Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly.
Also on Friday, the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work for ‘force protection.’

Odierno made his comments at a breakfast with reporters, according to the AP.
“”Security at military recruiting and reserve centers will be reviewed in the aftermath of the deadly shooting in Tennessee, but it’s too early to say whether the facilities should have security guards or other increased protection, the Army’s top officer said Friday.
“A day after a gunman shot and killed four Marines and wounded three other people in Chattanooga, Gen. Ray Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, told reporters that arming troops in those offices could cause more problems than it might solve.
“”I think we have to be careful about over-arming ourselves, and I’m not talking about where you end up attacking each other,” Odierno said during a morning breakfast. Instead, he said, it’s more about “accidental discharges and everything else that goes along with having weapons that are loaded that causes injuries.””
…”In the wake of previous shootings at military facilities, the services have reviewed and strengthened security precautions at the centers. But most of those involve safety precautions and the need to be aware and watchful of surroundings.
“Odierno said that there are currently no plans to have security personnel posted at recruiting centers, but added that there will be a review. He said a notice went out Thursday to all Army locations reminding them of protection measures.”
On Friday evening ABC News Pentagon reporter Luis Martinez reported on Twitter the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work.

They could always lock the doors and hide under their desks. /spit
Not in OK! The Okla. Governor told them to arm themselves at all military facilities.
I looked him up on wikipedia. Impressive education and career. I can only imagine his talking points come from Valerie.
Oh, yeah, this is going to help, because clearly the islamists wouldn’t kill civilians in a military installation.
We need a total General Officer purge.
Unfreakinbelievable!
I cannot look at his face. He is our best and brightest. And dying in the vanity of the chief of staff doubling down in stupid Obama worship
This crap is getting rediculous.
Somedays I think half of Americans are mind controlled pod people
I would neither man such a location or place myself at risk by going to such a location for any reason.
It’s time to reject Mass Murder Zones.
Odierno. What kind of name is that? Don’t we have any regular Americans left in our armed forces?
Foxtrot uniform, Odierno. You are not fit to wear the uniform.
marines = Marines, that is
We are on our own. Not only are they not defending us, they are importing the enemy into our neighborhoods and preventing our troops from even defending themselves. DC must go.

By this BASTARD'S logic, he trusts some armed rent-a-cop more than the military to carry loaded weapons.
Traitor.
Stinking Traitor.
“We need a total General Officer purge.”
Clinton already did that.
No MacArthur, no Patton, no Nimitz could survive in today’s fagged-up military.
“The man should be fired.”
And his boss...all of those POS’s in the chain of command above him!
Not wear your uniforms??
