Even Chavez and Castro feel free to be in the presence of armed men.
Of course they run hard core Marxists dictatorships.
Panetta, in contrast, is just a punk.

A man afraid of this own troops, for any reason, is not the man to lead the troops.

I remember that. Odd that leftist CIC's and their subalterns demand safety from the freemen sworn to uphold the Constitution and obedience to their CIC.

This is the topic of a thread at Hot Air and a poster recommended anyone who wants vet feedback to go to Free Republic because the vets are legit here...
amen to that!

“I dont know about the rest of you, but being surrounded by a group of armed Marines is the safest feeling in the world.”
You got that right.

Imagine what would have happened if some Afghan soldiers came in and started shooting.

Imagine what would have happened if some Afghan soldiers came in and started shooting.No big deal..."O" would just have to find another "Lackey" to fill the slot. Lot of them in D.C., so it wouldn't be hard.

Leon Panetta is doing as Barack Obama wishes, disarming our Marines on the enemies soil.....it doesn't matter for how long it matters that the request was made at all.
Major General Mark Gurganus later said he gave the order because Afghan troops attending the talk were unarmed and he wanted the policy to be consistent for all. The General is not being truthful, he is playing politics.
(attack on Panetta's plane) ....and our Marines were asked to
lay down their arms?

They did not want to take a chance of one of our Afghan “friends” taking a shot at the secretary so they disarmed everybody....
To: PowderMonkey
These soldiers look like they would rather be eating a bar of soap rather than escorting Panchetta around.

I’m surprised the spineless Panetta even showed his face.
