Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds”

Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly.

Also on Friday, the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work for ‘force protection.’

Today the Pentagon added this– Military recruiters are being told to “close the blinds” for added safety.

Gretchen Carlson reported:

“ We have just confirmed here at FOX from the Pentagon, that the head of the US Northern Command has now issued a directive to authorize recruiters not to be able to carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office

Got to love Monty Python references.
Also loving “The Donald” he will stick around the race a lot longer than most would expect. I see him polling strong all the way through.

Armed - Sand bagged bunkers may entice more potential visiting recruits to sign up. It will show that the military really means business.

It is a crying shame what is going on. We need someone like Col. Allen West as Secretary of Defense under our next President to get this awful mess straightened out.

I guess we'll be mighty disappointed when Her Highness Hillary the 1st gets in, won't we?

We can't vote our way out of this. The only solution is for the people to take arms, because that's the only thing these lily-livered elites fear.

Obama trusts Iran with nuclear conventional weapons, but he doesn’t even trust our armed forces with firearms.

This is EXACTLY like the directive to returning Vietnam military not wear their uniform.

I was ACTIVE in Thailand in 61,62,63. I did NOT wear a uniform.

I've read something like this; somewhere...





We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --

I meant returning to the US— that was told to our personnel coming stateside later in the war. Not knowing your “MOS”— assume that civvies were protective.
