Again, I didn’t take into account that your second hand military experience flies in the face of everything anyone else knows. My poor experience of decades bows to your greater knowledge of step daddy’s service.

Everyone else? Really? And who is your “everyone else”?

You have stated base procedures, which I have never debated or denied. I have only stated the observation that my time in clinics on various marine bases around the country I can’t recall being in one where an armed MP wasn’t on the grounds for one reason or another.

You seem to take this as some sort of personal assault, that I dare make such a statement.

You certainly haven’t offered any “others” to state that non base procedures at soft targets at times of war are or were the same as on base procedures.

Bases have a perimeter, keep the parimeter protected and the presumption is the interior is as safe as it can get. Recruitment centers are literally office, someones in shared buildings, sometimes dedicated buildings. The one in particular that I provided you is actually right on a major road, and beside an urban university campus, and down the street from another that have thousands of foreign students. I can’t tell you if folks in those offices are wearing sidearms today, because I haven’t been in there in a long long time, I can only tell folks were at that time. Personally I hope folks that work in those offices daily are indeed carrying because unlike the PC nonsense that says otherwise, they are a nice soft target for Ahmed if he decides to go for it.

I haven’t denied a single fact you have bothered to offer, I have only stated what my personal experience has been, yet you continue to act as though what you “know” undermines my experiences, and I must be making them out of whole cloth.

Attempts at mockery while they may make you feel better, don’t bolster your argument in the least, nor do they invalidate mine. Its clear you know what you don’t know.. or at least think you do, so further conversation is pointless.
