If he was able to kill 3 and injure 14 then obviously and incredibly we still have military personnel walking around unarmed at Fort Hood and of course that will not be addressed. They will remain unarmed and the next guy with mental issues will shoot up the place because he will know nobody can shoot back. I mean think about this: This is ONE guy with a gun going against our MILITARY! Why the F aren’t they ARMED?
Because we can’t be trusted. It is criminal that federal facilities bar people trained in the effective and responsible use of weapons from carrying them on federal property.
Colonel, USAFR
The stupidity is even worse than you imagine. A friend of mine in the AF sent me a pic (couple of years ago now) of herself at Bagram. I noticed in the picture she had her sidearm in a shoulder holster and there was no magazine in it. Via a facebook exchange I asked her about it. Standing policy - weapons on base are unloaded. W ... T ... F !!! In a war zone, surrounded by valuable personnel and equipment they are basically unarmed and unready to defend these assets.
What, the libtards are going to say "that's security forces' job..." Duh, these people are in our Military - they all are "security forces" and had better be ready to act like it at a moments notice!
But they are too worried about Sergeant Smith shooting Sergeant Jones in a drunken jealous rage over some femme fatale. But being in the profession of arms our troops need to be armed. In fact, all troops E7 and higher should have to have a sidearm on their person at all times save PT and sometimes during PT>
Yes.
The real headline should be, "U.S. Army loses Second Battle of Fort Hood while inflicting no casualties on a suicidal enemy".
ONLY ARMED PEOPLE ARE AT THE GATES. 40 MM HAND GUN, LOTS OF CONCRETE BARRIERS AND THOSE $7 K SPEED BUMPS ALONG WITH THE TIRE PUNCTURE THINGS. THEY ARE NOW SCANNING ID CARDS FINALLY BUT RETIRED MILITARY HAVE NO AVAILABLE USE OF FRONT GATE THAT REQUIRES A CODE.
OUR TROOPS ARE OVER DEPLOYED, OVER WORKED, UNDER PAID, AND BEING SCREWED BY CONGRESS.

TRICARE LIFE Retired Military over 65 just received this noticed 2 weeks ago, takes effect 4/14/2014, why they sent a prelim with out the drug list is WASTEFUL spending in itself!
DOD MANDATE is forcing us to use either Base whose drugs are limited by size of base and is not wheel chair or handicap friendly or Express Scripts MANDATED Tricare Life. starts next month. 4/14/14, still have not got the formulary, waste to do 2 send outs. Express Scripts is a sorry excuse of a provider. You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. All thrown up on your porch for the local thieves and meth makers to steal.
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PHARMACY THANKS TO NEW DOD BUDGET!
This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.
1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.
2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5
3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.
If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.
If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.

Starting Oct. 1, the Pentagon plans to reduce Tricare Prime service areas to within a 40-mile radius of active or former military installations, forcing 173,000 retirees and their family members to switch to Tricare Standard or seek a waiver if they live within 100 miles of an existing network.
The decision will affect retirees and their dependents in Prime, and those on Tricare Young Adult Prime. That totals 98,771 people in the Tricare South
