Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I remember passing by the Marine position during one of my trips to Beirut on the way into town from the airport. Big American flag flying. Sad day when the truck bomb exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Friends of mine, were newly weds, living there when it happened, not far from the scene. May still tears up, if it is mentioned. It was one of the main events that led them to realize they would be better off immigrating and they came here, to Canada.

RIP Brothers First off, I was greatly disappointed that Reagan didn't level Beirut. He allowed US Marines to be killed with no repercussions. Second, these kinds of ROE get people killed. If you're in a combat zone, you ALWAYS have a round in the chamber. Safety position depends on the circumstances. If you are fired upon, you eradicate the source.
