Richard
and I have just spent several days up here in Michigan with
our grandson, Andrew, who has just gotten out of the
Marines. It was a wonderful visit…we had so much to catch up
on…and Andrew's time in the Marines was certainly part of
it. He told us a story that I think all Americans should
hear and I'm going to repeat it here for you. I'm not sure
it's really necessary, but I have removed his name just to be
on the safe side. He's no longer in the military so
probably it wouldn't matter. I did ask him if he'd get in
trouble if I told the story and he said no. Send it to as
many as you want. Here is Andrew's story.
He
was deployed to Afghanistan for about 8 months, but the
story I'm about to tell you is when he was stationed on a
carrier off the coast of Libya . During the Benghazi
fiasco A's ship was in Libyan waters just off the coast.
(I'm not good at military terminology so forgive me if I get
this part wrong). A's "squad" was about 128 men, divided
into "platoons" of about a dozen men each, A was in charge of
his platoon. When it was known that the consulate was under
siege, the entire squad was given combat ready orders. They
were stationed, guns in hand, (his words) and sleeping at the
foot of helicopters whose engines were running slowly (they do this so
that the copter can move out more quickly) waiting to be
deployed. If word had been given, they could have been in
Benghazi in under 20 minutes….10 to board the helicopter, 10 to
fly in! They could see Tripoli from the ship! Their
mission: to secure the consulate…which means go in and remove
all foreigners! He said there was no question that 128 Marines
could have saved the lives of those 4 Americans, including an
ambassador.
THEY WERE NEVER DEPLOYED!
I tell you this because now, when you hear your government tell you that no one could have been there in time to have saved those American lives you have heard a first-hand experience to the contrary.
Now you KNOW you have been lied to - AGAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN!
