Marines with no ammunition?
This is just setting them up.
Who did this? It is beyond belief.
Oh, how times have changed. When I was a Marine Security Gaurd in Jordan and Austria, I had a 9MM as my side arm. At the ready was an 870P Riot Shotgun, Mini 14, Uzi, several different caliber pistols all within arms reach for any given moment with enough Ammo to take care of business on multiple fronts. And that was just inside the secure booth within the embassy doors. My fellow Marines always at the ready with as much at their disposal.
Someone better Court Martial me if I am told to stand down under the threat of violance or incursion.
