1979, still a shave tail 2nd lewie in the USMC. Recruiter told me. in 1972, about seeing the world and, as there is a Marine contingent at every US embassy and consulate, he assured me that I could get that duty (smaller consulates have a contingent of only 12 USMC guards, and one junior officer). Of course, as every word out of a recruiters mouth was a lie ... no such thing.

Recently, I was having a conversation with one of my tenants (army boy) and he asked me if I ever had that duty (embassy or consulate). I told him that "with my luck it would have been in Tehran".

Seriously, I have thought about the irene situation and felt great shame for a very long time. An invasion of US soil is not only an Act of War, but a Declaration of War. No peace treaty, no armistice, not even a cease fire. For close to half of a century the US was such a pussy that it never retaliated. I've been wanting the entirety of irene turned into black glass, since November of 1979.

Better late than never. Put every single, solitary iranian to the sword.
