The biggest one was the Beruit barracks bombing. Marines throughout the operation were given strict ROEs. Only one of the marines was able to chamber a round and shoot. On October 23rd 83 a truck bomb drove into the barracks of BLT 1/8 and killed 241 service members the majority of which were marines. Largest non nuclear explosion since ww2 at the time and was the largest loss of marines in a single day since ww2. Same day almost 60 French paratroopers were killed in a similar attack.

2 days later Reagan invaded Grenada and the marine units that fought in grenada suffered little to no Kia and was rotated to Beruit relieve 1/8. They were under constant mortar fire and lost 4-6 marines during that period. They somehow lost more marines in the peacekeeping mission then they did in the actual conflict they fought weeks earlier. Some point in 1984 we withdrew all Americans. I went to the memorial right off lejeune once I hit the fleet. It’s crazy seeing all those names from a single incident most have never heard off. Those poor guys
