“I hope they are preparing to get those folks out of dodge.”

This job will fall to the Marine Expeditionary Unit. It’s what they do.

Please, not another scene of heliocopters taking off from the roof of the US Embassey, not again.

IDF already evaced the Israeli embassy.

Surely USA/Canada will come along.

Probably should have already gotten the people out. The Marine guard there has got to be fit to be tied figuring out a plan.

If the MEU goes in it will be a major operation as far from the coast as Cairo is. A long trek into hostile territory. I think I saw that there are over 600 personnel and dependents affiliated with the embassy there. That is a lot of chopper flights or something.
