If the examples cited in the article are true, I am more than just worried.
Is there no end to the damage that the foolishness of the last 8 years has done?

Sad but true. Someone remotely piloting a Predator has to ask "Mother may I?" before shooting the very person he was looking for! Try that playing a stupid video game like Quake and see how long you last. Children could come up with a better policy.

Bush needs to rectify this now.
Otherwise, I guess we armed civilians better get our hides out to stand our own sentry duty and protect our military.Note to the PC crowd: If you think you are going to leave our communities defenseless, you need to take more of your medication.

Do you think Rumsfeld knows about this? Should we blitz congress with emails about this?

Former anti-gun folks here.
We take our first shooting lessons tomorrow and it took a week to get an appointment. Former pc friends doing the same.
This is not "middle-age" crazy. We have simply learned our lesson.

This article is another bullet in my argument that we will be serious about "homeland security" when lethal force is authorized.
That Mrs. Clinton revealed the weakness is hardly reason to yank my previous comment. Though I am pleased that someone noticed it. To eliminate misunderstandings of what is considered "violence, racism or personal attacks" perhaps the offending comment could be marked with editorial notes and left in my self-search file.

Another sad but basically true commentary by Hackworth. Even in the early 1980's I saw some of these traits starting to pop up. When we had guard mount, the NCO's were not trusted to conduct it, the staff duty officer did it. The reason - the depot commander did not trust the sergeants, the battalion commander did not trust the depot commanders and the brigade commander did not trust the battalion commanders. The guards were not issued ammunition until after the guard mount was conducted and they were going to their posts.
