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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
