BREAKING: Pentagon Tells Military Recruiters ‘No Guns’ Allowed at Centers – “CLOSE THE BLINDS” for Safety (VIDEO) Jim Hoft Jul 20th, 2015 1:39 pm Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds” Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly. Also on Friday, the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work for ‘force protection.’ Today the Pentagon added this– Military recruiters are being told to “close the blinds” for added safety. Gretchen Carlson reported: We have just confirmed here at FOX from the Pentagon, that the head of the US Northern Command has now issued a directive to authorize recruiters not to be able to carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office.” Via The Real Story:

Gen George S. Patton would be so ashamed of this guy, would probably dress him down like a wild man. And in the end, would fire him! Si vis pacem, para bellum
Patton would have publicly unloaded so much on the games of snakes and good little Germans like 0dierno that he probably would have been assassinated soon after returning stateside after WWII.... OH WAIT.
“Closing the blinds at the office.” Good Lord...
Works for me during mealtimes. I would borrow one of those traps from my next-door The nutcase is in his early 70s. I wouldn't do it. Hey - I owned and rode a motorcycle in my 20s. Only almost killed myself on that thing twice.
I own two Yamaha currently. I am currently riding my 1300cc V Star back from Salem, Oregon after I leave this restaurant. I also have a 535cc Virgo I ride in town.
If a guy walks in the door and starts firing, they can throw MRE's or staplers at him.
Isn't he another Obama appointee?
Big Ray is okay. He's doing what needs to be done to avoid paranoia...and overreaction.
The dead are not prone to overreaction or paranoia, but there's got to be a better way! How about shooting back? You want our country to look like Israel? No thanks.
Why would it be bad if they were to carry sidearms or even chl? People have a right to defend themselves even if they work for the government.
It already is. LQQK around any large, central city or other urban population center and the stats reveal something very center to violent conflict. Israel is a wittle jewish nation in the center of a pile of muslims; israel has received PILES of US taxpayer relief to offset their otherwise well-known poverty. That US intervention has cause the ME grief.
You want the whole country to look like Arlington National Cemetery? No thanks. Fight back! No, it is better if they just close the blinds. If it's hot out, it saves energy too!
The Marines should at least carry a K-Bar, or a Sykes/Fairborn. Maybe even a pair of them.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Fight back! " Agree !! Si vis pacem, para bellum
Seems silly. As long as a gunman knows they're unarmed, he can almost certainly get inside the doors and still fire shots and take out a number of people sitting at desks. This advice almost certainly would not have stopped a determined attacker like in Chattanooga. This is just some Pentagon weasel, trying to look all concerned while doing nothing to improve the military's satellite office security.
Some worthwhile QOTD from over at AOS. Steyn's essay really nails it: A Chinese-made teddy bear from Wal-Mart is not an appropriate reaction. Righteous anger is. And there's not a lot of evidence of that. ...Screw the cakes and balloons. We who did not know them cannot mourn them: That is for their friends and family. The nation's duty is to avenge them - so that they did not die in vain. -- Mark Steyn in Senselessness and Sensibility Or at least give them the means to defend themselves against domestic jihadi fuckwads. We've Lost 34 Servicemen In Military "Gun Free Zones" On Obama's Watch But now military facilities - especially recruiting centers - have become perfect targets for domestic islamic terrorists since they're full of military personnel who are guaranteed to be unarmed. Mark Steyn points this out the deliberate nature of this result here: Meanwhile the Media puzzles over what Muhammad's motive for shooting up a recruiting office could possibly be. And yet the Obama administration and the DoD continue to make sure that these known terrorist targets are deliberately kept unarmed. . . .
I own no motorcycles currently. I've been out out of the wheelchair for 4 or 5 years I sold that Yamaha to my cousin Geoff - who subsequently
What the pentagon says has no impact, what has impact is what the company commander says. Marines obey their company CO, no other.

New security measures ... closing the blinds ...
These damn stray kittens stand outside my dining
room sliding glass door and watch me eat.
I've got to call the Animal Orphanage again and get
them to put Hav-A-Hart traps out here and collect
these super-cute beasts.
neighbor - but he's MIA riding his Harley across
the country. New Jersey to California - and back.
And I'm at least 20 years younger than him.
That was enough.
(Crazy ass in a BMW ran a light - and the pothole. - both bad.)
Cool bike, though...

Quote of the Day IVI'm afraid the makeshift memorials of flags and other patriotic memorabilia that have sprung up on the edge of the police tape depress the hell out of me. A no doubt sincere veneration for the military apparently can only express itself with a feeble passivity that is a large part of the problem. This isn't a time for the bumper-sticker bromides of "We salute our heroes/Thank you for your service/We support our troops". Among the dead are men who waged a bloody and hard-fought battle to retake Fallujah ...only to come home and die unarmed in a crappy shopping mall at the hands of a halfwit fanatic whose family had been under the leisurely money-no-object scrutiny of the bloated security apparatus for years.
What matters is that we've now had five mass shootings on military facilities during Barack Obama's presidency. The policies, originally designed to mitigate the risk of negligent discharges, may have worked from the time of Nixon up until the time we started seeing credible threats of attacks on domestic military facilities.
I understand that it's a Clinton era policy, but in fact, some of the most vulnerable places in the United States are actually "military installations" - just recruiting centers, or full-scale military bases. But basically, they're the equivalent of some insane left-wing campus that's all fluffy-bunny peacenik. And it is absolutely ridiculous that these four Marines were dependent on that sticker in the glass door of the shopping mall declaring that this place was a gun-free zone, that they're dependent on that to protect them. And that is going to have to change because you know - this is from an ISIS point of view, from the jihad's point of view - four high-value targets, the best in America trained to the highest level, and some nothing, some punk guy, some kid born in Kuwait whose dad works for the Chattanooga Public Works Department or whatever, is able to take them down, because as a matter of United States government policy, these Marines in these recruiting centers are vulnerable, because the government says they have to be vulnerable.
But streiff of Red State points out with the help of Michelle Malkin that the Obama presidency has been full of attacks both planned and executed against members of the military in the US. The pattern is right there for everyone except the foolish and malevolent to see. 2011: Jihadist Muhammad Yusuf caught by NYPD building pipe bomb to kill cops & U.S. soldiers. pic.twitter.com/1zh7dD0NkX

(I fell, head injury) about 6 years ago.

Whatever. It's history now.
