What do you bet the government will recommend that soldiers it's training to kill the enemy should be armed?

The very idea that people we trust to work in teams to kill the enemy with advanced weapons cannot be trusted to wear a sidearm on base is beyond me.

It’s a Clinton era policy that should have been repealed under G.W. Bush. Maybe the next American President will address this.
