Well the airline couldn't let those Marines on board with weapons, for heaven's sake! They might take over the plane!

Maybe not......Yet by running away they did give them Yemen. So what is the count now? Iraq, Syria and Yemen? Fortunately Egypt had the balls to fight back.

Umm, I’ll wait for the pictures. With this government, you can never be sure. Regardless, why did this happen anyway? I have heard it was because they were taking civilian transport. Was that true? Has this disarmed evacuation happened before?

Just a guess, but who in the State Dept. gave the order for Marines to be disarmed?

This stinks.

I looked up the DoD and USMC contact info today to call and give a bit of my nail-spitting anger to someone.

Then, I calmed down and prayed that a 4-star would make a nail-spitting memo more tolerable, after a few drafts of the PR spoxbot.

The weapons bodies, minus the bolts, were then separately smashed with sledgehammers. All of these destroyed components were left at the airport --

Ha...high tensile IED's coming to a neighborhood near you.

Make no mistake, this all about Imam Obama trying to make a nuclear deal with Iran.

Iran tells Obama, 'Hands Off' or no deal.

Obama shuts down our Yemen embassy and disarms our Marines and high-tails it outta there.

Obama just handed Yemen over to Iran. What did we get? One less embassy in the Middle East.

One U.S. official said a contingent of around 100 Marines was helping protect the U.S. embassy in Yemen. Another official said a Navy amphibious assault ship, the USS Iwo Jima, was in the Red Sea off Yemen’s coast and would be available to help with the evacuation of embassy staff, if requested by the State Department.

Why were the Marines not on a military flight with F-18s overhead?

A commercial flight?

Why not a charter at least?

Chesty Puller is restless right now.
