These soldiers would have been safer in Iraq or Afghanistan because they would have been able to fire back.
There is something very troubling about that.
The Soldiers were in danger the instant they walked into the gun-free zone that is known as Fort Hood.
They have absolutely no way of defending themselves in a situation like this, and are solely reliant on the police for their defense.
But as the old saying goes, "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."
Why is a Soldier with a Texas-issued CCP systematically denied the right to defend himself at Fort Hood?
