CNN first to report a straight white male with a MAGA hat


MAGAhat first to run to the internet and assign some sort of conspiracy about the most recent mass shooter's identity politics.

Most of them do, but they also have large perimeters. Also, hundreds of people are into and out of that base daily. They don't perform cavity searches on each AT&T contractor.

You know how many idiots are in the military?

It's way safer for soldiers not to carry on base

I read that a 2nd BCT soldier shot his entire enlisted CoC.

Not sure how legit that source is.

No such thing.
Chain of Command is officers.
Enlisted don’t command.
NCO support channel is correct nomenclature.

Like any secure perimeter, the guards are generally at the access points and critical infrastructure (and general officers, by the way). It becomes a single point of failure, to a degree.

How did he get them all in one place?

Squad leader, platoon sergeant, first sergeant, sergeant major (and potentially brigade sergeant major)?

Let's allow the reporting develop. Specifics will hopefully get clarified.

I hate this word. Casualties to me always means dead. Did I learn this wrong or has the meaning changed over time?

Meh. I'm not so sure. Clinton pretty thoroughly defanged all servicemembers on base. Unless you're at the range, you're generally not armed on a military base.*

At Fort Polk, I couldn't find a round for my M14 in the early 60s unless I had snuck it out from the range.

For that matter, the rifles were locked up unless we were training.

Joe did something stupid enough to attract SGM'S attention and the others were there to share in the rain of shite. Unfortunately they thought Joe was just a dumbass when he was really a psycho.
