Will Handing Out White Flags be Next?

Marines told to disarm before Panetta speech – CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs


I can't think of ANYTHING that is a bigger insult to a soldier than to make them give up their weopon. They are taught from the beginning that they are useless without it. When it's taken away it means they have done something wrong OR they are no longer trusted.

They should have given each Marine a white flag in trade.

The war is now is our ridiculous liberal government against our very own military.

It doesn't get any more pathetic than this.

Probably not a good move for our returning vets...

The guy who killed the 16 people was apparently a bit overly into what his gun could do.

These guys were NOT that guy. There will always be rogues. How can the Marines do anything about such nuts if they are disarmed?

That is correct! A soldier in a combat zone is indeed naked without his WEOPON!

Whaddya expect from this administration.

"It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments" ~ Obama

Can't take that at face value. It's got 'setup' flavor all over it.

That's what it's gonna come to. Should have listened to Ron Paul.
At this point in time, the only one who could have lifted this entire farce of clown circus off the hinges.

The rest of the bunch are spineless mimics.

I am with it, LB. But more so I believe our Marines should be right here on the soil of our homeland, armed and ready for defense. Period.

Both Afghan and US soldiers were invited and attended. Given the current situation, you'd have to be an idiot to tell that particular combination of people to arrive armed. Once again, just more right-wing spin.

Utterance is utterance. Words don't matter anymore.
