Yep. Even in Israel, then our most secure embassy, we only had a couple dozen Marine Security Guards. We relied on Israeli contractor guards for most of our protection, and the regular Israeli police and military. My 17-yr old was dating one of the MSGs—they had to take an armored Suburban to cruise Tel Aviv, with an armed Israeli driver. A comforting system from a father’s point of view.
