Dec 2019

Heavily-armed Iranian guerillas stormed and attacked the US Embassy in Teheran. They trapped US ambassador William Sullivan and about 100 members of his staff in the building, shelling it for THREE DAYS. At that time, I was stationed at NATTC Memphis, TN (Naval Aviation Tactical Training Command in Millington, TN). There were hundred of Iranians on base being trained in various capacities of aviation, including basic flight training. They were GONE in less than 24 hours, deported back to Iran.

There IS precedent for expelling foreign military trainees. ALL Saudi personnel should be IMMEDIATELY SENT BACK .
