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.

When Obozo cuts 20,000 marines from the payroll, how do you think they will vote?

He must know how thoroughly despised he is. He deserves every second of fear he is experiencing. As arrogant as the O_b_tard is, he must understand that actions have consequences.

Soon, the only ones (legally) holding guns will be the Obamanoid “Hmeland Security” JBT’s.

He’s afraid of ending up like Anwar Sadat. Keep worrying, Obama.

You’re right. This policy goes way, way back.

I was always told that bolts were removed for ceremonies so they wouldn't catch on uniforms. Always sounded like a weak argument because if movements are done correctly according to the the manual of arms, the bolt wont ever be be a problem.

No. It's been around for many years and several administrations.

But we don't want facts to get in the way of a good conspiracy.

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

Afraid of ending up Anwar Sadat

Bolts were normally in place except in very rare cases. An inaugural parade was one of those very few.

Some rifle tosses couldn’t be performed because the missing bolt shifted the weight enough to make the toss dangerous. These were not part of the “normal” Manual of Arms. :=)

I feel that most of "his" troops would never back his war on Americans. That is why he is building his own army. This ass is a communists want to be dictator and millions of Americans just do not get it yet. Hopefully when they wake up it will be not too late to impeach him.

Early in the war in Iraq, my son was back filling for military police that had been deployed. W came to Montgomery and My son was one of the troops tasked with guarding AF 1 while it was on the ground. Most of the troops were not issued ammo. My boy and a few others had live ammo. I assume the most reliable troops had the ammo.

Obongo qualifies as an enemy of the Constitution on two counts: (1) Communist and (2) Muslim.

And there's going to be another 50 outraged replies to this thread that don't notice the several informed replies pointing out this was a long-standing policy.

There's a whole cottage industry blaming Obama for policies extending back through the GWB adminstration, Reagan, or even further back. This sort of nonsense destroys the credibility of legitimate criticism of Obama.

After Ft. Hood, perhaps they believe they’ve been infiltrated by muslims who would want to assassinate the POTUS or other high officials. It seems plausible to me.

You can bet your sweet bippy those Marines were not ASKED to be there but ORDERED to be there.

It has become quite obvious what Odumbo thinks of our military. Consequently, he is crapping in his drawers thinking one of them might just ‘off” him for what he has done to them. Shameful!

It’s fear of Romanian term limits.

He must remember Sadat's death, which goes to show that he knows something.

I think Hussein, knowing he is a fake Commander in Chief of our military, is afraid of the military having guns around him. His twisted mind thinks without a bolt on those guns, no military guy can hurt him.

dabbobean•5 hours ago− Pretty shameful but understandable......the Marines took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic....if you were an enemy of the constitution you would want the Marines disarmed as well. This commentator was spot on.
