The commandant of the Marine Corps told lawmakers that Marines who disarmed before departing Sanaa, Yemen during an embassy evacuation last month did so on the orders of U.S. Central Command and State Department officials.
Gen. Joseph Dunford fielded hard-edged questions on the mission Tuesday morning from Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., during a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee. Kline, a retired Marine officer, is the author of a letter to the State and Defense departments demanding detailed answers about a controversial order to Marines to destroy their weapons and depart the country unarmed.
It is readily apparent that the order for American marines to violate their training and natural survival instincts and put their very lives in danger came from the president himself.
The time to mince words is over. The president of the United States is opposed to the military in general and it’s presence outside the US specifically. He not only is removing them but he is endangering and frankly humiliating them.
And we allow it to continue without protest.
