Fox News update on this:
**UPDATE**
Further Marine spokesman at Pentagon Lt Col Chris Hughes says these reports are NOT true. This is on the record:
The Ambassador and RSO have been completely and appropriately engaged with the security situation. No restrictions on weapons or weapons status have been imposed. This information comes from the Det Commander at AMEMB Cairo.
This makes me sick.

Not surprised. I wondered what the RsOE were.
To the Obama administration, Marines are expendable.
Somebody want to remind me where an apologist ambassador gets the authority to disarm a US Marine? Not on my watch. I can picture a blabby mouthed ambassador learning all about a butt stroke? It used to be considered a good assignment to get posted to an embassy. Now it sounds more like a suicide wish. All these Obamuzzie apologists are going to come to grief. They are clearly seen by the muzzies/’rabs as the “weakest link”. I just hope none of out Marines get hurt humoring these high nosed pieces or work-——————————Semper Fi.
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by
that here, obedient to their law, we lie.
Simonides’s epigram at Thermopylae
You mean, the host country would know they had live ammo in their magazine? How? By sending a howling mob to rush their position? And if they get shot, instead of consummating their assault, then the host country would be offended?
Citizens arrest, Citizens arrest!!
This isn’t the perogative of an ambassador, this is rules of engagement established by Obama. If this is true every damn Marine officedr in that chain of command should be cashiered and Obama should be impeached. Of course none of that will happen.
Just heard on Focx News that the Pentagon denies that Marines are not allowed to carry loaded firearms.
Tried to tell others about Marines and soldiers doing such duties without ammunition, but others obfuscated the matter and issued false reports. There’s a generalized hatred and fomented distrust against men (i.e., men) and real families in the USA, and it’s been constructed by all political sides for decades. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
This is not new, Carter did the same back in the 1970’s.
