Gen. Mark Milley, the Army chief of staff, came out strongly against the carrying of private guns on military bases as a security measure in the wake of shootings at Fort Hood, the Washington Navy Yard, and a recruiting station in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Milley, who assumed his current post in August 2015, was testifying alongside acting Secretary of the Army and former democratic congressman, Patrick Murphy before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) asked Milley about what the Army has done to better protect personnel and if the Army would consider letting soldiers carry their own weapons on bases. |

1. You can bet the Brass idiot was not in the room where the shooting took place.
2. They had to wait for the local cops to come and save the survivors. |

I wonder if Gen. Milley ever saw combat (and I don't mean reruns of a fifty year old TV show!)?
Civilians use guns in self defense many times a year.....I guess that our men in uniform are too dumb to figure out how to use a gun.
If so we are in deep kimshee. |

| Well there's your problem. You have an Army chief that assumed duties last year. The fact that he survived Zero's purge of the general staff shows he's a democrap yes man. The fact he was testifying alongside 4 democraps tells you everything you need to know about him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
