Dunno, but the word from Pentagon reporters is that the CENTCOM brass is mighty pissed off about it.
“Who gave the order to disarm our Marines?”
SOS kerry would be the irresponsible party.
I work with a retired USMC Lt. Col. He said that this type of action is at the command of either the state department or the ambassador. He related that he knew of a US Ambassador who demanded the Marine Guard not carry any weapons or have any at the Embassy. The Commandant of the Corps pulled out the entire Marine guard force for that embassy and told the ambassador that his marines don’t guard without weapons.
Chalk this one up to 0bh wanting to give up the 3rd US embassy to the enemies of this country.
Probably planned by the military-micromanager Susan Rice...
