Nice to see the NYT gets it right once in a while.

Kudos to Sgt. Kimberly Denise Munley.

Anyone know why it took well over 5 minutes for someone to shoot at the terrorist, on the largest Army base in the world? And then to be stopped by an off duty female civilian?

I’m surprised the Slimes covered this aspect of the massacre. I’m surprised they are implying that Munley is a hero. After all, she (and maybe also her partner) shot a MUSLIM. And that’s the most coveted of politically correct groups in the WORLD.

I wonder if the writer will keep his job.

Use your head razzle. Stop trying to stir up trouble, I'm sick of seeing your comment (by you or others) on every thread about this woman.

You want to start a 2A thread, then do it and stop crapping all over anything that will make people feel a little good abour this horrific situation.

Generally, there are not loaded weapons on base except for those of the guards who are normally at the gates.

If I were wealthy, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to bear the expense of plastering Sgt. Munley’s photo in uniform and story on every wall surface in the Muslim world.

Not just a ROP member but one with mental problems and pre-post traumatic stress disorder. She should have said Allahu Akbar to distract him then sit down and pray with him until trained politically correct forces could study the situation in a sensitive and nuanced manner.

Use your head dude. Would the NYT get so excited, as they did, if a white male took out this creep?

One would think that an Army base would have firearms all over the place but I can tell you from my time in the Army that this is not so. The MPs are the only ones that are armed on post. The only times a civilian is armed on post is when they are part of a civilian police force augmenting the MPs. I had my own personal sidearm stored in the arms room when living in the barracks. When my units went to qualify at the range we signed out our weapons from the arms room but were not issued any ammo until we were at the range. The only time I ever carried a loaded weapon was during Desert Storm.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with these Military installations, their make-up and purpose.

Unlike a "Fort" or Camp being used as an operational base in a war zone or nearby areas for staging, these posts are small cities for troops and their families to train and live normal lives.

While there is security at the perimeter, the fort itself is housing, schools, stores, classrooms, hospitals and more remote trainig areas.

It hasn't been necessary to be under-arms except in paymaster duties and similar functions liable to interferance.

Like most of use, when our military is not deployed, it doesn't "carry" as a matter of course when at the classroom, takinng the kids to ball practice or filling out paperwork at the "main office".

It took five minutes for this very brave woman to respond.

As the saying goes....”When seconds counts, help is minutes away.”

In this situation, for many people the “what ifs” in regards to your observation are not important or worth bringing up.

They wrote a very comprehensive article - describing her, naming her closest relatives and her current and intended homes. In simpler days it would be considered a good write-up. In today’s world -——

Any agenda in being so thorough????

No I am not saying female cops are inferior. I've seen Sigorney Weaver and Angeline Jolie many times kill all the bad guys and save the country and the planet.

Let us hope this same headline can be used about Michelle Bachmann at the end of the day.

“Any agenda in being so thorough?”
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Consider that as a ‘group’ the M World was ‘looking’ for S. Rasheed (sp) for writing a book, condemned a newspaper and cartoonist for a cartoon etc...
Makes it easier to find if the ‘reports’ list the names and addresses of the people involved (only on the good guy side) by the way, the perps etal have rights, the law abiding apparently not when it comes to privacy...

We sure made a wrong turn somewhere on this journey....
