Dishonored and Disrespected: Obama Disarmed US Marines at Inaugural Parade
Gateway ^ | February 10, 2013 | Jim Hoft

A new administration policy?

Barack Obama disarmed the US Marines at the Inaugural parade this year.

Dishonored and disarmed: Bolts are clearly missing from these Marine rifles during President Obama’s inauguration parade. This is an unmistakable insult to the honor of the Marine Corps

...

It’s not the first time the Obama Administration disarmed US Marines at an event.

In March 2012, US Marines were told to leave their weapons outside the tent during Leon Panetta’s speech in Afghanistan.

It sounds as though hussein is afraid of how own troops. I hope that he has a reason.

They refused to follow the Undocumented Tyrant’s
demand that they first micturate on the US Constitution
and then pledge allegiance to the Moslem Brotherhood.

This is not a new policy. When the University of Delaware ROTC drill team marched in an inaugural parade in the 1960’s, the bolts had to be removed from their ‘03 Springfields.

Probably not a bad idea since, like me and thousands of others, they are sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic and have been trained to kill Communists and radical Islamists.....

That oath to “...support and defend the Consitution against all enemies foreign and domestic...” taken by the Marines seems to be a bit of a problem for Double-O bama

The Marines pledge to protect from enemies foreign and domestic so 0bama probably had good cause to disarm the guys right here in America.

Very poor reporting, if you can call it that. The key question is this: Who gave the order to remove the rifle bolts? That shouldn't be too hard to find out.

Obama might have given the order. Or he might have simply approved of the order. Or he might have been completely unaware that the order was even given.

He’s afraid of looking like Anwar Sadat (?) after a military parade.

Leftists of all stripes fear the military. It is a natural political law. When in power they work hard to neutralize the military, emasculate it, until they feel they have staffed it with 100% "reliable" officers and have the units infected with political officers who do not answer to the formal command structure whose job it is to stab erring officers in the back and eliminate unreliable toops. Even then leftists do not trust the military and the leaders always have another quasi military built up to do the real tasks of the leftist rulers. The Soviets had the MVD and the KGB. Hitler had his SS. Achmedinejad has his QUDS. The military is kept at arms length even while maintained in existence as the force that must be called on to actually deal with other countries' militaries.

O'Lenin does not trust the military and has emasculated it with his admittance of open homosexuals and weakened it by placing women in combat. He is purging the officer corps just as Clinton, another Leftist, did and as Carter did. He fears the military will intervene against him. That fear is surely misplaced but he is a Leftist and cannot shake it.

Yes, considering the Marines' oath it's not at all surprising that Zero felt they needed to be disarmed!

In 1981, wheen George Bush came to the Philippines, we were ot allowed to carry any weapons

This article is an over-reaction it sounds like

However, I wonder if they have pictures of years before

One of obozo’s handlers must have pointed out that when culling the military to only include soldiers who would fire on American citizens that includes naturalized citizens!
