Unarmed Military Are Targets - And Response (2)

  • Friday, July 17, 2015

My son works out of state at a Reserve center in the U.S. Army. He tells me we do not know the half of what is going on. They had an ISIS operative monitoring the goings and comings from his bases. They are required to wear uniforms, but not arms? This makes them targets.  They caught the guy in his case.  

It is time to rise up people against this lawlessness. Every U.S. soldier, sailor, Marine, has had weapons training. Let's demand that these people arm themselves, so they can save lives.  

I got my training in Navy boot camp and have taken carry permit classes since.  I cannot get a carry permit because I have no birth certificate. Where does that make sense?

Simple question, how can anyone with any intelligence at all pass laws that prohibit military personnel from not being armed on any military installation or at least have armed guards.  

It might be a good idea to remove the armed security from the Capitol and White House.  

Our so-called government never ceases to amaze me.
