100 Marines in a building, let’s see you try to take the building now.
It’s a whole different kind of Alamo.

No I’m not. Those were Marines on a peacekeeping mission, in an unguarded barracks except for two sentries out front. And they had unloaded weapons. It’s a very different reality today. The Beirut bombing is like box cutters on an airliner. It worked once, in peacetime. Try it again and see what happens.
