the third it can be used to butt stroke someone or fix a bayonet

USS Cole Captain wanted to avoid "potential tragedies" immediately AFTER they had come under attack --no live ammo passed out to gunners.

How to stop Islamic terrorism in Europe? Easy...pack every one of them, Muslims, on a boat and drop them off back in Sh*tholeistan.
Will the craven, lib Euro countries do that? Of course not...that would be racist. It wouldn't be racist, but the cowardly libs will do anything to not be accused of racism. Better their countries go down the tubes than be accused of racism.

OUR OWN FORCES have, on COUNTLESS OCCASIONS, been paraded out in a "Show of Force" with NO AMMO!!! I am certain that many Freepers can attest to that fact!!!

There were several times that Belgians accquited themselves bravely in 1914, but logistics were against themGerman troops committed many atrocities against Belgian civilians during WWI which was documented in a book I recently read "German Atrocities 1914: A History of Denial" by Home and Kramer.

While in the army, we would occassionally travel off post to perform a funeral...usually for a WWII vet. We used M16s for the salute. As the plation leader, I carried a pistol, in case somebody tried to steal our rifles during our travels. And, just like Barney, I wasn’t allowed to keep a round in the gun. Rather, I carried a magazine in my pocket, per SOP :(

No member of the American military should ever stand guard with unloaded weapons. That includes ceremonial ones like the Unknown Soldier.
Probably the same should be said for cops.

As was Bush’s stationing of National Guardsmen at the Mexican border, bulletless.

My dad told me, that when he pulled guard duty in the US Army, circa 1962 at a base in West Germany, that he was sent out with a gun with no bullets. Much the same as now, the gun carrying was for theatre. So this is not a new phenomenon.
