"Its SOP. Noone gets near a Cabinet officer with a weapon"

Since when? I have briefed two different SecNavs and I was armed to the teeth on both occasions. In 1968 I was assigned as a guard for LBJ when he met with the Marines being sent over to reinforce Khe Sanh. I was armed with a loaded M-14 and LBJ was in full view of me the whole time.

Since when are our leaders afraid of their own troops?

Since we got a bunch of Marxists in our government. They know what they would do were the situation reversed. The action speaks volumes about our present government.

Not all the MPs who were assigned during LBJ’s tour were fully armed...see my note #41

Since the Obama Administration was installed. And with good reason.

Obama and his backers are on the OPFOR side.
