We've seen Camp Lejuene marines in Iraq and Afghanistan and now they are joining the fight against Libya. 2200 marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or 26th MEU will take part. Their mission is to help end the violence directed at the Libyan people. "In Libya right now they are doing exactly what we need them to do. They are doing what they are told and right now that's protecting Libyan people against Qadhafi forces," said Captain Timothy Patrick, a marine with the 26th MEU. A press release from the 26th MEU reads, in part: "Protecting the innocent and conducting combined operations are what we are designed to do, our forces are doing both as part of the U.S commitment to protect Libyan citizens." Patrick says that marines from the 26th MEU are coming on the end of their deployment. They will be replaced with marines from the 22nd MEU.

Haven't these troops been deployed a gazillion times already and need a break? Why are they being sent on yet another lame deployment? Where is the outrage?
Not that I disagree with your statement in anyway, but.....
You are aware of what happened to the last Troop that had the audacity to question the Constitutional authority/qualification of the alleged C-i-C don't you?
Does Leavenworth ring a bell?
It won’t be any officer above field grade (full bird), They are all spineless.
The pentagon is full of fairies, and DC is WORTHLESS!
Have a good day.
Semper Fi!
Thank you for the voice of restraint. I was going to post just about what you did.
I won’t be surprised if zero does break his word and put the Marines ashore, but it hasn’t happened yet.
The same time a “no fly zone” started targeting tanks...
To call this a no fly zone is drivel.
BLOOD FOR OIL
