The truth about what? That there were no Marines in Libya? The Marine Corps may be part of the government but I will take their word for that.

State Dept. Rules of Engagement Kept Marines out of Tripoli, Benghazi in Libya

The Marine Corps has issued a statement regarding its involvement in the recent actions in Egypt and Libya. ..

In Libya, the Corps says that no Marines are stationed at the Embassy in Tripoli or the Consulate in Benghazi. Security in Libya, such as it existed, apparently was provided by contractors. The Rules of Engagement under which they operated are unclear.

Decisions regarding whether to have Marines at particular U.S. embassies and consulates fall to the State Department, according to the Marine Corps statement. In the case of Tripoli, the Corps says there were discussions with the State Department about establishing a detachment at the embasssy in Tripoli, a new embassy, some time in the next five years. That may seem like a long time, but for bureaucrats it is often considered ASAP.

I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong, and I sure don't expect an apology from a horse's butt like you for insulting me, but I do wish you would go bother someone else with your infantile responses and your complete inability to back up your statements.

I’ve read that too. You started with the insults and continue with the insults. I find you completely ignorant and refuse to discuss this any further. Find out like everyone else. Stop with the insults. It makes you look bad.
