Why are we even still in that country?!?!?! worldpolice

Great to see Marines arriving good leadership by Commanders and likely Trump ,Commander in Chief making sure bases are covered as well !

COD campaign lol

God bless our troops

Can you just imagine this happening in Benghazi?

Aelkus Why are we seeing this footage?

Sending help to fellow Americans. Not just letting them die like obama and hillary did at Benghazi.

Oorah

Infrared. Infrared is the word you’re looking for.

Stay safe guys

Good, they are strong and they will protect our embassy.

Oh how 'fall of Saigon'! Glad this ended better or at least the terrorists backed away.

May you all stay safe and come home to your families.

Sadly, we tell our enemies our every move. This shouldn’t have been unclassified!!!

This is what Benghazi should have looked like. Always remember. Never forget. HillaryClinton

Look HillaryClinton & BarackObama when your embassy is in danger you send in protection. What an amazing concept.

Lets face it when the US army moves, others shudder, except China.

God bless them.

IntlSpyMuseum Painful to watch. Heading into harm's way. Reminds me why I thank veterans and active duty people on Veterans Day. Pray that the commander-in-chief and State Dept. listen to the Pentagon and the key people at CENTCOM

The marines have landed.

This is how it's done, obama! Thank God biden isn't president.

Was this before or after realDonaldTrump began the back nine?

Just another day spent solving “Huge” problems on the tax payers expense

should have dropped a few MOABs on the town.

odd they’d land at the Italian embassy.

Now our military has to clean up trump's mess. So much for getting the troops out of the middle east.

🤔👇🤔👇🤔👇

History repeating itself, Over and Over again and again. Lived through it and seen it all. From Vietnam and every military operation both legitimate and Illegitimate. $22 Trillion national debt, health care debacle, impeached president. Wake up citizens of America...

I'm not sure this is USA embassy in Baghdad...I mean just check the Google map ...

'Here come the pain.'

Don't take the situation lightly, these militias are unpredictable which requires unpredictable response from the US. These are Iranian back militias who are ready to kill Americans. Iran must pay a heavy price for killing an American.

And Trumps war starts, a bunch of chicken hawks are in charge and it will be another disaster from the Republicans. Another financial crisis will happen and then people will be regretting this incompetent administration another four years, but by then it will be too late.

And so it begins............

Finally

God watch over them.

Be safe, Semprr Fi 🇺🇸

US involvement in middle-east starts more and more from day to day resembel the crashlanding in Vietnam. Total failure. Saigon embassy was evacueted in a panic 45 years ago. Now history echoes itself in Bagdadh.

Oooooooooraaaaaa!!!

U.S glory Marines in action, keep America further great again...

The curse of Sadom Husain lives on. He would have never allowed Iranians in his country. 29 yrs later and look where we are. Iraqis don't want Americans in their country. If they won't defend the American embassy it's time to leave. Trump must be a really bad Chess player.

Fatal historical mistake Was to handle or allowing the proxies of Iran to control Iraq since 2003, the old friends became enemies today !! While millions of Iraqis protesting in the streets against influence of Iran with 500 dead and 25000 wounded since 80 days

SEMPER FI!

bigger news would be helicopters from Baghdad landing at the Iraq embassy in Washington

Prayers for our Marines ❤️

$23,000,000,000,000 in debt. WHERE IS OUR HEALTHCARE FIX!!!?

Brave warriors who didn't complain of bone spurs.

Kill them all and let God sort them out. This ain't no Benghazi

Just add Flight if the Valkyries soundtrack!

Time for some woop-ass!!

ohh shit, real news

Thank God Obama/Biden/Clinton not involved.

Leave those people alone! We have been doing this dance for 20 years and it’s gotten us nothing! We have wasted trillions. Get our people the hell out of there and be done with it!

There seems to be a stealth spec Osprey for use in special missions.

Why are they there?

Trump said; Benghazi been canceled...evil Plans of liberals Broken down

Stop all terorisme

We are all imperialist pigs and sympathizers.

look at here Hillary How must be protect its diplomats..may Clinton will realize why she was Loser..Trump is a Real Leader and everyone been see it,,again

So weird none of the protestors at the embassy were armed..... Isn't that weird?

GTFO

Trump starting more wars

State Department faults Iraq for failing to protect U.S. troopsThe U.S. maintains about 5,000 troops in Iraq at Baghdad's invitation, helping local troops fight the Islamic State insurgency. With that few troops, the U.S. military relies heavily on the Iraqi government for protection Iraq is not America, Americans should not be trespassing there in the first place. Just think how relatively peaceful the world would be without the Middle East. Iraqi officials who condemned the U.S. airstrikes, yet have not similarly denounced the Kataib Hezbollah militia for the Friday rocket barrage Iran is getting bolder after Saudi refinery attacks
