Thank you Cpt Obvious.

Is there anything else concerning US embassy operations you'd like to share with us? Or have you forgotten most Special Forces soldiers work directly with US embassies during their deployments, on a worldwide basis, its part of what we do.

EDIT to add:

Doesn't it make you wonder why the DSS/State Dept sent blackwater personnel to "rescue" the Polish Ambassador and not called the US military instead? Can you say "POLITICS". Another waste of my taxpayers money.
