October 23, 1983, 241 American Marines were killed by a truck bomb which went through the perimeter because guards were told to keep their rifle magazines in their pouches unless necessary. I understand that .30 caliber machine gun emplacements did not have their ammo belts locked and loaded by virtue of that same order. One of the men manning a machine gun emplacement said he saw the driver look out the truck window after hitting the building the Marines were sleeping in and the driver had a very happy smile on his face before he pulled the bomb trigger.

241 DEAD AMERICAN MARINES because of a politically correct buracrats orders. This is why some grunts approve of "Fragging" their own officers.
