Again, caving into the nice Muslims instead of going on the offensive. If they think this is going to make them less radical, they’re wrong. Signs of weakness just encourage them.

Some call it caving and some call it protecting the troops in what is inherently a non-combat arena. Unless they arm all the troops and allow them to carry while in uniform (not a usual habit) and consider a weapon to be part of the uniform, it is best to keep a low profile.

ROE are bad enough in active combat zones - can you imagine the fallout if troops who normally don't carry arms (almost seems oxymoronic) start shooting up the town?

Hey, that would make a good argument against concealed carry! /s

I realize your point, but if someone in the military can't wear their uniform proudly in their own country, something is wrong. The solution is obviously to find and kick out the Muslims who disdain the country they've chosen to live in. Send them back to their place of origin.
