Dishonoring the Corps

Dishonoring the Corps; Marines in inaugural parade had bolts removed from their rifles


Dishonored and disarmed: Bolts are clearly missing from these Marine rifles during President Obama's inauguration parade. This is an unmistakable insult to the honor of the Marine Corps.
David Codrea has revealed that President Obama has so little regard for the United States Marines risking their lives under his command life that they were forced to dismantle their already empty parade rifles for his second inauguration parade. This is nothing less than a slap in the face of the Corps:

"Didn't know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural," an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. "Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!"

The email linked to a YouTube video of the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade, embedded in this column, featuring Bravo Company Marines from the Marine Barracks Washington. Sure enough, the observation in the email is confirmed by watching the video, with screen shots provided in the photo and slide show accompanying this article.

This prompted an internet search to see if others had also noticed, and the Blur-Brain blog had.
"The bolts have been removed from the rifles rendering them unable to fire a round," the post stated. "Apparently Obama's Secret Service doesn't trust the USMC. Simply searching each guy to make sure he didn't have a live round hidden on him wasn't enough, they had to make sure the guns were inoperable.

Obama doesn't trust the very men who put their lives on the line to serve their country. I guess it shouldn't be that much of a shock. Untrustworthy people find it very difficult to believe that other men have honor.

It is very sad that he can not trust his own country men. Reminds me of the actions of the MAD Roman Emperor Caligula...Maybe a good name for the president is CALIGUBAMA.....
