This was a diplomatic nightmare, Ambassador Martin delayed the departure of Marines leaving 11 on the roof top for 24 hours. Martin had to be escorted and have the flag forced into his chest and shoved onto a departing helicopter. He wanted to negotiate with the North...Ambassador, it was over. The delay had already cost the lives of two Marines and the possibility of losing the remainder was imminent. Bob Mondo and Steve Schuller were later reassigned to New Delhli after the fall, got a first-hand briefing on exactly what went down.


Are you going to Irwindale on the 7th?
