And I, for one, am tired of the Confederate flag being responsible for these tragedies.

Yogi makes a valid point. Just like the Pentagon was a legitimate military target during 9/11, but the WTC was not.Yogimus wrote:All fucking around aside, at least he is hitting valid military targets.

If an E-6, O-1, or WO-1 can't be responsible with a personally owned weapon, he/she needs to be discharged post haste.

Re: Chattanooga shootings
we will not glass them over. For one that would take a LOT of nukes. We won't even blast out ONE small city. We might however roll the tanks. If there is enough shit, it might be in the governments best interest rolling the tanks there so the tanker crews don't take a drive up Penn Ave.Aesop wrote: And when people here get a bellyful of the War On Terror being abandoned over there, and coming to their hometown, I'll give you odds on how long before everything in the fertile crescent is glassed over and glows bright enough to be seen from space at night for the next 40 years.
That would be a welcome outcome on both sides. Not holding my breath, but off base carry for CWP holders should now be taken under serious consideration then passed right over obummers protest.Aesop wrote:Islam delenda est.
And FTR, the first Marine recruiter to pull an unauthorized carry piece and wax the next shithead like this is going to buried under an avalanche of positive press that HQ would be set on fire if they don't pin medals on him and battlefield promote him on the spot.
After that, the scramble will be how best to implement the "Armed Marine on Duty 24:7" policy globally in the 0.02 seconds they'll have before congressmen start calling for the Commandant's head on a pike.
If that is your foreign policy. You'd get my vote. I might even pay some democrats to vote for you several times.Aesop wrote:"That's a nice culture you've got there.

Re: Chattanooga shootings
The Gunny that recruited me for the USMC in high school wasn't supposed to carry. He always had a .38 snub either in an ankle holster or in his briefcase. I imagine his attitude was not unique.Yogimus wrote:Indeed. it is incompatible with standard recruiting operations.Netpackrat wrote:It was my understanding that the military has already established procedures for issuance of weapons to its personnel.Yogimus wrote:Ok... how do you see this whole "arming recruiters" being implemented

It is worth noting that the very same people who have been emulating the Taliban when it comes to confederate statues and monuments will adamantly oppose similar actions towards anything Islamic related.scipioafricanus wrote:And I, for one, am tired of the Confederate flag being responsible for these tragedies.

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.

Re: Chattanooga shootings
How so? If a recruit is scared off by the sight of an armed recruiter, then perhaps he was not fit for service in the armed forces to begin with.Yogimus wrote:Indeed. it is incompatible with standard recruiting operations.Netpackrat wrote:It was my understanding that the military has already established procedures for issuance of weapons to its personnel.Yogimus wrote:Ok... how do you see this whole "arming recruiters" being implemented
