An entire military base is afraid of two men with a gun?

Tha Taliban are chortling with laughter.
This is what you get from a CRT/very woke General Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

What a bunch of BS. Our troops should be allowed to carry sidearms on the base. Screw this pussified shelter in place crap. This is our military, not an elementary school.

If they carried sidearms, you wouldn't have people trying to shoot them up, and if they did, they would like not be in jail like that a-hole Hassan who should have been at room temperature on the same day he killed people.

I saw this at Dover AFB a few years back, and it just pissed me off:

They probably have the very woke, transgender “marines” at that base.

The truly pathetic part is trained military personnel running and hiding on their own base when they should be searching and destroying with their weapons.

When were their weapons taken away?

Foolish me. I would have thought that supposed terrorists would face more opposition on a military base.

If there are two suspicious guys on base, I could see the brass instructing everyone to avoid them, notify the MPs, and let them deal with it. If these two were identified as active threats, I assume different orders would be issued.

A military base in Washington, DC, was put on lockdown Friday amid reports of “two armed individuals” — as brass warned the troops there to “prepare to FIGHT.

“LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN,” Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling warned on Facebook on Friday afternoon.

The sad thing is ... this is not from the Babylon Bee.

I guess one individual has an F-15 and the other has a nuke.

If you encounter the individual and have a safe route, RUN. If you do not have a safe route to run, HIDE,” the base said.

“Barricade your door, turn off the lights and your cell phone ringer, and remain silent. If you are hiding, prepare to FIGHT.”

From the Babylon Bee?

Actually, those have SOP suggestions in London since their Muslim Mayor assumed power.

I know, right?
Instead of lockdown, run, and hide they should grab a rifle and go shoot that bastard

Yep. Because as I understand it, unless you are pulling guard duty, military personnel are disarmed on base. A few years back a friend of mine was deployed to Bagram. She sent back a picture of herself and some friends on the flight line. When I inquired about her empty shoulder holster she said that yes, even there they had to turn in sidearms when not on duty... SMDH...

SIP sign on door. Translation: “Hey maniac, you’ll find a bunch of unarmed people in here.” What an absolutely idiotic idea.

Run, Hide, Fight is the current SOP at the school I sub at. If the hostile intruder is some distance from you, get out of the building, if he is near you, lock the doors, windows, etc and hide. If he’s in the room with you fight him as best you can.

This is the SOP for teachers and students. I would hope it is not for police and warriors who are supposed to run towards the threat.

Genral Mark Milley would help, but he’s far too busy looking for White Domestic Terrorists, so he can’t be bothered right now.
