Marines I am related to had an unwritten rule in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Locals” were ALWAYS shadowed from behind.

Better to be safe than sorry.

We are not going to stop training them. Too many politicians have money to gain by our selling aircraft to the mooselimbs.

Heck, if a politician could make a buck, I bet he’d sell them bullets to shoot at our soldiers.

This sounds like a horrible idea but we know China and Russia have a disliking of Muslims. Maybe we could work with our two adversaries to secretly get rid of them all and also become friends at the same time. Win win , prob the only way to world peace .

Ground them? Why not just deport them and have done with it?

“Heck, if a politician could make a buck, I bet he’d sell them bullets to shoot at our soldiers.”

Which is why the penalty for treason should be death or non-parolable prison for life. The stakes are way too high to do otherwise.

Why is a half battalion of muslim soldiers here?

We sell them the planes and train them to fly them.

I don’t care if he acted alone or not.

I believe it is impossible to have sufficient assurances when it comes to vetting anyone from Saudi Arabia not here as part of the government’s official mission.

I think that among the clerics in Saudi Arabia, and among the masses in society in general there is sufficient call for the beliefs voiced by the terrorists who acted in the Pensacola incident, regardless of whatever the state-to-state relations with Saudi Arabia have been or are today.

We only need to remember that almost twenty years ago we were on good state-to-state relations with Saudi Arabia and yet it is from Saudi Arabia that most of the 9/11 terrorists came from. Clearly no matter what has happened in our state-to-state relations something in Saudi society was terrible wrong then, and still is.

The 175 Saudis that are grounded should be sent home.

Send these 175 guys to land mine testing field. Tell them it’s part of the program.

A ‘safety stand-down’ - Are they kidding? The same thing they do when there’s an accident? A polygraph test should be administered to each foreign military member at every base in the US; anyone opting out gets a free ride to Djibouti.

I know how the Navy treats security stateside - it’s a joke. Four years after 9/11, we were informed at a conference that none of the contracted cleaning crews for Navy recruiting commands had been vetted (and many spoke no English). We were told it would be five years before that happened because new contracts had already been signed. I’ll bet it still hasn’t happened. At the same time we were getting weekly intel warnings about all those commands being soft targets. That’s when a lot of folks I know started carrying - and it paid off for the CO in Chattanooga.

Innocent people are dying to placate the leftwing fantasy that muslims are just like us.
