The Pentagon, the Marine Command, repeatedly told State and the Reagan folks the “Marine barracks” in Beirut could NOT be defended, and the troops should be moved out, and put in less concentrated facilities. Reagan’s people said, NO WAY, keep them right there: the result was 254 dead Marines. THAT was covered up by the press of the day, and to this day.
It’s frustrating that idiots like Limbaugh can get their dittoheads so stirred up, and then make up their stories as they go along, to keep the fraud alive.
