I know my Step Father carried in the early 90s at his reserve station during desert storm, in fact was advised to by command. Not sure when the rule requiring disarmament was issued but I would guess sometime under Clinton.

This is terrible. It will create a hostile working environment and make the fabulous gay troops feel uncomfortable. < / sarcasm >

When you are a Dictator wannabe, you do not trust your military. Even now, the military does not have ammo on base. If there is a live fire training exercise, the ammo is brought in from off base, and every round is accounted for. They have to return the spent brass, as well as all unfired ammo.

Why am I reminded of the movie, Dogs Of War? Remember when, in his briefing, Walken said that the dictator doesn't trust his soldiers?

Now, that wouldn't be obummer, would it?
