Military Recruiters Not Thrilled With Militia ‘Protecting’ Them, By Accidentally Shooting Stuff [View all]

[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.
