About those citizens guarding recruiting stations
The Army says to treat them like security threats.
And one was told to leave or he would be arrested.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Yeah, how would you feel if strangers with guns (some of pretty douchey-looking) started randomly showing up and hanging around at your doorstep?
The polite thing to do would be to offer your services, thus giving the objects of your intended “charity” the option of declining or coordinating with you.
And would you feel better walking in to speak with a recruiter about a career, if there were some slovenly nerd holding a carbine pistol with no sights on it, or a skin-head with sunglasses and an SKS, hanging around out front?

They are the government, and we are not. They cannot have ordinary citizens acting as a militia to stand guard. It embarasses the Department of Defense. They would rather leave disarmed troops at risk. No, the whole scenario is hardly ideal, but it’s the scenario that has been created over decades of anti-gun government–including the military brass. I served, by the way. Not lawfully permitted to keep my .22 in my post quarters, at an infantry division post, for example. Bigger picture: Our feckless leaders are flopping around in a daze, with no idea what to do about all of the infiltrators we have permitted to enter the country. So, as usual, they are doing nothing other than CYA.

What I want to see most after a terror attack is some strange guy(s), without a uniform I recognize or ID, walking up to my place of business with a semi-auto or two.

“Our feckless leaders” do know what to do because THEY DO IT FOR THEMSELVES. I keep repeating this self-evident truth: ONLY YOUR ENEMY WANTS YOU DISARMED

Ron W. has a point. My question: just why does the military brass want the military “grunts” disarmed?

Kathy,
Because they are mostly political hacks that simply parrot the will of the ruling elite class who surround themselves with hired guns while they disarm those under them. It is “wickedness in high places” which keeps for themselves what they take from others.

Kathy – It is the habit of many officers to treat enlisted personnel like children. And I have seen many young privates respond by acting like children.
I personally wouldn’t let enlisted below NCO level carry. Once they get stripes, they should be trusted enough to be armed.
