Explosives have gone missing from the in Twentynine Palms Marine Corps base in Southern California, the military said Tuesday. Jeff Houston of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service said a probe was launched into the missing devices, The Associated Press reported. KGTV reported last week that military officials had launched a search after some 10 pounds of C-4 vanished from the base during a training exercise. The Twentynine Palms combat center, located in the desert of San Bernardino County, is the largest Marine Corps base in the U.S., sprawling over more than 900 square miles. A spokesperson for the Marines didn’t immediately respond

I can tell you ten pounds of C-4 makes for a respectably big bang.

Fun to play with but very dangerous in the wrong hands.

Anyone surprised? After what we have witnessed these past few months especially, nothing should surprise us. Be vigilant and keep your eyes open. We now know our government is playing favorites and they are no friend to the people in flyover country. If it necessary to crack a few eggs while making their communist omelet, they will. Remember, it’s all about the result. It matters nothing to them how they get there.

Back in the mid 60's I was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. There was a case of some black Marines stealing arms and ammunition, transporting them up north, for sale to the black power movement. This was done during all of the black riots in NJ.

Lately, with the kinds of street crimes you read about, and the frequency with which they happen, you begin to wonder if we are not again living in the wild, wild, west. Law and order does not exist because it is so selective. The hate America crowd is winning.
Miss Trump yet? Give it a year or two.
May God help us.

People should know better than that. Its ok to blow stuff up for the government, but if you do it privately it does not go well.
It may or may not get found, but those who did it will get caught. Those military investigators don't miss a trick. I was interviewed by the OSI more than once in the AF and believe me, it is a horrible experience. Leaving a building not in handcuffs is never so sweet, and you're afraid to look back for fear they are watching out the window and will take that as an admission of something.

They need to heat the delicious green eggs and ham served at the outdoor chow hall at Camp Wilson and to blow up those damned Mojaveans. Twenty Nine Stumps; what a delta corridor of fun that place was, especially in July.

Why don’t the Marines just go to “Missing” (is that in California?) and take back the explosives?

Antifa going big time, no more fireworks to throw at cops and buildings. The FBI team might have to be called off the garage door noose investigation and sent in on this one. Then maybe not they couldn't find their behinds with a pair of moose horns and a $200 flashlight.

Cutting to the chase...White supremacists will be blamed, some useful idiot(s) perhaps apprehended. Then the whole thing will be down the memory hole. No more to see here.

We can make jokes all we want to about who might have swiped this stuff, but this is terrifying news. Trying to excuse the theft on the size of the Base IMO is just ridiculous.

Do they really need an old lady in Tennessee to tell them to set a guard at the electric power grids and every community water supply?? On a cross-county road trip Monday, I noticed security cars blocking entry to a huge power grid. The water filtering plant has had heavy security for years. The Christmas Day blow-apart of downtown Nashville was done by a ''lone-wolf'' nut case. That is not to say there won't be clones and copycats. The damages and injuries are what they are after because it makes the 6 o'clock news.

No doubt the base leadership was doing all the "right things" when it came to "race relations", "gender fluidity acceptance", and even "1619 Appreciation Week", but somewhere along the way the very reason for the existence of the United States military got lost in the midst of all the Pentagon's "social engineering." That essential mission of the military is to "Kill People and Break Things." In my time in the military if a Base Commander was not clearly in command and security of every single weapon, jeep, truck, helicopter, and round of ammunition, his career was over. Let's see how the new Biden Marine Corps handles this leadership problem... promote those most responsible, but hang the blame on pro-Trumpers?

Maybe it’s headed to SanFran for a little urban redevelopment?
Seriously, some better handling of materials is needed and accountability is in order.

Hopefully they were just misplaced. Wait and see if the feds conduct a raid somewhere or if something suddenly goes boom. This could also be a narrative by our government to setup a right wing extremist attack as well.
Wait and see. Its possible we will never hear anything else about this since it could all get swept under the proverbial rug.

Never underestimate the government's penchant to screw up the inventory, either.

He's at it again... during the obama years... ammunition went missing in large amounts... no one ever found it... could it be the reason Isis grew substantially during that period... in addition to the billions in green cash airlifted to Iran by obama... was there ammunition tucked between the skids of cash?... just wondering...

Is the Left planning another "false flag" operation? And will a "white supremacist" male Marine be framed?

At 900 sq mi, that combat center is 3/4 the size of the State of Rhode Island (1,200 sq mi).
Which ain't really saying much...Harris Co, Texas (Houston) comprises 1,777 sq mi.
Los Angeles Co, CA, comprises 4,751 sq mi.
Tell me again why Rhode Island should have its own two Senators?
