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

I wonder what kind of ammo those geniuses at the Pentagon thinks blinds stop.
Sure am glad the American voter showed such courage as to elect lesser evils to lead the house and senate to work with Obama.
Thanks.
Oh did I say courage? I think the legal term is “Depraved Indifference” since we have dead soldiers because of it.
I’ve been putting out fire
With gasoline
See these eyes so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It’s been so long
—David Bowie (Cat People)
So now our own military now has orders to cower behind closed blinds in our own country.
Maybe electing a foreign agent as president wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Those civilian pinheads at the Pentagon are safe at layers of security, have you ever tried to get into the Pentagon recently? And, their mothers tuck them safely into their little beds every night.
I wonder who sells Blinds made of Kevlar?
This is what subjucation to terror looks like.
Waiting for the MSM expose on the admin’s failure to provide up-armored blinds for our personnel.
You know, you seem to be the Westboro Baptist Church of FR.
I put it plainly to you as a question what your proposed improvement was, and you just got really cutesy acting “awesome” as you believe yourself to be.
The status quo stinks. Damning everything stinks worse.
Not gonna be good for morale for our proud Marine/Navy/Airforce/Coast Guard and other military personnel to be huddled behind the blinds wondering if and when the glass will be shattered with another barrage by another MAD MUSLIM COWARD!!!
At some point people will get a clue that any efficacious answer is found in the supernatural dimension.
Of course some people will keep their eyes solidly on earth and miss that.
You can be assured that asshole Odiniero has armed guards around him at all times and rides around in black SUV’s with armor plate and bulletproof glass and front and rear armored cars as well.
It is unconstitutional.
You have a right to self defense.
It is an illegal order.
Eyes Wide Shut.
Kinda made me "duck and cover" if ya knows what I means. (grin)
Let me get this straight.....a wacko job shoots up 9 black people in a church, and there is an outcry to ban the Confederate flag? That darned flag is to blame. Our military loses 5 brave men, and are told to close the blinds. Got it!! Those darned blinds are at fault. That’s my rationale from comparing the 2 events. Time to ban blinds!!!
