Not likely. This has been a policy for decades. The Marine detachments simply are not large enough to defend entire compounds. Plus, the inside of a chancery gives the tactical advantage to the Marines.
It’s a good policy overall. But if the host government isn’t going to own up their responsibility to protect the outside, it’s time for an evacuation.
Our ‘diplomats’ should have been out of there by now, anyway!
You miss my point.
New orders from on high would be “don’t resist”.
It is past time for an evacuation.
How would you evac them now?
