US Marines required to REMOVE the BOLTS from their M1 Rifles for Obama’s 2013 Inauguration Parade.
This isn’t the first time the Obama Cartel has shown open distrust and loathing for our military – and our Marines in particular. RRB reported last year that SecDEF Leon Panetta made Marines leave their weapons outside – in a war zone – when he spoke to them in Afghanistan.
In under 4 years, Obama has gone from using our troops as props for his political speeches – to openly distrusting them. What does this say about him, – and the fools who voted for him?
TWO things to understand:
ONE – these Marines are almost all combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan – and are HAND-PICKED for this unit. There are no ‘loose screws’ among them.
TWO – their rifles are WWII era M1 Garands – semi-automatic [not assault] .30 cal rifles – now used strictly for ceremonial purposes. They are incapable of penetrating the bullet-proof glass which surrounds Obama as he observes parades.
So removing the bolts does NOT keep Obama any safer – but it DOES INSULT the Marines who are marching to honor him.
In any military – at any time in history – the first elements essential to victory and security are leadership, respect, honor, and trust. These are far more important than numbers, weapons, or tactics.
Obama has just demonstrated his total lack of leadership, respect, honor or trust. He is in fact a cowardly vacuum – loathing both our country and our troops.
When Obama is eventually tried and convicted of TREASON, I hope these same Marines - serving with a level of honor that Obama can never even understand – are brought back to serve as his firing squad.

As they say on Facebook OMG WTF is this narcissist paranoid or what?

I am totally gobsmacked. When Obama goes to a military base to mingle for his photo op does he have all the soliders leave their weapons outside. Or is there a “weapons check” at the door to include a portable metal detector to make sure the soldiers don’t have any ammo in the weapons or on their persons. When he travels through a town/city and has a police escort from that city, do those officers have to take the ammunition out of their pistols first—OR just maybe they are given one like Barney Fife.
What a slap in the face to any and all persons who has ever taken an oath to server and protect!

What a slap in the face to any who has ever taken the Oath to uphold the Constitution. Truly contemptible.

Beatrice: A slap in the face doesn’t half discribe the insult. He and members of Congress ask soldiers to give their lives for he and the Constitution and this is the way they are honored.

I can’t figure out why he would worry so much about the men sworn to protect him.
When he gets popped, it will come from one of those over-drugged liberals who will magically appear in the lot, beside a car filled with hate-mail that will certainly prove he was the lone gunman on the building about a mile away from the motorcade.
Oh, some jackass in the media will point to a Boy Scout pamplet in the man’s personal effects and declare him an extreme rightist who hated the YMCA.

When 0bama goes to a military base his people give out cameras.
That way everyone back home sees how happy these young people are serving 0bama. The troops all smile while they take pictures of the dear leader. Next time he is at a base, camp or fort take a good look at the picture takers.
And another thing……….. There are 965,000 M1 Garands that So Korea wants out of their storage. 0bama won’t allow them to be sold to the US public.
And one more thing……… Would 0bama be tried in a civil court or a military court?

I can understand not trusting squids, but our Marines are the best of the best.

Apparently, the biggest dope in the White House is more afraid of our military than he is of the people who actually do wish him harm.
So be it.
