I never like to be reactionary and follow anything that may just be hyperbole or conspiracy theory. That’s why I held off on addressing this issue until I got confirmation — which came Friday afternoon via text message.
There are things which make you just upset, like the liberal progressive left and media accomplices’ rage over the shooting of a lion in Africa but abject disregard and disdain reference Planned Parenthood dismembering babies and selling their body parts.
But this story has me dog fighting mad and seriously pissed off.
As reported ten days ago by Western Journalism, “A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred. At the time, Western Journalism wrote, Lt. Cmdr. White could face disciplinary action for violating policy about possessing a weapon on the facility that was supposedly a gun-free zone. The investigation into the attack is ongoing, and authorities will not know if White or the Marine hit the shooter until an autopsy and a ballistics report have been completed. Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.

The text message asked if it would be possible for Lt.Cmdr White to reach out to me. To wit I replied, affirmative.
What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces — pardon me, our “unArmed Forces”? What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center? Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors. Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf. But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack. I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.
Folks, this has become the Obama military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected — but will punish them if they do protect themselves. What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz? What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform — especially the commanders — are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?
Ponder this, Obama will pardon drug dealers, but men who fight the enemy are imprisoned? Now, can someone, any one of you inane characterless liberal progressive trolls explain that to me? Explain it to us that you would rather have had more Sailors and Marines die than for this Navy Commander to draw his personal weapon in defense of his command. That’s what the Naval Support Center was for Lt. Cmdr White — his responsibility to defend, protect.
One more reason ALL the traitors must GO. Cuba, Venezuala, whatever socialist hellhole they want but they all have to go. Some once they finish their prison sentence.
Here’s what needs to happen. Flood the phone of SecNav Ray Mabus and SecDef Carter and ask them whose side they’re. Demand the charges being brought against Lt.Cmdr White be immediately dropped. If those charges are not dropped, I will personally lead the charge to have Carter and Mabus removed from their positions.
A socialist moslem CIC who promotes homosexuality, which is why either McCain or Romney would have been orders of magnitude better for our Armed Forces and our republic.
Socialists have a habit of only enforcing the law on political enemies.
McQueeg and Willard were there to assure the Communist Mohammadan traitor was elected and reelected.
McQueeg, 2008 on Zero, “But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.”
No doubt the first time in history a candidate has endorsed his opponent. D’oh! Moron.
Does everyone here realize that Pentagon workers get shaken down in the morning? In fact, the day this happened, the Pentagon employees were subjected to random searches. Yes, the most vetted work force on the planet cannot be trusted.
If fact, it is against federal law to keep a weapon in your car because the Pentagon's parking lot is part of a federal reservation. And here is the kicker: the Pentagon is in VIRGINIA, where it would otherwise be legal to carry.
I guarantee that if the Sec Nav went to visit a recruiting office he would be surrounded by ARMED body-guards.
I guess some lives are worth protecting and others are just FOD.
Charging the officer is over-kill. Period. If the Navy wanted to “do” something they could have had a quiet word, now because of their irrational fear of ARMED members of our ARMED forces, charging him generates much negative attention, and sends a message to terrorists and other such scum that if recruiters try to defend themselves their career, their professional life, is over. . .win-win for the scum.
I know you were being sarcastic.
Exactly as I called it several days ago. It’s likely to become a letter of reprimand in his personnel jacket and his career is toast. He won’t see O-5/CDR and won’t make retirement with a RIF in the wind. But he is alive!
‘Fraid you’re right. Takes just one @zzhole with a pen to ruin a career. I know what it is like to get in a p***ing match with a skunk.
Would take too much balls for someone in his chain of command to declare, “Not in the strictest accord with the rules, but worthy of honorable mention for his heroic deed”.
Too much to ask for, I know.
Well said!
Been run by idiots since the 60’s....
I do not care if it was his personal weapon, —
What if Lt.Cmdr had used his hands or feet? Thats a personal weapon, too.
