Tomorrow will mark the 21st anniversary of one of the most egregious failures
in US military history. On October 23, 1983, a Syrian- and Iranian-backed
Hizbullah terrorist drove a Mercedes truck laden with 180 kilograms of
explosives into the US Marine barracks at Beirut International Airport. Three
hundred and fifty US Marines lived in the four-story building. Two hundred
and forty-one of those men were killed in their sleep that Sunday morning
when, in a split second, the building was reduced to a 4.5-meter pile of
debris.
In a gripping memoir, Peacekeepers at War – A Marine's Account of the Beirut
Catastrophe, written in 1986, former marine Michael Petit recalled his shock
as he surveyed the rubble, gazing at the crushed bodies and tattered bedrolls
of his fellow marines, smelling the acrid stench of fiery death and hearing
the howls of those buried alive.
"How could this happen?" he wrote. "I wailed in anguish as I surveyed the
carnage moments after the blast. I felt devastated. Furious. Friends has
lived in the [building]. Co-workers. Marines who were in Lebanon on a
peacekeeping mission."
US forces were initially deployed to Beirut in 1982 to enable PLO forces to
escape from Lebanon. In 1983 they returned, along with French, British and
Italian troops to separate the IDF, the Christian, Druse and Muslim militias
and the Syrian military forces from one another. The purpose was to enable
the incapable, incompetent and corrupt Lebanese Army to assert control, first
over Beirut and its suburbs and gradually over the entire country.
