What a sad situation we are in.
That is the take Muhammaed Lila wants you to have on his story.
I don’t think there is anything at all unusual or remarkable about it.
Let me get this straight, these guys are under threat and/or fire 24/7 from THE ENEMY. And Panetta disrespects them by having them disarm?!!
Please don’t tell me this putz was there to give some sort of motivational speach to the troops. It’s the never ending FAIL PARADE of the Obama regime.
Turning the military into another feckless politically correct institution ... the MArines were made to lay their arms down because Panetta, et al wouldn’t want the Afghans to think he was faraid they would take revenge on him. It wasn’t Marines the commie prick was afraid of, it was the afghans, but because this current commie administration uses PC to direct their world, the Marines were insulted. ... Typical of democrats
ROFL our Secretary of Defense is afraid to go around armed American Soldiers.
Recon he would feal more comfortable being the Secretary of defense for the UN.
What!The Marines were forced to attend this clowns photo op.
I hate seeing our troops abused in that manner.They’re not ornaments that are for the pleasure of the Secretary Of Defence or any other politician.
Dang.
Too bad.
obama is an idiot with the capital I.

Two halves of one story, none of which is really being told.
Guy goes into town and shoots it up. He sets the bodies on fire. This happens after 9 US military, including Marines, are killed after the Quran was burned - piss be upon Muhammed.
The town didn’t get shot up until AFTER Obama calls and APOLOGIZES FOR THE BOOK BURNING, and with NOTHING being said about the 9 dead US soldiers.
Now Panetta flies out to see what kind of situation is in place, because it is very badly screwed up, and it got that way because of the Apologist in Chief.
Panetta askes that Marines be disarmed for one, and only one, reason. He’s been briefed that he may have a full scale mutiny on his hands.
Now, in fantasyland, you could simply prosecute a whole bunch of people for mutiny under the UCMJ. In the real world, that sort of thing would draw worldwide press, and if 1/10th of what the actual situation was in the wind, Obama would be in even more trouble than he thinks he is right now.
Bottom line is that there’s no strategy in place, and everyone still in country is completely defensive. The counter-insurgency strategy is out the window, because Obama’s already signaled ‘retreat’.
I don’t think Panetta believes that the generals on the ground continue to control the troops, especially the Marines. Their attitude is likely, “Either lets win this or lets go home today.”
The only vote those boys have are in their rifles, and Panetta is likely extremely opposed to those boys exercising that vote.
This is the same jackhole, by the way, that told Sen. Sessions that while it is necessary to get UN approval for a military expedition into Syria, getting CONGRESSIONAL approval for it is NOT. I kid you not. The video is absolutely jaw-dropping.
There isn’t even a pretense of constitutional authority any more.
Americans do not trust Panetta.
Panetta does not trust Americans.
This bum doesn`t belong in US and neither does Obummer.
Okay, it makes more sense to me now.
We were afraid one of the Afghans would shoot Panetta, and since we are so totally PC we disarmed our own people too to spare their feelings.
Still think it’s a stupid idea, but at least I can now follow the logic.
A Marine and their rifle:’’ Without me my rifle is useless;without my rifle I am useless’’. Panettas a dirt-bag.
IMHO......Panetta should be afraid of his own troops!!! Worst Secretary of Defense in the history of the country. My heart and soul pray for all our fine military men and women, who are operating without leadership and direction from POTUS Obama, Panetta and Obama’s military leaders. Our troops in harms way are being used as cannon fodder, while Obama and his traitor ilk work feverishly to destroy America!!!
I cannot imagine what a mother and father go through when they find out their son or daughter has been slain needlessly, while Obama fiddles away our precious military folks, for the benefit of his re-election. Folks, read what Hitler did with German troops in WWII and you will see how Obama and Panetta are doing the exact same thing!!!
As I was saying:

Comes to find out, an interpreter grabbed a humvee and tried to crash Panetta’s plane as it landed.
Bad neighborhood, time to go.
Enemies foreign and high level domestic.
Not pinging for comment, just FYI.
