CLARITY ON MARINE SECURITY FORCE DEPARTURE FROM YEMEN

February / 11 / 2015

HEADQUARTERS MARINE CORPS, WASHINGTON — The Marine Security Force left the American embassy in Yemen for the movement to the airfield as part of the "ordered departure" with only personal weapons. All crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy prior to movement. None of them were 'handed over' in any way to anyone. The destruction of weapons at the embassy and the airport was carried out in accordance with an approved destruction plan.

Upon arrival at the airfield, all personal weapons were rendered inoperable in accordance with advance planning. Specifically, each bolt was removed from its weapons body and rendered inoperable by smashing with sledgehammers. The weapons bodies, minus the bolts, were then separately smashed with sledgehammers. All of these destroyed components were left at the airport -- and components were scattered; no usable weapon was taken from any Marine at Sana'a airport.

To be clear: No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him.

Obama ordered our Marines to be disarmed!

No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him.

That's BS.

The previous paragraph details how Marine weapons were taken from them by someone and destroyed.

I want to know who gave that order and why. It was a chartered commercial flight. I can understand the destruction of the crew service weapons prior to departure but the M-4s and sidearms make no sense whatsoever.

This could have been a disaster much worse than Benghozi. What idiot his running this program? Damn it congress our Marines lives hang in the ballance, DO SOMETHING.
