“two counter-sniper officers suspected of drinking”

If I had to throw myself in front of a bullet headed for that turd I would probably develop an alcohol habit too...

The SS (Secret Service, not Sturm Soldaten) ain’t what it used to be, is it? I wonder if moral has anything to do with the current situation?

Why is this even being reported? This what you get with this assclown mentality. Party duds, enjoying the fruits of being elitist with this administration. It will only end when this trash is no longer in office.

[ When morale goes in the tank, then stuff like this happens. ]

YUP, no doubt that Obama and his staff treat their SS protection like absolute crap...

Imagine having to protect Valerie Jarrett.....

Watching her eat live mice... ugh...

That would demormalize me as well...

And WHY does the "sleestack in chief" even get SS protection? Isn't that just really Odd....

When you look over the footprint of the travel entourage, the Secret Service grew at a hefty rate in the 1990s, and it’s bulked up big in the last ten years. All of this attracted a bunch of wannabe Secret Service folks...who get into trouble on these foreign trips. They said for this trip....there’s 900 support personnel who traveled to Europe with the President. When Nixon did his trips....how many did he have? I’ll bet it was a quarter of that number.

I sure as hell don't want to hear/see day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade how America assassinated Obama. So yes, I want the best protection for Obama. He does not deserve to become a martyr.

i think we need to get rid of the ss guard as it currently is.

The very first day of the Haiku Guy Administration, I would call up the Barracks at 18th and Eye and tell them to send over 400 Marines. I would then turn to the head of my Secret Service detail and inform him that their services would no longer be required, and give them 24 hours to vacate the White House.

Evidently the conduct of Secret Service agents has regressed from mere (?) fecklessness to a culture of drunken revelry and debauchery.

I’d say the Cheney incidents were worse than the Netherlands incident. It’s all fish from the same barrel.
