Yes, I am quite aware of the fact USMC barracks sentries had useless weapons due to the ROE disallowing them to lock and load their magazines into their respective receivers, NOR did they have ANY anti-armor weapons like an AT-4 at the ready, therefore- they were unable to stop a bomb laden truck, (estimated weight of the explosives in the 2,000 lb. range) from racing into their building. The revetments or perimeter barriers were inadequate to stop a charging vehicle as well.

Seeing how I postulated that you might supplant Josh Earnest as a worthy replacement, I'll accept your retort that I am, as General or President George Washington referred to: (as) a blind dupe, although I doubt dupe was vernacular commonly used in the time period you reference, but I get the drift.

The 9 years, 11 months and 29 days, that I served in Uncle Sam's ragtime band, and more influentially- the 40 additional months I vacationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, wearing the private citizen hat of a US Army DOD contractor, has given me a few significant insights into the tactics of the Shiite AND Sunni murderers, and the ROE constraints put on our military serving downrange, which is gross negligence bordering on treason.

I was around 10 years old in 1967, so the USS Liberty bombing will require me to conduct a bit of research.

In closing, here's my take on Trump's rise.

Voters chose obama because of the color- black.

Voters are choosing Trump because of the colors- red, white and blue.

From another freeper- ))) Trump towers (((

Well, you would be utterly wrong and since you assume, rather than research as a matter of fact, that is all you have, assumptions, while I HAVE done the research and DO have the facts as they were authored... you are a “dupe” being used to usurp the constitution and the confidence of “we the people”.

If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yieldâ€¦

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican governmentâ€¦

Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interestsâ€¦

And while I appreciate your service in the military, that service does not negate ones oath they took upon entering that service, to protect us from ALL enemies, foreign & domestic. Therefore, if one is blinded to the domestic enemies, how can it be that they are not also blinded also by the political propaganda that purports to invent an enemy? In the eyes of George Washington, Ted Cruz would have been considered a domestic enemy because of Cruz’s intention in usurping the constitutional qualifications for president. And this is just the immediate usurpation, don’t get me started on his wanting to abolish the 100% constitutional IRS Congress has the authority to establish!

If you want to protect our nation from these enemies within, it should first begin by actually studying and knowing the laws that the Constitution supports and then applying those laws as they are written because even Obamacare, as it is written, is constitutional because it does NOT apply to every breathing US citizen, it ONLY applies to those who CHOOSE to subject themselves to it by certain financial decisions they make regarding employment, business transactions and financial investments. The language of the Obamacare bill, if one would take time to actually read it, especially the definitions within it, is NOT unconstitutional, but because of the ignorance of the tools and dupes like you, the confidence of the people has eroded so to voluntarily make themselves slaves to an excise tax they otherwise, would not be subject to.
