Troops Disarmed for Pinetta 

US troops to hear Pinetta were disarmed in Afghanistan before his speech.

I have four comments on this:

1. Afghanistan has become even more violent under Obama / Pinetta
2. The man who says he has the authority to kill others and wage war without Congress wants himself to feel totally safe
3. A great time for the Taliban to charge the camp - with Americans unarmed.  Sort of like Ft. Hood.
4. General Patton must be turning in his grave.  If Patton were there, I would hope he would slap Pinetta for cowardice in face of his own American troops

one correction- I think General Patton would have done a He~~ of a lot more then slack Pinhead Pinetta in the face

Our military service personnel are better informed and connected today than ever before due primarily to the internet which not only provides current events coverage but allows visits with family members back home.

One of the responsibilities of command is to know how your subordinates feel and what they are feeling it about.  You do that by listening with the ears of others and seeing with the eyes of others as well as your own.

Another responsibility of a commander is to ensure the security of all VIPs.

Enough said.

"Another responsibility of a commander is to ensure the security of all VIPs."

Let me see if I have this right JB.  The security is better when everyone is disarmed?  Recent events have proven otherwise.

Sometimes the threat is inside the wire.

I understand JB, but using that logic we should all just turn all our firearms in.  

Shootings always happen in "Gun Free Zones".

With that said, I can certainly understand why anyone in this Administration may be nervous around anyone with a gun.

Only Obama would want troops disarmed in a war zone, and I think Afghanistan is still a war zone.

This was totally Outrageous! Maybe Panetta is afraid of the Troops!

Pinhead should be afraid - Traitors should be executed by the military
