As private citizens stand guard at military recruiting centers across the nation, the Army has released a warning to its personnel and recruits, stating that armed citizens should be treated as a “security threat”.
Travis Tritten of Stars & Stripes reports:
The Army has warned its recruiters to treat the gun-toting civilians gathering at centers across the country in the wake of the Chattanooga, Tenn., shooting as a security threat.
Soldiers should avoid anyone standing outside the recruiting centers attempting to offer protection and report them to local law enforcement and the command if they feel threatened, according to a U.S. Army Recruiting Command policy letter issued Monday.
“I’m sure the citizens mean well, but we cannot assume this in every case and we do not want to advocate this behavior,” according to the Army Command Operations Center-Security Division letter, which was authenticated by the service.
Recruiters were ordered not to interact or acknowledge the armed civilians, who have been greeted by a mix of concern, indifference and gratitude by the public.
“If questioned by these alleged concerned citizens, be polite, professional and terminate the conversation immediately and report the incident to local law enforcement …,” the command advised.
As the incidents crop up around the country, police could be asked to confront the civilians with guns on the Army’s behalf.
“Ensure your recruiters clearly articulate to local police the civilian may be armed and in possession of a conceal/carry permit,” it told the centers.
The command said recruiters should also immediately fill out an Army security report.

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.
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.
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.
“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.
You know that the left is praying (to Gaia or whatever) for an accident here.
There’s lots of good black people - vets - Republicans... traditional family members, Christians....
Let 'em defend themselves, then. They do such a good job. / sarc
The Military is now part of the Pretorian Guard.
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.
Armed Muslims = No Threat.
Armed Americans = Threat.
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.
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?
