The tweet sent Thursday morning instructs all personnel at the base in Washington's Maryland suburbs to shelter in place and says more information will be released as it comes.

You know this nation is doomed when the instructions given to military personnel on a military base in an event like this are the exact same instructions that are given to a day care facility or kindergarten class.

Apparently there was coincidentally an active shooter drill planned for today. A real shooter may be there, however. Confusion reigns

They may as well say “cower in place” since they have disarmed our military bases!

Same instructions to: military personnel on a military base VS. a day care facility or kindergarten class.
= = =

Which group will obey better????

Which is ‘smarter’?

They have to bring in armed forces to save the military - Obama’s military.

Yeah, that need an Internet meme. It would need to be clear it’s not our military’s fault. Maybe your words in front of that photo of Obama on his bike.

I was going to post a very similar thought but you put it better than I would so I'm just reposting yours...

The unarming of our military personnel seems to be a long standing Rat tradition.

Shortly after the Cuban missile crisis was over, the sailors standing guard at our ships in Cuba and in the various ports of Floriduh did so with empty side arms or rifles with no bullets.

That bs stopped in Gitmo after Admiral Bulkeley took command:

When the Cuban government accused the United States of stealing water, base commander John D. Bulkeley ordered that the pipelines be cut and a section removed.

Then, he had the seabees and marines plant land mines on our side of the fence between between Gitmo and Cuba. Sailors standing guard watch were re qualified by Marines on the base firing ranges. You didn’t stand watch until you were requalified. Then, your weapons had loaded clips in them.

He closed the gate to Cuba and the Cuban base workers had to come in by ferry from Cuba. Then, there were armed USS Navy ships on patrol in the harbor, monitoring and shadowing these ferries with zero tolerance if something happened on one of those ferries. Those workers went through security checks at the ferry terminal before going to their work sites and before getting back on the ferry to leave Gitmo at the end of their work day.

I will try to find the link to a picture of a USS Navy ship on patrol monitoring a ferry bringing in Cuban workers to work in Gitmo during that time.
