seriously!

:facepalm:

This is reference to the Benghazi Consulate attack. Their requests for assistance were denied.

If I was a diplomat or a SEAL or an American I think I might be offended by that.

being in the military, i'm offended that these americans were not given the requested support. there was a uas circling overhead providing ongoing coverage of the battle to the situation room. hell, they even had a seal on the roof lasing targets and requesting spectre gunship support. denied. they were left to die

Freedom from numbers! Woo!

That Marines picture would have a lot more teeth if they weren't dressed up in their pretty parade costumes. Find a picture of Marines today in battle, fighting with bayonets, and you would have an argument.

A Marine in war looks like this:

But you already knew that.

Wasn't there a battle in Afghanistan where the soldiers went hand to hand with bayonets? In the Tora Bora mountains, iirc.

Yeah, Marines look more than awesome in their dress blues (swoon-worthy even) but as a person with many many Marines in my life I'd say that harping on the bayonet remark as if it were an affront to our military is rather ridiculous.

Rihanne is right: it's offensive.

Oh, I agree. There are way more offensive things I'd have thought. Like the poor healthcare for returned veterans and lack of support for mental health problems.

Not to mention, sending them to war on a lie. I'd find that really insulting if I was family to a soldier.

Sarge, you need to place blame where it belongs:
