Military Recruiters Not Thrilled With Militia ‘Protecting’ Them, By Accidentally Shooting Stuff

[TexasTowelie]

After the Chattanooga shootings, a whole bunch of armed militia loons took it upon themselves to do for the military what the Pentagon was too pussy to do for itself: dress up like they’re ready for World War Z and stand around outside recruiting centers, just in case any more 24-year-old Muslim guys with depression and drug problems decide to go on a murder spree. But is the military grateful? No, the ingrates at the U.S. Army and other branches of the military have asked them to please just go away, and advised recruiters to treat armed people milling around outside their offices as a security threat.

For one thing, the military notes, while the Chattanooga shooter did indeed fire a lot of shots through the windows of a recruiting center, the fatalities all occurred at the second shooting site, after he crashed the gate at the Navy Operational Support Center. For another thing, the Army is apparently a bunch of liberal gun-haters who don’t understand that only good guys stand around in public with AR-15s and flak jackets:

“I’m sure the citizens mean well, but we cannot assume this in every case and we do not want to advocate this behavior,” according to the Army Command Operations Center-Security Division letter, which was authenticated by the service. […]

“If questioned by these alleged concerned citizens, be polite, professional and terminate the conversation immediately and report the incident to local law enforcement …,” the command advised.

An Army Recruiting Command spokeswoman, Kelli Bland, offered a less kinetic way for the public to help out: call the police if you see anything suspicious.

“Local communities can support our security by reporting suspicious activity, particularly around recruiting centers,” Bland wrote in an email to Stars and Stripes.

Well, fine, but where’s the fun in that? Besides, the self-appointed defenders of Our Troops disagree with the Pentagon policy that doesn’t allow anyone but military police to be armed, and they’re pretty certain Obama took their guns away — never mind that the policy long predates the current administration.

1. A phalanx of untrained yahoos with guns at the door, what could go wrong?

Well, except nobody wanting to walk past them to sign up for the military, that is.

2. I saw these whackos on the local news and thought the same thing.

Just waiting for them to pick off an innocent brown person like the bigots did after 9/11.

3. That poor dog must be so embarrassed

7. That woman in the pic (which I assume is staged or shopped) is wearing too much body armor.

Everyone who plays video games know that the less a female character wears, the better protected she is. I'm sure she can afford some suitable bulletproof pasties and thong instead.

8. Because a real terrorist would not be able to dress up like that

Everybody knows that if they tried to wear stars and stripes PJs or ammo-camo, they would just burst into flames. Sort of like how swearing on a Bible kill commies.
