11. The great misconception

Is that the military totes gun everywhere while on post.

They have strict controls that would, actually probably are, surprise civilians.

The MPs responded, like civilian counterparts would respond to a mass shootings in places like...insert your recent shooting here.

The army considered allowing people to carry guns in more places within post for ten minutes...that is until they realized a few of the wounded were friendly fire.
