"40 Years Later: The Haunting Legacy of the Beirut Marine Barracks Attack"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News

On the 40th anniversary of the 1983 Beirut Marine barracks terror attack, author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr reflects on the devastating event that claimed the lives of 241 U.S. servicemen. The attack, carried out by Iranian-backed Shiite terrorists who would later become Hezbollah, marked the beginning of a new war that American leaders were slow to recognize. The bombing ultimately led to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Lebanon. Carr highlights the heroic rescue efforts of the Marines and the emotional impact on President Ronald Reagan, who privately expressed his remorse for sending the troops into harm's way.
