Department of Defense policy prohibits military personnel from carrying arms in recruitment centers.
This only helped jihadist Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez kill four Marines and a sailor at the Armed Forces Career Center and a naval reserve center in Chattanooga, Tennessee this month.
DOD spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis stated on Thursday that the Pentagon still intends to maintain this policy. “We do not support arming all military personnel for a variety of reasons,” Davis stated. “(There are) safety concerns, the prohibitive cost for use-of-force and weapons training, qualification costs as well as compliance with multiple weapons-training laws.”
The Obama administration continues to leave our military as sitting ducks.
And, it gets worse…

Susan Crotwell very few service members receive training or have a service pistol qualification. As for initial training it is not designed for everyday situations such as public encounters it is based around combat scenarios so the service members would need extensive training as a police officer would receive in an academy. They would also need an annual service pistol or rifle qualification on that designated branches range. For Marines that would mean every single independent duty Marine travel to one of the six installations in the country for two weeks to complete said qualification annually which would entail a lot of logistical planning.
The public is ignorant in regards to this situation and they create ignorant opinions based on that. You should consider researching the subject before discrediting this decision made by the pentagon.
