The sentries on the USS Cole were under the same ROE.

Idiotic. I don’t go out of the house without one in the chamber.

Why don't we take all their weapons away and give them spit wad shooters and maybe rubber band guns if they can pass an extensive background check, drug test, IQ test, competency test and meet the minimum requirements to get on a ride at Disney?

Pure insanity!!! George Bush is a murderer for ordering troops to battle? This a@# clown willfully condones the death of US troops. F’em, F!*K all those at the Whitehouse, and the Pentagon that willfully conduct themselves in this manner.

This just makes the courageous restraint award that much easier to obtain.

My MP nephew in the NG told me that they carry the M9’s without a round in the chamber even though the first shot is a double action pull length.

With the current ROE I’d think they’d have plenty of time to lock and load before firing back.

If this is true, which I kind of doubt, I guarantee that it’s an order that is given with a wink-wink-nod-nod in the field.

I tried to warn others two years ago, it would not take long before the “progressives” would revert back to being themselves.

This story has a ring of truth.

Remember back during Restore Hope a situation where troops where guarding warehouses and standing post without rounds. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened at the barracks in Beirut.

My response would be, I’m happy to serve here, but I’m not going to do it without a weapon at the ready.

When you get serious, call me.
