There are NO safe muslims.

Always treat the muslim as if it is loaded. It just may be.

Never point a muslim at anybody unless you plan to kill them.

Relevant information about how common the training of foreign military personnel at US bases is, and has been.

In the 2018 fiscal year, some 62,700 foreign military students from 155 countries participated in U.S.-run training, the total cost of which was approximately $776.3 million, according to DoD records.

Among them is a contingent Saudis who recently arrived at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

In recent weeks, 18 naval aviators and two aircrew members from the Royal Saudi Naval Forces were training with the U.S. Navy, including a stint at Pensacola, according to a November 15 press release from the Navy.

It was not clear if the suspected shooter was part of that delegation.

The delegation came under a Navy program that offers training to U.S. allies, known as the Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity.

A person familiar with the program said that Saudi Air Force officers selected for military training in the United States are intensely vetted by both countries.

It’s actually very common practice when we sell armaments ie. planes, tanks etc. to foreign countries that we train their troops in how to operate them.

There are generally hundreds of foreign soldiers at various bases at any given time training on arms we have sold them.

I remember those days. Iranians were being trained on an Air Force base where we lived and had to leave town suddenly. We got a great price on a vehicle and bought cheap on other items.

Back in the early 70’s we were training Iranian pilots at our military bases.

He has that same empty look as Mohammed Atta, the ringleader of the 9/11 attacks.

My wife was a training coordinator in the Philippine navy. Her job was to review applications for training in the USA, and send them here.

One day they found that many of the men were bringing their wives to the USA, and then returning home without them. Very mysterious. One of the gals in the department was selling the “Wifes Seat” for 5 thousand bucks. The girl doing it got out of the office and to the USA just before the shit hit the fan. She purchased a house in the states for about 250,000 bucks. So I guess she got about 50 women over here. Undocumented immigrants.

Third world corruption.

We train Saudis in part so we can use bases in Saudi when we need them.

It would be politically incorrect (therefore a crime today) if you suggest a religion which tells its followers to murder infidels produces followers who murder infidels. But it’s not politically incorrect (therefore not a crime today) to suggest that a religion that tells its followers to love thy enemy are worse than Nazis. Just because they oppose abortion and homosexual “marriage”. (Opposing them is a crime today.)
