Thus, the name-calling and the mudslinging may begin again in another round of elections here and there, and you will be all the wiser. For I, Uriel, have come to show you, as in the case of Gabriel defining the red ants and the black ants in Cambodia [and Vietnam],^[1] so there has ever been this rivalry. Caught in the middle of this are the forces of freedom on a peace-keeping mission.^[2] Beloved ones, to keep the peace requires that those engaged in war desire peace. And thus, instead, they become fodder in the cross fire of these fallen ones nation by nation.

↑ Archangel Uriel is referring to the deployment of troops from the U.S. and other nations in Lebanon in a peace-keeping mission in the midst of civil war in Lebanon, a conflict that lasted from 1975 to 1990, resulting in an estimated 150,000 fatalities and the exodus of almost one million people from Lebanon. Chronology of U.S. Marine involvement in Lebanon (August ’82 through October ’83): August 25, 1982: 800 Marines from 32nd Amphibious Unit arrived at Beirut port, joining French and Italian troops in a multinational peace-keeping mission and specifically to oversee the evacuation of PLO forces. September 10: after evacuation of 8,000 Palestinian guerrillas, Marines left Beirut. September 29: 1,200 Marines returned following the September 16–18 massacre of Palestinian civilians in Beirut refugee camps. September 30: 1 Marine killed, 3 injured while accidentally detonating a bomb. November 11: 1 Marine wounded in a car bomb explosion. March 16, 1983: 5 Marines wounded in first grenade attack on U.S. peacekeepers. April 18: 63 people (including 1 Marine guard and 16 other Americans) killed in bombing of U.S. Embassy in Beirut. May 7–September 6: U.S. Navy and Marine encampments sporadically attacked by Druze and Christian militiamen fighting in the hills (24 wounded, 4 killed). September 8: U.S. frigate Bowen blasted militia artillery positions in response to firing on Marines. September 12: 3 Marines wounded by a rocket attack. September 18: following a shelling attack on Marines and U.S. ambassador’s residence, 2 Navy ships retaliated upon Syrian artillery positions. October 14–16: 2 Marines killed, 4 wounded in sniper fire and rocket-propelled grenade attack. October 23: 239(+) U.S. Marines and sailors killed by a suicide terrorist who drove an explosive-laden truck into a headquarters building full of sleeping Marines; minutes later in West Beirut, a second truck loaded with explosives crashed into a building housing French paratroopers, killing 58. According to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, the mission of the multinational force (joined by the British in February ’83) in Lebanon was to “stay until the government of Lebanon achieves sufficient stability to insure an independent, sovereign, unoccupied Lebanon.... We’re working on the diplomatic front to try to get a cease-fire and ... an agreement for the full withdrawal of all foreign forces—Israeli, Syrian, and Palestinian.”
