When did this happen.
"When did this happen."
It happened in 1983 in Beruit, Lebanon. 200+ Marines dies by a suicide truck bomber that rammed into the barracks and detonated. I am wondering if Reagan did not respond, because of a weaker military from the Carter days. As someone else pointed out, we did bomb the crap out of Libya in 1987. By then we had really beefed up the military with the biggest spending surge in history.
