What kind of pure insanity is this? Why aren’t Generals speaking out, or do they live in fear of being removed?
The regimes State Dept more or less had US Marines violate their oath and their very duty by disarming (as the US embassy in Yemen was evacuated) to respect the customs of a country who has no respect for the US.
Under obama’s failed foreign policy the US is being chased out of countries Iran has influence in. The perception this gives to middle easterners is weakness on Americas part that they will capitalize off of. The entire middle east is becoming completely destabilized ever since obama came to power. He has diminished the US’s power and influence making the world a much more dangerous place. It would be different if there were other nations in play to lead but there are no other superpowers in place anymore. If America is gone who will step up Russia, China?!
This is what fundamental transformation looks like…
Update:
FYI “crew served weapons” are heavy, large caliber weapons, light to heavy machine guns, mortars, automatic grenade launchers etc that require more than one individual to operate. As for the “personal weapons” this is in reference to sidearms (M9 Beretta) and primary individual weapon (M16A4 aka M4). “Rendered inoperable” could mean a number of things done to these weapons making them incapable of operating/ firing which still equates to the fact US Marines were disarmed as earlier reported. CENTCOM better go find their balls and tell the State Dept to stick it! This is how you get people killed…
