Embassy reinforcement training... Photo by Staff Sgt. Erik Cardenas



Ordinarily this would be a simple photo essay on the US Marine Corps' MEU doing standard training.

But with Amos in charge, it takes on a more political flavor.  He "established" MAGTF-CR as a cover for the Obama Administration's awful handling of the tragedy in Benghazi.  Ok, you ask, but this is almost a year later.  What does this have to do with the training?  Everything.  60 Minutes did an expose---a great news report on how fucked Obama, Hillary and company did on that fateful night and what do we see a couple of days later?  Yeah.  Marines doing the Embassy Reinforcement mission.  I have no doubt that CBS gave the admin a heads up that the report was coming out so this is more than a little suspicious in my mind.

No trust remains.  No slack can be given.

Nothing can come out of HQMC that I don't wonder about political angle.  The damage that Amos has done to the Marine Corps is almost complete.  He has hurt the Marines more than any outside force ever has.  I completely and totally hate the motherfucker.
