Before people freak out, Marines usually evacuate Americans stuck in warzones. Unfortunately the rebels in South Sudan saw fit to fire on American Marines flying out US citizens. Idiots.

[null and void]

I’m not freaked out, but I predict they will end up fighting on the side of the most radical muslim faction.

[dfwgator]

Yeah, and we just were sending advisors to South Vietnam.

[massgopguy]

Did somebody say “OIL”?!

[al baby]

You people drive me crazy we also sent in John Fing KERRY ol JFK !!!!!!

[Truth29]

Are the Christians fighting back against the Muslims?

[Howie66]

The Rules of Engagement as approved by The Stain say that our Marines can ONLY fire upon suspected members of the TEA Party. Everyone else is off limits.

[tet68]

Idiots.

Who, the rebels or the administration?

I will pray for our brave Marines.

[DakotaGator]

Hmmmm...we can send Marines into Sudan to protect and evacuate U.S. citizens but not Benghazi.

Oh. I see. Obama is in Hawaii and not interfering!

[dfwgator]

More “Global Force for Good” BS.

[Nachum]

Pity he won’t let them keep their retirement pay.

Maybe they should go ‘on strike’, before taking orders to ‘strike’

[immadashell]

Yeah, and we just were sending advisors to South Vietnam.

This is the RAT way to start a war that is guaranteed to fail. "I'm shocked that you're not awed."

[laweeks]

No until Valerie Jarrett says they can . . . and then they’ll probably be unarmed so they don’t hurt anyone.

[Buckeye McFrog]

so Obama is gonna get his own Helicopter Evacuation off the roof of the Embassy moment, eh?

[headstamp 2]

“Oh. I see. Obama is in Hawaii and not interfering! “

Don’t worry President Jarrett is on the job.

[BwanaNdege]

I predict they will end up fighting on the side of the most radical muslim faction.

The fighting is between Dinka & Nuer tribesmen, both of whom are usually either animistic or Christian. South Sudan broke away from the Muslim north specifically because of their opposition to Islam and also to the North's expropriation of oil revenues from oil fields in the South.

[LeoWindhorse]

Don’t put them under ANY ROE’s . If they get shot at ,allow them to utterly wipe out anyone attacking them . Have 2 AC-130’s available , one on orbit , at all times and a clear permission to fire at will if attacked . Get out people out of that rathole and then leave them to their own population control devices . The place is not worth one American life.

[444Flyer]

Praying for our Marines. They are serving under the worst CIC in US history.

[NormsRevenge]

Godspeed to our men and women around the globe this holiday and every day and blessings to their families.

Not everybody can spend Christmas&NewYears in Hawaii.
