Houthi rebels took all U.S. Embassy vehicles parked at the Yemeni capital's airport and wouldn't let departing U.S. Marines take their weapons with them, a top Sanaa airport official said about the latest evidence of unrest in an Arab nation long seen as key in America's fight against terrorists. [More]As per usual, "folks" are in harm's way without adequate resources in a place of questionable value to Constitutional interests.
Ah well, I'm sure the administration will be able to come up with some comparable examples by Christians from a thousand years ago, to inject some moral equivalency, and to make some of us feel like undeserving, racially-privileged beneficiaries of an evil heritage.

WTF? Marines giving up their weapons to terrorists?
Must have been a fire t order from the traitor in chief.
I give up: Uncle Sam's Misguided Children surrendering weapons (whether fully functional or not) to some 4th world ground ape removes any remnant of my respect for the Corps.
But then, the pukes at tsa seize my face razors, rendering gentlemanly grooming impossible.
The hell?
How do you get a Marine's weapons without killing them?
Why were then in such a status that allowed this?
I'm sure the media will get right on this.
Update from the article.
he U.S. Marine Corps sharply denied the allegations.
"All crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy prior to movement. None of them were 'handed over' in any way to anyone. The destruction of weapons at the embassy and the airport was carried out in accordance with an approved destruction plan," the statement read.
The statement continued: "To be clear: No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him."
