“If it were up to me, every NCO and above on-duty would be armed on every base until this conflict was over. ”

I agree.

I understand why the military keeps its regular infantry firearms locked up and carefully accounted for. However, it seems ridiculous to me that Non-coms and officers don’t even have holstered pistols when on duty.

This nutcase attacked a US military installation, armed only with two pistols, and managed to shoot at least 43 people before he was stopped by a CIVILIAN cop?!?

What kind of a MILITARY disarms itself to such an extent that it can’t repel a lone attacker armed with nothing but the smallest of firearms?
