The Tennessean reports that Abdulazeez pulled in front of a recruiting location, shared by various military branches, and shot holes through the “doors and glass… [of] the… Air Force, Navy and Marine offices.” He allegedly did this while sitting in his car.
Ironically, one of the earliest post-attack photos of the recruiting center shows shattered glass and bullet holes by the very sign that designated the office a gun free zone.
But don't get any ideas about actually arming our people.
The Army's top officer says security at military recruiting and reserve centers will be reviewed, but it's too early to say whether the facilities should have security guards or other increased protection.
Gen. Ray Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, told reporters Friday that arming troops in those offices could cause more problems than it might solve.
Odierno said there are legal issues involved in allowing troops at the centers to carry guns.
Just think of the Islamophobia it might cause if they actually shot a terrorist.
It's too early to say whether a pattern of Muslim terrorist attacks aimed at recruiting centers requires action. But the gun-free recruiting center is certainly an ad for a modern military in which soldiers aren't allowed to defend themselves against Muslim terrorism.

Does anyone remember McNamara’s 100,000?
The military has been used as a liberal test tube for many years.
In many cases, standards have been lowered to allow the unqualified to advance.
The stress on modern military people is getting worse every day.
How about local areas with strip mall type Military Facilities (including VA) have VOLUNTEERS from local gun clubs/organizations/ etc sit in front of the door - ARMED - sort of like a militia type movement.
Of course we know the Recruiter will ‘shoo’ us away but how long before the Local and FED cops set upon the properly licensed, perfectly legal ‘watchmen’?
We could probably do the same at schools except ‘they’ have already established no guns...THAT will keep US out, but the shooters must be immune since the signs don’t ‘bother’ them..
That rant over, guy must have been a pretty good shot 4 KIA from the parking lot...
Unless, of course, the 4 had stepped out for a smoke,which also is illegal in the building...
Used to hear of bunch of people placed face down in a freezer ALL shot in back of head...
Now - Unless I am #1 — in order to shoot me in the back of the head there will have to be a foot print on my back or indications I was slugged to keep me down. First shot, game over - you may end up shooting me in the face or - like I said- footprint on back...
I guess that proves what one is required to say and do in order to be appointed Chief of Staff by Obama.
He should be fired.
Today.
So we need to hire private para-military security firms to guard military bases, because some of the people assigned to the military bases, who are entrusted with some of the most violent weaponry known to man, can’t be trusted with weapons and there may be accountability/inventory issues? Houston, we have a problem...
He’s a politician and not a fighting man - he’s anticipating what boss in Washington would want him to say
i tried looking that directive up and couldn’t find it. found this: http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/DoD_Directive_5210.50
do you have a link?
nevermind. I found it. it’s actually “5210.56”
Worse yet, the terrorists may die before they can murder their way to heaven.
Uncle Fester strikes again. This is the same turd who is pushing women thru the Ranger Course.
F U Odierno.. Marines are dead. FT. Hood was a slaughter of Army members.. What the hell are you drinking Odierno?
Let the current CIC Lead by Example, send his big eared buffoon ass, along with his family without SS or any protection what so ever
Support the troops, general.
If they refuse to let the military men defend themselves, the least they can do is station armed military police or armed security guards at the facilities. But they won’t as Obama despises the military. And on the day four marines were slaughtered by a Muslim, Obama was busy celebrating Ramadan with his Muslim comrades.
Here is what the Democrat proposal will be.
Hire unionized government employees who will vote Democrat.
What a disappointment Odierno is. He came in as big tough guy, no nonsense military guy, when in fact he is nothing more than an Obama whore puppet.
If this jerk is reflective of the leadership we have in the military today, we are so screwed.
Not yet, I don’t retire for 5.5 months.
