....with friends like these, who the fuck needs enemies?
(The Gateway Pundit) A report at The Navy Times in July confirmed that one of the Marines shot during the Chattanooga terrorist attack exchanged fire with the terrorist. Navy Lt. Cmdr Timothy White also shot back at the terrorist.

But rather than being celebrated as a hero, Lt. Commander White may be charged for discharging a firearm on federal property. Allen West reported this week that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property. The text message asked if it would be possible for Lt.Cmdr White to reach out to me. To wit I replied, affirmative.

What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces — pardon me, our “unArmed Forces”? What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center? Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors. Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf. But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack. I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.

Folks, this has become the Obama military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected — but will punish them if they do protect themselves. What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz? What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform — especially the commanders — are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?
....thoughts? :mad::mad:
 
As I have been saying this country is officially a left wing run banana republic. Written law means nothing to our government and insanity is embraced. It is far past time for states to become there own sovereign nations.

The Navy Times confirms that they were carrying personal weapons when they engaged the terrorist.

It says nothing about formal charges.

But nobody would be surprised if they were charged.
Wouldn't surprise me...I mean, this is one of those "letter of the law vs. spirit of the law" questions. Technically, he did break the law by having a weapon in a location where they're not allowed...on the other hand, given the circumstances, one would think they'd let it slide. *adds deadpan* Then again, with this adminstration, who the hell knows what they'll do?
