I sure as fuck didn't think I'd still be around 40 years later rehashing this bullshit in my 60s. I guess I figured that I'd check out about 50 like my old man did.
I didn't think there'd be a rerun starting a couple, three years ago with Bidet's clot-shot mandates systematically killing 15 or so of my friends, including three girlfriends.
And now frail and doddering homosexual Prez Poopy Pants Pedophile has things fucked up over there again because he's so weak and has destroyed the military with his gay diversity, inclusion and equity [DIE] suicide pact. Nobody's afraid of the rainbow flag US now.
The above video was put out on 11May2023, I've not seen it until today. The events of the day begin at 8:04.
The following discussion group occurred on 21Sep2023. I was asked to participate, but I'm still not allowed to discuss specifics of what was going on over there.
I've not seen it, and I probably never will. 1:24:56.
The Beirut Barracks Bombing of 1983: The Stories that America Needs to Hear
Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA) will host a panel of experts to discuss the historic events of the Beirut Barracks Bombing of 1983. This panel will review the history of the Lebanese civil war, American military intervention in Lebanon during this time, and the deadliest single-day attack for the United States Marine Corps since the battle for Iwo Jima in 1945. The event “The Beirut Barracks Bombing of 1983: The Stories that America Needs to Hear” will take place on Thursday, September 21, 2023, at 7 p.m. in the Anita Tuvin Schlechter Auditorium (ATS). The event is free and open to the public. Masks are optional but welcome. The program will also be livestreamed and available via a link at clarkeforum.org.
The Beirut barracks bombing is an important event in American history, one that is often disregarded and forgotten, and yet it is loaded with meaning and lessons in counterterrorism. The panel will emphasize the value of remembering the past and honoring the sacrifices of the Beirut veterans.

...was the largest non-nuclear explosion ever recorded.
That's not entirely accurate. 'Largest non-nuclear [bomb] explosion ever recorded' would be more accurate.
During the Manhattan Project, just before Trinity, they touched off a 100 ton (0.1 kiloton) pile of dynamite to calibrate their instruments. That was the biggest 'deliberate manmade non-nuclear explosion,' but wasn't exactly mobile like a 'bomb.'
This photo was taken 28 hours after the explosion, at ground zero. The circle at bottom right is where the 100-ton test was conducted on May 7, 1945.
During one of the bullshit Gulf Wars, George Dumbya Bush set off a massive bomb at Eglin AFB that damn near blew off the Florida panhandle, breaking windows in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, to scare the towelheads into submission. That's now the biggest bomb explosion, I think.
The compressed gas-enhanced bomb, detonated by the suicide truck bomber...
Pretty sophisticated stuff. That was long before the internet existed, and there was some speculation that only one country in the region had the capability to produce such a bomb, and it wasn't some 6th century group of ragtag towelheads. I'm not going to comment, but if that's true, the event would be equivalent to the USS Liberty event v2.0.
Now we're being set up for "Let's you and him fight" again, 40 years post Beirut '83.

I worked for the US Marines in the 90's, met a guy who was there at the time. He told me the problem was the the guards could not shoot anything that was coming to the base, only after they were in the base

Yeah, I recall that they were allowed to have a magazine in their weapons, but being 'locked and loaded' was forbidden.
