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?

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.

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

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.

I had to purchase my own handgun 92sf Beretta and an armalite ar just so I could improve my qualifying score for promotion. We only shoot once a year for qualification and never practice during the year to improve skills. The stated reason is usually lack of funding.

SMILE when you go through the airport you might see me Guarding it today.

Where did this order come from and when did it get implemented? I have read an amazing amount of unbelievably ludicrous things but this one takes the cake. How in God's name can you expect troops to defend when they are holding what amounts to a water pistol without it being loaded?

"Will it take another USS Cole disaster before we allow the troops to lock and load?" Hack has a way with the language doesn't he? I wonder if it will take another WTC/Pentagon mass murdering before our news media and elected officials will give Hack and others like him the air time to educate our fellow citizens that we are in a life and death struggle and nothing short of total victory will do.

Just ask the Marine guard in Lebanon in 1983 who didn't shoot fast enough when a kamikaze driver rammed his terror truck through the gate.The explosives in that truck were provided by that great humanitarian and blood doner, Arafat.

This article is correct. As a 19+ year veteran of the Navy, I have stood the OOD watch in many foreign ports protected by a POOW with an unloaded gun. I am retiring soon and will be glad to get out of Uncle Sam's canoe club so I can once again have my guns in my possession. Since I live on base, I must surrender all of my personal firearms to the authorities for safekeeping, or store them off base.
Back in the '80, when I was assigned to the Security Department of a large Southern California Navy base, we patrolled the base with unloaded weapons. I can remember responding to an armed robbery of the base gas station, driving through traffic and loading my gun at the same time. The official procedure was to load the gun once you were on the scene, and then only when threatened. The hell with that!

What about all of these troops guarding the airports? Are they standing around with a glorified club in their hands?

We really ought to be looking at the Swiss Army as a model. The average male citizen gets more live fire experience during training exercises and on civilian firing ranges in an average year than most of our guys in uniform do in their entire military careers.

My son guarded American Army ordnance and artillery in Germany just before the Gulf War.
Guarded with an unloaded rifle.
Forget not having "one in the chamber...", he didn't have any ammunition on him either.
