“Didn't know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!”
The email linked to a YouTube video of the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade, embedded in this column, featuring Bravo Company Marines from the Marine Barracks Washington. Sure enough, the observation in the email is confirmed by watching the video, with screen shots provided in the photo and slide show accompanying this article.
The few, the proud, the ... untrusted?

A single other time in my life I’ve seen the same was Afghan National Army greeting their President Karzai. I thought A-stan is a real cesspool and Karzai must be a real POS with such a level of trust towards his troops.
Well, it is coming to a country near you.
Just another display of contempt for our Armed Forces by their Community Organizer-In-Chief.Well,contempt and distrust to be precise.
Somebody get that Jarhead’s name. He’s holding his rifle at a 20 degree angle so that the photographer can see that there is no bolt in his rifle. What a putz. s/
Sadat was worthy of least some respect.
Those guys had to be pissed off.
There is no profanity adequate to express what we think about this outrage.
were locked and loaded!
I believe Patty Hearst did something similar while she was a bank robbing captive...
I think the question is better asked..
What does the military know about the administration that we don’t know? Hmmmmm???
I got to clean the guns, LOL, they want me to feel useful.
When they went to assassinate Sadat, he stood up. I believe this was to prevent those around him from dying.
Were Bronco in that role what would he do?
It is more than just that little barry bastard boy loathes our military personnel; he knows he is the enemy domestic and they are sworn to defend against such enemies as he knows he IS.
I'm surprised they didn't put orange plugs in the barrels as well...............
It seems that our president is afraid that his tactics are so outside of proper that he feels anyone would take a shot at him. And the fact he has increased Secret Service for presidents for life seems to confirm his intentions are intended to rile the public. You know. Like what dictators do.
There is one glimmer to this scenario, however: if the sonofabitch keeps this up, this open disdain for our service personnel, perhaps when he tries to employ them to kill and disarm Americans, he will have no obedience to his unConstitutional orders.
The whole place was surrounded by snipers............it makes you wonder who obama trust and why.
I saw a video (no idea where it is now) where the hostess at a dinner encouraged the diners to hurry with their meal so that their knives and forks could be picked up (confiscated?) before obama arrived.
They could keep their spoons, if I remember correctly.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to get near enough to him to use any kind of tool on him.
If I saw him burst into flame, I wouldn’t p!ss on him to put it out.
No Bolts started with Billy “Put Some Ice On It” Clinton.
I’ve never served in the military. I regret that. I understand that when Marines are issued their rifles they swear an oath that in part say’s “This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless’’. When you give Marines a rifle that doesn’t work, what does that say?
