If some of you were fish....you would have been hooked, cleaned, and fried for dinner by this story.
You don't know what the Marines were actually doing....and it might just have been as simple as a PSD (Protective Services Detail) for a Diplomat or small group of Diplomats.
It could also be a cover story to disguise what they were really doing.
It does not matter what the General had to say....as it does not affect what was done or is being done as it is just a "story" and a very vague one at that.
Is there anyone that thinks NATO Troops, vehicles, aircraft, and Intelligence Service Agent do not cross the Border into Ukraine....ever?
Even after this War ends...we shall not know to what extent our forces operated to support the Ukraine Military and the Government of Ukraine.
Some secrets shall be very well concealed and those that are not are not crucial anyway.
Some of you arm chair Generals and OpsSec experts are a laugh at times.
