Do you mean the truck bomb that blew up the Marine barracks? if so that is a reflection of the garrison security not a lack of air and artillery support.

That was 26 years ago and we didn’t have hardly a clue of what we were in for with the terrorists.
Fool me once, times a hundred times, means we should know what we doing now. Some generals should be quiting in protest, that is if they don’t think it would be worse for the troops without them.
