RENO, Nev. –  DEVELOPING:  An explosion at a military ammunition storage facility in Nevada during a Marine Corps training exercise caused several fatalities, officials said early Tuesday.

Several Marines were killed in the Monday night explosion at the Hawthorne Army Depot, sources told Fox News. Russ Collier, an official at the facility, told KRNV-TV that the explosion was an accident unrelated to the ammunition that is stored at the military facility near the small desert community of Hawthorne.

The 147,000-acre depot is about 140 miles southeast of Reno. The Mineral County sheriff's office said it did not have any details.

The Hawthorne Army Depot stores and disposes of ammunition, and provides long-term storage for industrial plant equipment. The facility is comprised of hundreds of buildings spread over more than 230 square miles.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Two can play that game.....Obama and the senate bought faulty arms for the military....and got a kick back on the deal.

A sad loss of life.....prayers for the families.

Just make sure to let people know in 4 years that he POLITICIZED THE DEATH of Marines BEFORE THE FAMILIES WERE EVEN NOTIFIED.

It was Barack Hussein Obama’s idea to place the heaviest cuts in the sequester on the military. It was Harry Reid’s intransigence that refused to allow House bills that would have avoided cuts to the military to be brought to the floor of the Senate. And it was both Reid and Obama who stopped a Senate bill that would have allowed Obama to cut the sequestration amount largely at his discretion.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

No.  Not that I've heard.  I heard a clip of the WH Press kid saying, "We are deeply saddened by the loss...." in a clip this afternoon.  That's about it.
