~Israelis Baffled by News of Defenseless US Soldiers~
Many Israelis want to know: why didn’t the soldiers attacked by a U.S. Army major-turned-terrorist return fire?
“When a Muslim goes off, well, a Muslim in Israel he is typically shot to death by someone–say, a reserve soldier–within seconds of screaming “Allah Akbar.” In contrast with the Israeli experience, it took 10 minutes before a female civilian police officer at Fort Hood was able to shoot and stop Muslim fanatic Nidal Malik Hasan.
How could that happen? How could so many people trained in the strategies and tactics of modern warfare be so defenseless?
The answer–and this may astonish many Americans–is that the victims were unarmed. U.S. Soldiers are not allowed to carry guns for personal protection, even on a 340-acre base quartering more than 50,000 troops. Even sworn police officers operating just outside the gate can’t carry a weapon onto the base. The California National Guard will not allow California Peace Officers to carry a weapon onto any of their facilities and they are a California State Agency! How stupid is that? When will stupid stop? When we quit electing far left democrats who want socialism and hate the military and law enforcement. The fact that we as voters keep repeating our mistakes hoping things will somehow get better is in itself crazy times ten!
So it goes in brain-dead, far left liberal America. We’re now a bunch of sitting ducks; we have got people highly trained to carry weapons and they are defenseless to the rogue lunatic or the planned attack by our nations enemies. Fort Hood is a “gun free” zone, thanks to regulations adopted in one of the very first acts signed into law by anti-gun President Bill Clinton in March, 1993. Why must we continue to let the damage continue? If this is supposed to be an adminstration for change, why not reverse the presidential policy and get back to common sense tactics. Completely disarming our military men and women on active duty inside a military compound…why its almost beyond comprehension. In the old days we at least had armed MP’s and armed soldiers standing guard duty. I think its time to return to those days and say no more to the far left policies that are killing us.
Contrary to President Obama’s crocodile tears, his administration is bent on further disarming the U.S. Military, and all Americans. Obama and his people will not rest until every American is a sitting duck, just like our soldiers on military bases.
PS: Israeli teachers, from kindergarten on up, are also armed; so, a Virginia Tech-type slaughter is highly unlikely at an Israeli university. This is because the government trusts their people, unlike the US government.
Israelis, who have had to combat terrorism all their lives, are not afraid of guns. They are an armed people, ready, willing, and able to defend themselves and their country.
Unlike indoctrinated Americans, paralyzed by fear and political correctness, Israelis understand that people, not guns, kill people. Are you one of the indoctrinated? If you are not, then maybe you should call your local Congressman or Senator and ask why we have such a stupid policy for military bases? Ask what they are doing about changing it? Get some answers, rattle their cages…don’t take no for answer. STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE STUPIDITY.
