New Terror Attack on Military centers in Tennessee

Who said they were?

 

Um...no.

Not sure how you are fitting transport by civilian vehicle in this, but even if we find that necessary, then change the rule to allow it for duty purposes where no government issue vehicles are available.

You are the first person in this thread who threw out the ridiculous notion of toting around an M60 while on duty on base. If you've bothered to read to this point, no one said everyone should be carrying an M-16 either.

 

I think he was in Afghanistan. If he'd been in let's say, Syria, Jordan, or Pakistan, should we have invaded and killed thousands and thousands of people there too?

 

Soldiers manning recruiting offices didn't carry firearms back when, either, best I can recall.

In fact, I've NEVER known soldiers who spend a lot of time with the public to carry weapons very much.

When I was a Reservist and doing my weekend training at our Reserve facility -- located in an industrial park in a Twin Cities suburb -- none of us carried weapons, either -- it was mostly classroom and drill work. The few weapons we did have had dummy ammo, not live ammo.

So it's not like, absent that order, these places in Chatanooga would have been crawling with armed soldiers.

 

I'm not even saying all on duty should be armed. only specific people performing a specific task.

 

Reservists are irrelevant. The argument is for soldiers on base, on Title 10 orders. Not a weekend warrior holding his piece while he does his 2 day drill at the armory.

Stay on topic. Take your signature for example:

"Think. *Then* post."

Soldiers on Title 10 orders.

 

Maybe not you personally, but I hear that all the time from the right. Another poster (maybe you?) was just asking something like "why don't we now take down the Muslim flag (not sure what means exactly)? If you weren't inferring that, delete if from the record.

 

Yup. So long as the same events that lead up to the invasion of Afghanistan occurred in those countries as well.

 

I do not know much about this guy other then he has a Muslim sounding name and he committed mass murder at this point, my guess would be it was a terrorist act and that he was Muslim

Congress had to change the rules because of the last shooting, being mass murdered by one of their own.... as that just was never imagined in the past, this case doesn't sound like was a soldier, so wont have those complications


.

 

Not one bit. Anyone who thinks like that is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing moron.

 

I'm not on board with that sentiment at all. America shouldn't attack entire nations to chase one man or one relatively small organization.

I thought that's we have Navy SEALS and Army Rangers, along with the Delta Force.

 

The same place when Clinton was President.

But Bin Laden wasn't the mastermind of 9-11 it was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who planned the 9-11 attacks, over saw the training of the 9-11 terrorist and oversaw the carrying out of the 9-11 attacks, not Bin Laden.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in 2003 when G.W. Bush was POTUS.

It was the mastermind of 9-11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was waterboarded at Gitmo that all of the liberals got their panties all wadded up in a bunch.

 

Ya think?

It's been fun, gotta go. Welcome back to you too, Apache

 

Up in I Corps, first six months 1/13 but usually TAD with 1/26 and 2/26
Last six months I was with Sub Unit One 1st ANGLICO, Hoi An.

 

I agree with you 100%.

 

And who was his boss?

 

Leftist scum hate hurting their own.

 

If that country sides with or tries to protect that group or man then yes, invade away. I'm not saying a one person man hunt is cause for invading an entire country, but trying to call the invasion of Afghanistan that would be beyond oversimplification.

 

Umm ok so what flag and tv show gets banned now? And when is Obama speaking out against muslims who are terrorists?

 

you mean Obama should not start a war with Kuwait now? once were there put it on hold and attack a near by country just cause?

.

 

if a state house was flying the ISIS flag, sure we would ban it... would you defend it... I wouldn't

.

 

Is there a difference?

 

Back during the 50's and 60's it wasn't uncommon for Marine recruiters who worked in a high crime neighborhood (Harlem, Bronx, South Side Chicago, etc.) to have a .45 service pistol in their desk. Was it official policy, I doubt it.

It was that some young teenage thug would get drunk and join the Marines. The next day after sobering up he realized what he did and would show up at the recruiting station threatening violence if the recruiter didn't tare up the contract he signed. The recruiter pulled out the .45 and a couple weeks later the new maggot finds himself standing on some yellow footprints at MCRDSD or MCRDPI.

I served 69-71 and when I was the company Duty NCO when I was with the 5th MAB at Camp Pendleton we were issued a .45 M-1911 A1, two magazines and ten rounds of ammunition. When the policy ended ? I don't know.

But last year outgoing Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Amos issued a "Directive" that all Marine Duty NCO's will carry a loaded service pistol.

Don't know if Obama pulled rank and belayed that directive ?

Someone who wasn't as incompetent as Obama.

 

Looks like ISIS knew it was coming.
