U.S. Embassy Marines in Yemen handed over their M-9 pistols and M-4 carbines before evacuating the chaotic country with diplomatic personnel, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
The Marines also left behind several vehicles at the airport in the capital city of Sanaa before departing on a civilian flight, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
Warren said the Marines destroyed their machine guns and other crew-served weapons before leaving the Embassy for the airport. He also said that it was unclear who now had custody of the weapons and vehicles that were surrendered.
A Marine spokesman could not immediately say whether the surrender of weapons by Embassy Marines in an evacuation was unprecedented.

I won’t post it again but that image had been posted many, many times on Free Republic (and not removed and still exists on several threads) so I had no idea that Feb 11th the image became unacceptable.
I won’t post any more images.
The rifles of Obama’s Marines were NOT destroyed. They just removed the firing pins, before meekly turning them over to the Islamic Conquerors of Yemen, and running off to their rescue flight. This was a total humiliation of the American military by Obama, far worse that Benghazi. Now, all Arabs see that ISIS and Al Quaeda ride the STRONG horses!
Homosexuals exhibiting their “lifestyle” are never acceptable on Free Republic.
We cannot see all of the violations, it’s up to posters to hit abuse on them when they appear.
Thanks for your help.
That is BULL CRAP. Anybody can take any weapons they want on a plane that THEY exclusively charter, or own.
“Why humiliate the marines”
You mean like having a US Marine hold an umbrella over Obama during a press conference?
This illustrates that US fighting me have been made to be pussy cats for other vermin of civilization.
“Islam” is the verb from the root “aslama” (a verb), meaning to: “surrender; submit; obey”.
Crazy! Aren’t there standard military protocols to prevent this from happening?
Unless there was an order from the White House to give the Muzzie Brothers whatever they demanded.
Cowardly and un-American!
Those two nitwit girls ahould be prosecuted for treason.
Thak you for your service, Sarge!
Don’t believe a word of it.
Same bs during LBJ’s rat admin plus the capture of the Pueblo and strafing of the Liberty were the final blows for me. I didn’t reup.
Can’t say I blame you. LBJ was a scumbag, just like Bill Clinton and Obama.
