That’s a before picture.
I want to see an after.
POS.
The King of Saud should be ashamed.Sending that POS here. I heard on Fox News that the Navy relied on a Saudi Security check, not doing their own. WTF is THAT about?
The Obama rot must run deep in the Navy. They have been effing up at the Pentagon ( Gallagher), in the Pacific ( collisions), and now in both Pearl harbor( The sailor should not have had access to his weapons while under disciplinary procedure) and Pensacola. The USN needs some kind of overhaul.
Heard someone suggest authorities should donate the bodies of such terrorists to hog farms in the area (hog feed), so their “sacrifice” can at least serve some purpose.

Why are we training foreign students at our military bases and academies?
Back in the early 70’s we were training Iranian pilots at our military bases.
In the late 80’s, I went through basic Morse code training at NTTC Pensacola (now CID Pensacola, I believe), and there were Iraqi military personnel on base.
I don’t think it’s a good idea, period, but I don’t make policy.
Its included in the weapons sales I think.
I heard today, only MPs are allowed to have weapons on the base, otherwise forbidden.
Now add to that a Saudi national who obtained and smuggled the weapon onto the base.
I doubt we’ll ever know what happened.
Just like that woman who boarded a Delta flight in Orlando with no ticket or ID.

Sure there’s the odd muslim (who really doesn’t believe in islam much) who is in the military and does OK but it goes back to is it worth it?
The answer is likely no.
muslims are unique in that the next generation seems to be MORE radical than the parents.
It is often part and parcel with our defense equipment sales contracts. They buy our jets, we train them how to fly and maintain them.
There fixed it.
I think that’s a very good question. And if there is a strategic reason, such as being part of a treaty, then are we being fully compensated? And I mean “fully”.
Young,male, hairy, dark, from the Mideast. Duh......
Typical happy go luck......err go jihad insane type.
They are “allies”.
We do it so that we have leverage over them.
You might want to narrow down that question to certain countries as I was a foreign military officer who received training at an American base.
I don’t get it.
Why is Wray still employed?
I believe he had the best motivation a person could have; God wanted him to do it. - Tom
Soldiers don’t have access to guns, they are unarmed on base.
He flew over it.
He probably smuggled it in.
