It must be terrifying for the President (and his family) to be surrounded by guns 24/7. Everywhere he goes, there are agents with guns, police with guns, snipers on roof tops with guns, men walking beside him with guns...etc...etc.

And today he chose to bring along an armored car because, well the good intentions of lawful citizens decided to bring even more guns to make sure he came and left their city peacefully.

No one was hurt in the writing of this post.

I remember one time President Clinton came to visit Haiti. The SS asked us to provide counter-sniper support and checkpoint control of which we said sure. Then they asked for the bolts to our guns, at which time we told them to pound sand...they left and we weren't invited. I think 10th Mountain gladly provided cannon fodder in uniform for the visit. Don't know why the SS would think a bunch of SF types, would harm the POTUS...that's just ridiculous.
