The Bill Clinton law that allows all these soldiers to die should be removed.
Most current military officers have been thoroughly indoctrinated that military members couldn’t handle being armed.
Soldiers have not been allowed to carry on base long before Clinton; on an earlier thread on this topic many other former soldiers chimed in and we found it went back to at least before the Korean war. When I served (1983-1990) carry of personal was strictly prohibited at all duty stations, even the DMZ in Korea, which I thought was stupid at the time, given the immienent threat and numerous incidents on the Z. Issued weapons were kept under lock and key in the armory and issued to soldiers only upon order of the company commander. Live ammo was not issued except under very specialized circumstances.
This rule started under George HW Bush.
