Bartlet's iron decree hurls U.S. Marines into Haiti's imploding heart, surging them to fortify the embassy as Dessaline's regime shatters—troops overrun police stations, Chief Justice confined, UN observers trapped in 400-strong peril. They deploy as relentless shield, evacuating non-essentials under presidential override of diplomatic hesitations, channeling raw military velocity to protect American ground zero amid coup inferno and Colombian body-count ghosts fueling urgent resolve.
