This Colonel still has 5.5 months.

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'.....

So change the laws! Get an Executive order!

...."This is the same turd who is pushing women thru the Ranger Course."....

Well likely his wanna be Nancy Pelosi look alike wife has something to do with that....she has that 'liberal female look' so many known for....they do say behind every liberal man is a woman calling the shots

[mcshot]

Agree

[exit82]

Meanwhile, in Israel, troops in or out or uniform walk around in public with rifles slung.

No problem.

Time for Ray Odierno to retire.

He acts like the military cannot solve a problem, and an obvious one at that.

Yeah, and we cant pump our way out of an oil shortage. And we can’t cut taxes to leave more money in the hands of Americans and on and on and on...Funny how the left never wants to do the thing which will solve the problem.

“That rant over, guy must have been a pretty good shot 4 KIA from the parking lot...”

All four were killed at the second location, none at the recruitment center.

At the second location, the NOSC, we do not have details or pictures of how it went down.

Thanks...

Please take away this man’s weapon and the weapons of those surrounding him. Then we can begin to talk —about his placing the safety of troops below his ambition.

It is a form of indoctrination on our soldiers. Look at the difference...after defeating Germany, Patton rearmed the Wehrmacht to keep order in Germany and prepare to fight the Russians! In both Afghanistan and Iraq, we took away the guns causing the good guys to die. Our National Guard troops took guns away from homes in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina causing innocent families to be killed and raped by the savages. We are suicidal.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Your post is profound!

[Red in Blue PA]

This makes perfect sense.....in the BIZARRO WORLD!

[Political Junkie Too]

Congratulations and many thanks, Colonel.

Stonewall Jackson hanged deserters and rapists and collaborators in quick order

I imagine Ulysses Tecumseh did too

Should be tha fate of this bastard

Obama and his minions have killed many more lately than ANY FLAG

“Just think of the Islamophobia it might cause if they actually shot a terrorist.”

He NAILS it. Even this Administration does not want to see killings like this, but what they REALLY FEAR is all of the ramifications involved if our soldiers were allowed to be armed for self-defense. Questions like: “Was he ‘too quick’ on the trigger”, etc. Every ‘event’ is different, and, sadly, the easiest approach is to let a few good men drop, so as to avoid having to defend someone that may have been perceived (rightly or wrongly) as a bit too quick on the trigger.

But the BIG PROBLEM with that strategy is that Muslims now know that the SAFEST PLACE to attack US soldiers is right on US territory...not overseas or anywhere else, as they are likely armed there.

Just more of “our” ? military’s outrageous ROE. I hate these people.
