I have a son that is an Officer in the Air Force in Afghanistan right now. I just ASSUMED when he was there that he would be carrying a sidearm. Now I am not so sure and I know he won't answer me if I question him.

This is an outrage.
All American servicemen and women either overseas or serving on bases here at home should be required to wear sidearms and have automatic handguns at the ready and receive training on how to use them and make sure they are tested regularly to ensure it.
To: macquire
This is quite common, depending on which post you’re in. This explains a lot. Even with ammo handy, they were no doubt ambushed and gunned down by their “trusted student” before they had a chance to load.

Maybe the same rules should apply to the Secret Service surrounding Stroker.
No loaded weapons allowed.

Obama has to go and he needs to be made responsible for these deaths.

this should be a non-negotiable - loaded weapons or just get the hell out...let the Afgans and Taliban shoot each other...
To: macquire
I also have an Air Force son who is currently serving in Afghanistan, and am outraged at the ‘Rules of Engagement’ that put our brave men and women at an extreme disadvantage during deployment.
Fight the damned war, or get out! Quit bending over backwards and kissing Arab ass.

Unloaded weapons is a nonnegotiable requirement for Tingle Barry's gay military plans.
Otherwise Brucie might get reflexively shot when he gropes some young troop.

We had patrols in our company area in Cu Chi Viet Nam abound the time of TET 1968. One guy was high and almost shot another guy by accident so they decided to have us carry M14’s without ammo and the first and last guy had 12 ga. riot guns with 5 rounds each. At least I had the 12 ga.

Two rules, dhimmis.
American soldiers must never hurt or insult OUR people.
And when OUR people graduate to American-killing 'terrorists'
only then are they entitled to American taxpayer-paid lawyers ( 1, 2, 3, 4),
and, of course, American citizenship."

Shades of Beirut, where the Marine guards on duty had no magazines loaded when the big truck bomb drove past them and into the BLT HQ.
PC kills. When will a general resign over these outrages?
Or do their stars always trump the welfare of their troops?

Have any of you heard this before? I am outraged.
In VEEEETNAM it was also a policy to disarm American troops if they were to be around any high ranking Pols,ie; senators, congresscritters, presidents etc.. Only the "Palace Guard" could be armed and even then they were watched by others. Its the way of life if you are a despot.

IF this can be verified as factual, some heads need to roll, begining with that PC, Multiculturalist, "Hearts and Minds" A-Hole (and soon to be CIA, DCI, God forbid) who has embraced and enforced these assinine and dangersous ROE's.
This can NOT be allowed to be swept under the carpet and if (when) the families of the KIA's get ahold of this, I doubt if it will.
Bring em' all home and bring em' home NOW!!!

They still should have rushed the Muslim killer who was obviously inspired by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
They better be able to carry loaded sidearms now.

Bring all the troops home NOW, or remove Zero from office, indict him as a foreign agent, convict him and give him the usual punishment for spies.
