He’s about a brazen mother fucker ain’t he?
What little analysis I’ve read of the “guns on base” issue seems to lean towards the military being generally opposed to everyone and anyone carrying loaded weapons on military base grounds. With the exception of designated, identified and empowered security persons the tradition (if not the law and regulations?) seems to be it’s not a practice the military welcomes. Anyone out there versed in this area of military law and tradition?
I haven’t read much more than the basics about this, and it seems base commanders have some discretion in how they handle it, but the officials in what Cruz is pleased to call “Obama’s Pentagon” do seem to oppose the idea of having just anyone walk around with concealed personal weapons. They’re such naive gun-hating patchouli-smelling pacifists that they think it might actually increase, not reduce, the danger of shootings on the bases. What’s more, a law backed by the NRA and written by the esteemed senator Inhofe from Oklahoma effectively limits their ability to try to prevent suicides among troubled service personnel. If you needed one more reason to despise the NRA, there you go.
DRAFT.
That’s the operative word for Cruz…
He should have been drafted and deployed (preferably 11 Bravo) in the most bullet-ridden combat theatre imaginable.
(Pick the War)
The only thing wrong with this is that Cruz’ incompetence, insanity and cowardice would kill most everyone alongside of him. At least that is the impression I got from my Dad who was in Normandy on D Plus One.
The issue should be - If you can straight out lie about petty stuff like this, that you spoke to McCain when you did not, what would you not lie about, Cruz ?
And why draft a letter to McCain instead of just walking down the hall, or taking an elevator a few flights up to go and talk to him.
If this is a window into Prez Cruz, we are in deep crap.
Cruz remembers talking to McCain about it at the committee meeting he held in his head.
Drafting ? Like with crayons ?
I know where that letter will be filed.
John will be wondering why it’s dated January 6.
Cruz will be lucky if John McCain doesn’t tear up the letter on “Meet the Press”, and then wipe his ass with it. He’s already mad as hell about this, don’t make it worse!
This Mutual Assured Destruction shit. I guess Cruz assumes that arming everyone on all military bases will reduce the murder suicide rate among military personnel as well if we arm everyone. THis has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment and just a play to capture the gun nut vote and NRA.
