The Army reps saying this stuff are the ones that Obama has promoted to positions of authority, replacing the patriots that he has discharged... it is the Obamabots who are the security threat... they must be relieved from duty. Mutiny is just when tyrants pirate the ship...

But ø trusts Iran with nuclear weapons research.

” We don't want to arm our recruiters or have any armed security at recruiting centers” stated U.S. Army Captain Lonnie Lightloafer Pentagon spokesperson. He further added “Having weapons displayed and readily available not only sends the wrong message about todays military but also having our installations being guarding by armed civilians can only fuel a gun culture which has had tragic results for our society. We also feel having armed security would be detrimental to our core mission of reaching out to diverse populations and adding them to the vibrant mosaic that is todays military.”

The AR has an optical sight. The bolts don’t lock back on AK’s.

I can see the optical (I think). I have Eotech holo’s on my AR’s - before the boating accident. HOW does the rear optical see through the front fixed iron sight?

And buy the man a two-point sling!

The black gentleman’s carbine doesn’t appear to be an AK. (but I don’t recognize the rifle)

The Armed Forces have not lost their mind. They have been purged of people who won’t adhere to Bam Bams agenda.

Obama’s yes men are now running the Army.

He can always call up everyone who was dismissed just short of retirement and anyone else he wants who served within 5 years, I think.

The current administration is having us invaded quietly through immigration. No need for Russia or China to worry about getting their boots here.

[Blueflag]

The question becomes, would these strutting peacocks actually join a fight, or just call in orders to ‘real’ troops?

Can’t imagine many 3 stripe NCOs actually acting on orders to fight American citizens.

[driftdiver]

“Can’t imagine many 3 stripe NCOs actually acting on orders to fight American citizens.”

I hope you’re right but human history shows that many will. After all they won’t be fighting “Americans”. They will be fighting drug dealers, weapon dealers, domestic terrorists or anti-govt radicals.

[The Antiyuppie]

You know that the left is praying (to Gaia or whatever) for an accident here.

[GOPJ]

There’s lots of good black people - vets - Republicans... traditional family members, Christians....

[Sans-Culotte]

Prior Service troops guarding active duty troops, and the US Army calls them threat? The world has gone mad.

Let 'em defend themselves, then. They do such a good job. / sarc

[Savage Beast]

The Military is now part of the Pretorian Guard.

[RobinOfKingston]

Security threat, huh? Not to mention embarrassing that civilians wind up protecting the military that obastard won’t allow to protect themselves.

Personally, I think it’s that ‘embarrassing’ part that gets ‘em.

[CodeToad]

Armed Muslims = No Threat.
Armed Americans = Threat.

[pfflier]

I can't wait for the navy to relieve and prosecute the commander of the naval reserve facility for defending his troops with a personal handgun. To the navy, that is "a toxic leadership atmosphere".

Likewise one of the dead Marines also fired back. Along with his Purple Heart, he should be awarded at least a Bronze Star with V device for valor in face of an enemy. Instead he will be criticized for breaking the rules and having his personal weapon in an official US Government gun free zone.

You know, I’ve always yelled at the TV when the “poll” shows that Americans don’t want to go to war...
We don’t want to go to war under THIS president and these ROEs...We want to WIN....sheesh.

[matginzac]

Well, SOMEONE has who’s calling the shots...
And if the military just follows orders, you can bet who...
And how did “just following orders” work out at Nuremberg?

I hope I did this link-thing correctly:
