Analyst's note:  Clearly the Obama administration and sr. military "leaders" have learned nothing from the massacres at Fort Hood in 2009 or the Washington Navy Yard last year.  During both the Navy Yard and Fort Hood shootings, the unarmed and defenseless JAG officers, Marines, and Soldiers could do nothing but cower as the shooters fired round after round into them .... unarmed American citizens.  If civilians can be trusted with guns, surely of all people, the brave, well-trained military personnel, without mental health issues, can be trusted.  Armed citizens, to include our military warriors, will provide the best last line of defense against gun-wielding lunatics and jihadist ... but then I repeat myself.

As a minimum, all officers and all NCOs need to be armed all the time, on-base and off, concealed or openly.  However, General Officers are far more concerned about embarrassing, career-wounding situations than they are about dangers represented by armed madmen on military facility.  And, no one seems to want to train anyone in the art of actually carrying loaded weapons on a routine basis.  While they are at it, leadership also needs to get at the root of the problem of 'Suicide Epidemic' among Veterans ... now 22 per day.  And no You Don't Have to See Combat to Get PTSD From War.

Dr. Keith Ablow notes:

".... anyone who wants to frame the Fort Hood tragedy as a gun control problem is an enemy of the truth and the good, and an impediment to doing what is right for all our people – particularly, the people who have fought for our freedoms and defend us every day."

Semper Fidelis!
