As Fox News interviewed Congressman Scott Dejarlais (R-TN), who had just introduced a bill to arm military personnel at US recruitment centers the news station was able to confirm a bizarre update to the story. After the most recent devastating attack by a gunman on a Chattanooga recruitment center the Army chief of staff General Ray Odierno had announced he has no plans to arm recruiters, despite the threat of domestic terror attacks targeting unarmed, unguarded military offices. Also, the Marin Corps ordered recruiters to not wear uniforms to work as a means of ‘force protection’.
The Fox Interviewer, Gretchen Carlson learned that the head of US Northern Command had an additional directive, labeled a ‘safety measure’. And no, it wasn’t to permit the soldiers their sidearms, as the Congressman wanted.
See the astonishing exchange in the clip after the break:
Maybe but how many troops would violate a direct order when their lives their children’s lives their families lives depended on it. What would you do for your child or children. My answer: whatever it takes. I agree there are other ways of defending our troops without stepping on one more right and law we have.
The president is apparently afraid that if the citizens have guns, and the military is armed, someone will for some reason decide to come after HIM!
disarm the secret service… The WH can close their blinds and the SS can arm themselves with cans of beans and corn….same for the Pentagon…..idiots all…
OMG!!!! Seriously???
Sounds like military leaders would give up God for their job.
they undermine the confidence of our military
I am going to Help !! Bring Him Down!!!!
Absurd not to take appropriate measure to prevent future attacks in these centers
If this is the level of our military leaders, God help us!
About time.
