>The Cato Institute admits they are counting Embassy Marines.< KT, yes some are. However, you need to consider that on-duty soldiers but especially uniformed soldiers of a foreign country are generally not appreciated by people in the host country even in embassies. The practise might be tolerated but only for a single obvious reason. I don't think U.S. citizens would like to come across uniformed Russian, Chinese or even German soldiers on U.S. soil even at embassies. As an illustration, there was a major controversy in Switzerland last year because there was a small group of British soldiers that were training in the mountains of Switzerland. The outrage by the population was pronounced even though they were never in uniform. The practise was stopped immediately, at least according to government sources.
