Coasties, Marines and Sailors Awarded for Seizing Millions of Pounds of Explosive Materials in Middle East
 
Published June 04, 2024 at 11:25am ET

Hundreds of service members earned an award for seizing two million pounds of "explosive precursor material" in the Gulf of Oman last year, according to a citation obtained by Military.com. It is one of the U.S. military's largest publicly revealed hauls as it works to stifle arms smuggling in the region.

Between late August and early September, Marines and sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, along with Coast Guardsmen assigned to Patrol Forces Southwest Asia, intercepted a "stateless vessel" suspected of carrying the explosive material, offloaded its haul, and escorted the vessel to a naval base in Bahrain.
 
Marines and sailors with the 26th MEU -- a "special operations capable" unit -- provided security for the Coast Guard unit as it interdicted the vessel and offloaded its cargo, according to the citation. The award, the Coast Guard Meritorious Team Commendation, was signed off on by the service's commandant, Adm. Linda L. Fagan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That 2 million pounds of explosives was bound for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, probably.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
