The events in Chattanooga, TN last week made one thing abundantly clear to all Americans. Our military recruiting and reserve centers, along with the ROTC offices are sitting ducks for attacks. Chiefly because our men and women in the military are not allowed to carry arms while on duty. It was made graphically clear on Thursday, being unarmed is deadly when faced with a 20 minute weapons barrage by a terrorist.
As of yesterday afternoon it seems that our military commanders are proposing a bold new safety and security plan for all the recruitment centers …sort of.
Adm. Bill Gortney, head of the U.S. Northern Command, which oversees security for military facilities in the U.S., issued a directive Sunday night that calls for modest new security measures while the Defense Department considers more substantive steps to address threats to the facilities, officials said.
The security boost doesn’t authorize recruiters to carry weapons in the centers—a move that would require higher-level action. Instead, officials said they are directing hundreds of recruiting and reserve centers and ROTC facilities to increase surveillance and take basic steps such as closing blinds at the offices.
What in the H E Double Hockey Sticks is he thinking??!! I mean seriously, does he really believe that blinds like the styles pictured here:
Would’ve stopped THIS from happening?
