In the wake of the Chattanooga shootings, in which five unnamed U.S. servicemen were murdered by a self-radicalized jihadist, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno suggested that allowing soldiers on base or at recruiting centers “could cause more problems than it solves.” With all due respect to his service and status, this is nonsense.

**allowing soldiers on base or at recruiting centers “could cause more problems than it solves.”**

What is worse than Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen being killed by mooslums?

Back in the day you were a great General, but you have lost your spine.

Doe these ‘smart people’ ever consider that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are watching these developments with an eye towards mounting a major attack?......................

This about covers it,

“Marines at recruiting stations have Second Amendment rights as we all do, rights they put their lives on the line to protect. They were trained to protect us. They can protect themselves. They are not dangerous. They are not unstable. It is almost laughable that U.S. Marines need to be protected by civilians with guns from terrorists with guns.”

Odierno and President Obama are both wrong. Any Questions???

It only took three+ of these before any decision makers figured this out.

Disarmed Americans are sitting ducks. Gun free zones advertise soft targets.

Disarm anyone defending the Pentagon, the Capitol Building and the Out House, the supreme court and any other federal governmental agency until our service people are armed and have the right to defend themselves.

In Indiana, they're working on it. The fix is likely a temporary one, but seems to be a good start.
