It's no wonder our military fails and no plan survives first contact before someone lower in the ranks steps up to find success.
Check out this article from USA TODAY:
Honore: America's in denial about gun culture
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...ture/30764255/
This is remarkable and truly his best statement in regards to what he opined on.
Honore said he doesn't know what steps government should take tighten controls on carrying guns
— "I'm not smart enough for that," he said — but he said mass shootings "are scarring our country."
He doesn't see the irony in this -
"The best place for weapons when you're not in the field is to be locked up in the garrison," Honore' said. "Our biggest problem before Desert Storm was (soldiers) accidentally firing their weapons, and they're trained.
They were trained to do what, clean them for the millionth time, put them away under lock and key and an "ARMED" armorer?
What would Gen. Von Steuben, think of the Continental Army going home without their rifles?
And we'll, I guess he forgets to mention that unless it was the Ammo Depot the guards had no bullets -
"
I don't think it's a good idea to arm military at the recruitment offices or to have civilians there with guns," Honore said. "That's the job of law enforcement. On our bases, yes, we guard our gates and our bases, but not at the recruitment offices."
Must be nice to live in Command Billets and have MPs on constant patrol...it shades the color of your glasses.
