This should be a red flad/warning to all our service men and women around the world, also. Do not walk, jog, cycle, etc. alone or unarmed. To leave our military unarmed today is to invite trouble. Jihadists are watching and preparing.
This Administration is not looking out for the best interests of Americans anywhere. Especially since Turkey wants that Muslim cleric.
I have been out of the military for decades. I still look somewhat fit and have the same haircut, but no one would mistake me for active duty. Still, I never go anywhere unarmed. In my home, I'm armed with at least a knife, and firearms are seconds away. Outside the home, I'm armed with at least a knife. It's the People's Republic of Maryland, so I don't carry a gun, but the knife is extremely accessible and the best I can do. I do not walk, jog, cycle, etc. alone or unarmed.
