| #6 Those troops were Marines B! "On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and his band overran the arsenal. Some of his men rounded up a handful of hostages, including a few enslaved people. Word of the raid spread, and by morning Brown and his men were surrounded. A company of U.S. marines arrived on October 17, led by Colonel Robert E. Lee and Lieutenant J. E. B. Stuart.

| #1 LOL. Meanwhile, if other countries want to project power off their own coasts, that's a war crime and a violation of our human rights. Our human rights to send our military to the other side of the planet and bomb anyone the deep state doesn't like. |
