Oh, I’m sorry . . . were those 220 U.S. Marines killed in a training exercise?

Joking about dead Marines?

It is clear that you do not know why they were there. It had nothing to do with, as you defined it, "a military campaign". But don't let being wrong ruin the opportunity for sarcasm about US troops.

You really think that a truck bomb attack on a base is the same thing as ROE that don’t allow our troops to come to the aid of the buddies that are in the middle of a firefight?

Now there are lots of things wrong with what went on in Lebanon. But I think you are comparing apples and oranges.
The ROE had nothing to do with Lebanon and everything to do with the ambush.
