Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds”

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.’

Today the Pentagon added this– Military recruiters are being told to “close the blinds” for added safety.

Gretchen Carlson reported:

“ We have just confirmed here at FOX from the Pentagon, that the head of the US Northern Command has now issued a directive to authorize recruiters not to be able to carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office

Yeah, I read this morning (marinetimes.com) that instead of arming them, they will ask those working in the recruiting offices to just wear civilian clothes, no uniforms.

Well... you must have missed the 'fine print' where it says the recommended 'civilian attire' is a white pullover robe, a turban, and a beard.

(Just kidding, maybe)

Look for Americans who have gun permits to take up the slack to protect those who protect us.

This is a perfect opportunity for Americans to PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Veterans and civilians should surround all the recruitment centers in a mass demonstration to protect them.

(If they won't do it, we the people will.)

Oathkeepers and other volunteers are doing guard duty at some of the offices here in Colorado.

Positive development.

I’m surprised Washington hasn’t tried to say those offices are Federal territory and demand ban or arrest of anyone standing outside trying to protect them.

Odierno just declared open season on his own troops stationed at recruiting stations. Now any terrorist who wants to take a potshot at our troops knows exactly where to go. Odierno is nothing but an Obama shill and a danger to our troops.

Just set those recruiting centers up for another massacre. I predict soon. Might as well put a sign around their necks “come and shoot me”.

I am allowed to carry a weapon but our warriors are not. Whats wrong with that picture?

EXACTLY!

Signs:

Armed Americans, doing the job obama won’t do!

They’ll protect the mullahs, but they won’t protect our troops!

PROTECT OUR TROOPS

SELF DEFENSE IS A HUMAN RIGHT. TROOPS HAVE RIGHTS, TOO!

It needs to go much further than the oathkeepers.

We’re defending the troops that obama won’t!
