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

If you don’t see the emasculation of our males in the public schools and media-—gushing over males who dress like women and FORCING mature males to address the mentally ill man as a “She”. (And normalizing the irrational, evil behavior on our children.)

If you don’t understand the evil of Marxism—the dehumanization process of even removing Reason and Logic and sexual identity from mankind (the only thing which makes us “above” an animal.....and an Individual.....we need collectives-—everyone interchangeable—cogs in the machine. No unique identity-—just irrational, dysfunctional its.

It should be perfectly clear now-—that these are radical Marxists who are trying to destroy mature masculinity—because without it our culture will be FINISHED. NADA....DEAD.

Puerile MSM/ movies/ books-—all to destroy moral formation in boys and girls and reduce people to gushing emotional narcissistic, mentally-ill messes (like Jenner) who will cower in corners and pull the blinds.

Never in my wildest nightmares did I ever dream this country would fall so far so fast...

It is going to take a herculean effort and a lot of time to get back on the right course once we get rid of the vermin now in Washington....

I’m sure recruiting in civilian clothes will work out real well too.

These are Obama’s generals. The ones he allowed to remain after they kissed his...ahhh his ring. The real generals have been systematically purged out of the various branches. Its a typical dictators trick.

You ain't seen nuthin yet!!! My prized grandson just graduated from our neighborhood's Public School's (GovernMental Indoctrination Facility) Kindergarten class. One of the songs that the human children sang with the most enthusiasm and much wild gesticulation was "I'm an animal, your and animal too!"

Mrs Wasp almost had to physically restrain me from buzzing that stage and stingin the (BLEEP!) outa each one of those ungodly teachers and their school administrator!!! (and any school board members I could find)

Which President was the wunderkind behind the original idea of unarmed military recruiters? No matter. It is now clearly an idea that has outlived its usefulness. - Arm recruitment personnel. Sure. Something could happen. Something’s always going to happen. - Any recruit entering the center is going to be expecting to shortly be issued a gun themselves. No one with any common sense should bring kids into the center anyway. - Ned in the First Reader must be working at the Pentagon these days. - As for not trusting the military personnel at the recruitment centers, I’d as soon trust them as the ones on the Obama administration.
