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

The Commander in Chief absolutely has the power to order the military personnel at recruitment centers to be armed. Same for our gun-free bases.

But since our POSUS is an islamofascist puke who is actively trying to destroy America...

How much longer will we have a military if we don’t elect a conservative?

Some states are already ordering recruiters to carry arms.

Maybe Obama and all his gun control cronies would like to first get rid of their groups of armed guards that surround them 24/7...

“In addition, I suspect they will be shown the old “Duck & Cover” films from the 50s and run drills where they huddle under their desks???”

They already do that in “Active Shooter Training”.

We are at war, therefore EVERY military installation should be on a war footing with increased force protection security.

A young man or woman walks into a recruiting office and some guy in civilian clothes says “You’ll be making a good decision to join the army. But you will be told not to wear your uniform because it’s too dangerous and a muslim might kill you.”

Maybe our soldiers should be fighting in civilian clothes. That way the enemy won’t know they’re soldiers!

The Pentagon was bombed by al QAeda,
but now weaponizes it against America,
and demands that ISIS finish the job.

C’est fini.

"How can the justify this after they just lost 5 Service members?"

They don't have too. Every day brings us a new Obama Administration outrage. The last 1 1/2 years of Obama's term will see an increasing rush to tear down America and her citizenry and to cripple her as completely as possible. There will be big decisions (Iran) and little ones (diverting DOD maintenance funds) that will collectively collapse the country.

Also, defund and dis-establish the secret service, the commander in chief can always have the blinds pulled on the whitehouse.

Obama is still recovering from celebrating the 5 deaths by his Islamic brother on his weekend NYC trip.

Interpretation of the orders: sit there and be sitting ducks. Close the blinds so you can’t see the enemy coming. You are there to draw them out. Nothing to worry about. The government will ensure you get a decent burial...maybe. This is pathetic. They want them to fight overseas, but be defenseless at home.

Just exactly what my husband just said.

Boy, there’s a slogan I’d like to see the RNC use. “Dems say, ‘Close the Blinds’”
