That is their job.

I was there in June. I would highly doubt the Marines surrendered Any of their equipment. I don't want to give out too much information but in transit, and at the airport, we had plenty of security that wouldn't have allowed the Houthis access to us or our equipment.
As for the vehicles, they are all the State Depts and I figured that they did just drive them to the airport and abandon them since there's no where left to keep them. I was kinda hoping all the cool local embassy guards would have been able to keep them.

I'd like to believe that the only way they'd surrender their weapons to a bunch of chaw chewing jackasses would be if they'd been ordered to. And I can't believe any Marine NCO or Officer would give that order unless under pressure by DoS.

Seriously, would you give it up to a bunch of assclowns in a Toyota?

I'm going to follow this one for a while and see what really happened. I still remember the day in boot camp I gave my weapon do a D.I. from another platoon because he asked for it (demanded it). Jesus did I pay for that.

Shows you just how far gun control has gone.

I'm sure it's not the first time, and sadly won't be the last.

This makes me sad tonight.

Semper Fi boys, Semper Fi.

 

[AKkeith]

I'm so sick of media outlets posting new headlines with false information and without the complete story just so they can post it "first".

With all the months we had prior to this, when everyone in the world KNEW that the evac was going to happen, the absolute BEST plan we could come up with was "Argg! Destroy all the things!!" and fly out COMAIR? wtf

A slightly better plan than Benghazi... Slightly.

According to Jen Psaki, she expects the Houthis to take care of our embassy while we are away.































Who in the fuck gave birth to these people??????????

I'll bet Mrs. Psaki seriously regrets passing up the sale at the abortion clinic every time Jen runs her ball washer on national TV.

A Marine official not authorized to discuss the situation says that no operational weapons were left behind: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/sto...apons-left-yemen-embassy-evacuation/23250263/

I still don't see why they didn't send the weapons home. They don't have a better contingency plan than destroying them?

From talking to my buds who did Embassy duty, the DOS is generally pretty much soup sandwich and the Marine contingent is on the bottom of the shit hill.

They are not very surprised by these events. Marines getting shafted, again.

I'm sure there was enough of them to fill the plane, they should have taken the weapons with them and told anyone that argued; "WTF are you going to do? We are the Fuckin MARINES! -drop mic- ".
