So you really think 30,000 guys should be walking around a US Army post with loaded weapons? Why? You think 250,000 troops throughout the US should be armed? Why? You think all sailors aboard ship should be armed?
Yes.
Why?
It's their sworn duty to be armed and dangerous.
You think 250,000 troops throughout the US should be armed?
Yes.
Why?
Same reason as above. It's our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I expect military personnel to be especially trustworthy in that respect. I'm a pacifist, but I'm not stupid. If you cannot trust a soldier with a loaded gun, something is seriously wrong with either the soldier or the system or both.
Do you realize how helpless this incident makes our military look?
M-16/M-4 and a flip-flop,,,60 rounds,,,
No round in the chamber is the safe way to go,,,
Just like Guard Duty,,,
This country is a war-zone now,,,
I can't think of any reason that the Troops should not be
armed but the fear of guns by some people...
