From there it spread to dozens of other right-wing blogs before making it to Fox News last night. The claim is not only false, but completely misunderstands the role of Marine guards at diplomatic posts. Meanwhile, despite popular conception, the primary mission of Marine Guards at the embassies is to protect classified information, not personnel.
