No one needs to say anything to establish the fact that the Marines are a kind of sacred institution.
People who care about the country can’t help but feel it in their bones.
The president left Marines to die doing their duty in Benghazi, fighting desperately to save the Ambassador. From him or by his neglect a stand down order was sent twice.
Maybe this Marine with the umbrella was thinking the whole time about the Marines left to die fighting at the Embassy.
Obama uses Marines as a shoe shine boy and as a Hollywood party prop for his wife (remember that?).
It doesn’t take any dignity from the Marines, just from him.
Two former SEALs and two diplomats were killed at the Consulate in Benghazi. The Embassy is located in Tripoli. No Marines were killed in Libya.
