Some troops are armed with handguns or rifles. The military only allows troops to use force “as a last resort and solely in response to an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm,” according to the joint task force.


Some are armed, some are not. Being armed doesn’t not always protect you from terrorism. such as this case.
