Soldiers can now carry on base"},"content":{"rendered":"

Good day all. If there is one group you would expect to be able to carry weapons, it would be soldiers. They are, after all, trained to use firearms of all sorts. However, there has been a ban on the ability of military personnel to carry weapons on base going back decades.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The original ban happened in 1992 under that useless idiot, President George H.W. Bush. However, it was Bill \u201cBubba Horndog\u201d Clinton who issued the formal order, AR 190-14. In any case, this order was a flat out disaster and has cost the lives of a number of military personnel, such as the 2009 Fort Hood shooting<\/a> by an Islamic Terrorist, Nidal Hasan.<\/p>\n

There have been other incidents over the years, and many people have complained that if we can\u2019t trust our own military with guns, then who can we trust? Now the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth has issued a new memo reversing this idiotic order. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

War Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a> signed a memo on Thursday ordering a major shift in base security policy, allowing service members to request permission to carry personal firearms for self-defense amid growing concerns about threats on U.S. installations.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In an announcement on social media, Hegseth said all American citizens have a God-given right under the Second Amendment to carry<\/a> weapons for protection.\u00a0<\/b>However, he said that right has not been extended to uniformed service members, who are “trained at the highest and unwavering standards.”<\/b><\/p>\n

First good on SecWar Hegseth. However, regarding the training? Yes. The military does train the troops to a standard. However, due to costs, they don\u2019t get to as much live fire practice as they should, outside of a few Special Operations groups. There have been any number of instances where civilians have out shot soldiers. SecWar Hegseth needs to do something about that as well.<\/p>\n

“These war fighters, entrusted with the safety of our nation, are no less entitled to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear arms<\/a> than any other American,” Hegseth said. “Our war fighters defend the right of others to carry. They should be able to carry themselves.”<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One reason soldiers should be able to carry is the escalating threats of terrorist attacks on military bases. Currently, only the on duty MP\u2019s and base security troops are armed. The problem with this is simple. Terrorists will go where the MP\u2019s aren\u2019t and start shooting at people with no ability to fight back. While the video below is just a bit of fiction, during the real attack, there were people shooting at the Japanese planes with whatever they had at hand, including an M1911 .45 caliber pistol.<\/p>\n
