Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds”

Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly.

Also on Friday, the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work for ‘force protection.’

Today the Pentagon added this– Military recruiters are being told to “close the blinds” for added safety.

Gretchen Carlson reported:

“ We have just confirmed here at FOX from the Pentagon, that the head of the US Northern Command has now issued a directive to authorize recruiters not to be able to carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office

Disgraceful. Maybe our military will be ordered to do their work cowered behind their desks.

Alright!!!!!!!
Yep, closing the blinds will do the trick...And not wearing uniforms is pure genius!!!!!
Hey...I know something else...Remove any signs that say it’s a military recruiting center...Put up a sign that says “CLOSED”

That will eliminate all danger...

If the Pentagon brass was as exposed as the recruiters, they’d see the light real fast.

I knew they were going to do it.

The Feds CANNOT admit that ANYONE carry a handgun makes them or people around them safer. The NANOSECOND they admit they, the entire "gun control" edifice falls. Therefore, they will never admit it, no matter how many soldiers die from jihad attacks.

My advice is: leave the military, and convince everyone you know that is in the military to leave it. America is going to fall soon anyway.

And what kind of individuals will be attracted to enlist in this type of military? The armed national guard representatives in some of the red states project a better image.

Yeah, I read this morning (marinetimes.com) that instead of arming them, they will ask those working in the recruiting offices to just wear civilian clothes, no uniforms.

WTF

Sadly, I was not surprised by these decisions.

They’ve just condemned more of their own to “gun free zone” shooting opportunists.

Because, a college campus, movie theater, shopping mall is so yesterday’s mass killing scene.

Governors need to order the national guard in their states to guard these centers in order to protect their citizens.
