Today marks the 25th anniversary of the date on which the Islamic Republic of Iran confirmed their declaration war upon the United States of America with the bombing of the United States Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.
This act of war killed 241 of America's finest amphibious warriors in a cowardly VBIED suicide truck bombing. The allegedly recently deceased master terrorist, Imad Fayed Mughnieh, Iranian terrorist proxy Hezbollah (a de facto Lebanon-based arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, and their lackey associated Lebanese Shi'a militia known as Amal ( Afwâj al-Muqâwmat al-Lubnâniyya) are believed to have been responsible for the actual execution of this unavenged atrocity on the direction of the Iranian government headed by Ayatollaoh Ruhollah Khomeini.Both Hezbollah and Amal are today a virtual part of the Lebanese military as a result of the military coup d'etat against the Lebanese government and Army just five months ago.
The thought of any American political figure wanting to negotiate with these murderous terrorists is tantamount to treason in the eyes of this veteran,
To the United States Marine Corps and our decaesed brothers-in-arms a vigous Oorah! Semper Fi! to you all. We will never, ever forget your sacrifice.
