Yes excellent point. The Marines had no valid reason or purpose for being in Beriut Lebanon so long. Marines are first responder, nothing else. We come in and come right back out. Not to stay. To stay is NOT a job description of being Marines. If this dumb Regan wanted to occupy any place in Beirut Lebanon Regan should have sent the UN not Marines. This is to show all how incompetent the so called "leaders" of the USA were back then and are today also. Improper use of military personnel in Beriut Lebanon and all over the World. This is why USA Citizens do not want to join the USA military. So the USA has to import none USA Citizens to serve in the USA military. Sad!

I remember that attack on the Marine barracks back in 1983 Beirut, I was only four years old at the time that's my first lesson learned about freedom isn't free, what freedom costs and it was then I want to stand up for America against all enemies everywhere including terrorists by any means necessary when I was growing up, Rest easy Marines, fair winds and following seas, rest easy Navy corpsmen and all the other Americans that died on that day, Semper Fi

Special Forces Soldiers from the 10th SFG(A) had an MTT on the ground in Beirut at the time of the incident. Members of the CI Section, MI Company, conducting force protection operations for the SF Unit had advanced warning of the attack and pushed it up the chain. The Marine Chain of Command in Beirut at the time elected to ignore the warning. The sentries on duty at the time had no ammunition for their weapons. 243 Marines died that day. Vanity oh, vanity.

I was there and those Special Forces pukes couldn't find their own ass with two hands and a compass. Proof of that was when four of them got lost out in the 'ville because they went for a drive without a map and we had to go look for them. They finally got back, minus all their gear and weapons which were confiscated by one of the militias out in the hills. I was also there when our XO chewed their asses for having their heads up said asses. They weren't conducting force protection, they were training the LAF. We don't use Army pukes to protect us, especially green beanies. They were a small, ineffective presence who had no connection to the MNF mission. There was no advance warning because they didn't have it, because they didn't have assets to learn it, and nothing was "pushed up the chain." And, BTW, the sentries at the BLT gate DID have ammo in their weapons, but the order from SACEUR was no round in the chamber. One sentry did manage to get off a shot before the truck disappeared under the building. I was there, not sitting back home making up hindsighted bullshit. -Gunny Opie 24th MAU 1983

We were heading to relieve 1/8 from the root when we got side tracked to Grenada. No decision made. The 8th Marines , I was Golf 2/8, started floats to the root in 82. 2/6 was air alert which held the line untill we landed in early November. I did two floats into Lebanon. Grenada was a joke and we left after five days.

I had just left 29Palms after radio school for Lejune. I remember I was in formation when a Marine pointed at me and said, " You, over this way are going to 3/6." The rest went to Beirut. Two of those Marines had just finished radio school with me and I never saw them again.

This was a preventable, horrific event that sadly is lost to a great many Americans. One of too many...🇺🇸

We had a sergaent lat move into the MOS and a bunch of jets did a break over our airfield for landing. We realized he was under a table and crawling out before we realized he had disappeared. THAT drove a very pointed point home. I also learned a LOT from his stories and those actually helped me a bunch when desert storm kicked off. It also changed a lot of SOP going forward.

I was on the bus heading to BOCES, we had just gotten a bus with a random and Imus in the morning was on when he reported on the barracks. I stayed on the bus and went back to the high school. When I got back I first went to the post office and registered for the draft then walked a block up to the Marine Coros recruiting station and talked with SSG O'Keef. Gave me a pep talk thanked me for coming in and said I was too young but to come see him in 2 years. I graduated HS 08June 86 left for boot camp 09 June 86.

I was on board USS Inchon LPH-12 and did the Beirut rotation from Oct 1982 until March 1983. If my memory is correct we deployed all of are embarked Marines to the Airport and they experienced fires almost on a daily basis. My division spent time on the ground providing the Lebanese civilian population with medical care and working to fix schools that had been damaged by the civil war and the Israeli shelling under almost the same conditions. Unbeknownst to us when we turned over to the next amphib group that they would be involved in the bombing on 23 Oct 1983. BTW I ended up staying in the Navy for a total of 33 years and did tours with the Marines in Desert Shield/Storm, Okinawa, MCCDC Quantico and HQMC in the Pentagon.

Semper Fi..... Iam at a loss of words my grandfather and his 4 brothers all served in WWll. My uncle was badly wounded in the battle of Iwo Jima his fellow Marines saved his life. He just passed at 93. Their beloved Corps, I just saw a female Marine with dress blues on!!! What happened to tradition?

I saw recruiters at my school and I was struggling with my own self image and wasn’t interested with anything after school but as soon as I saw the recruiters I thought to my self I want to do this so I went up to them and since then I’ve started working out and started getting a better self image of myself though I can’t start doing PT till next year as I’m only 16 I will give it my all into becoming a marine.

I was no longer an active-duty Marine when I heard the news that day. But it was still a MASSIVE gut-punch. I still remember that feeling several times a year, and just remembering through this video brought the emotions and tears right back. In one hall of our apartment, I have a poster of a line from a letter President Reagan wrote to the family of one of those Marines: "Some people spend a lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The Marines don't have that problem." Parris Island, graduated November 10 1967. Three years active duty (Vietnam 1969-70); three years active reserve. Sergeant. Still a Marine!

Everyone seems to think that the bombing is all there was to Beirut. Wrong. We received potshots and strays from day one and in August things got more serious. We took regular harassing fire and sniping. At the end of August all hell broke loose and we took our first killed and wounded. As August became September, the Israelis pulled back from Beirut and the city erupted. From that point on, it was a very rare day that we weren't under fire from small arms, mortars, rockets, and even 23mm anti-aircraft guns shooting down at us from the hills. This cease fire and that cease fire were broken as soon as they were negotiated. We continued to take casualties on a regular basis. Then came October 23rd. What haunts me the most is that we weren't allowed to hit back... we had to sit in that perimeter and take it. It wasn't our war but we were smack dab right in the middle of it and we paid the toll in blood. A toll exacted as much by the politicians in Washington DC as by the militias and terrorists we faced. I can forgive the forces arrayed against us, it was a war they were fighting and they acted accordingly. I can never forgive the politicians who rendered us helpless in the midst of battle.

The Beirut "peacekeeping force" was an impossible mission. We should have let Israel finish off the PLO and Yassar Arafat once and for all.

I did two deployments to Beirut and it was nothing but a political stunt by Reagan to flex his willingness to use force.
