I was friends with a guy who served in the detail assigned to guard the American Embassy in Russia as a member of the... I want to say it was the Marines? Dude routinely complained about what a shitty job it was, how poorly he was paid, how obnoxious the bureaucracy was, how just kinda there he was for most of the rotation.
The idea that he's going to rally to the defense of an embattled US Government because someone in Portland throws a petro-bomb at the mayor's house is crazy. He's not invested in this shit any more than he's invested in his current day job.

Yeah, typically embassy guards from the military are Marines.
