In Rememberance of our Marines: How will you ensure that they are remembered?

Time to rearm the troops.

Aside from Fort Hood, haven't most of the attacks against our military at home been against Navy and Marines?

I will and have already begun commenting about Fallen Marines every time I hear a peep about Cecil The Lion (eyeroll).

Which is worse? We lost four Marines to a cowardly terrorist attack or we had to shame our President into acknowledging them? Or that his Administration is resisting naming it an act of terrorism? These questions and more plague me. How can we fight a war when our service members are sent onto the battlefield unarmed? How can we fight a war that our Commander-in-Chief refuses to name? How can we fight an enemy who is allowed to cross porous borders with impunity? How many more Americans and Service Members will be wounded or killed in the remaining months of this Administration? How many more if it is simply replaced by another Administration that hides behind political correctness to fundamentally change a nation that didn't need changing? Will we ever have a government that focuses on its first and foremost duty to defend America rather than changing it? Will we ever have a government that acknowledges the right of every American, not only service members, to defend themselves? Will we ever have a government that will simply leave us the hell alone, to live as free individuals with inalienable rights?

I will try to improve, moment by moment, as a veteran. I will try to increase the number of veterans I help; at the VA Hospital.
I will try my GODLY best to improve on how I serve my community, my nation, and the world.
But most of ALL, HOW I pray for you, FAMILIES of the fallen. May you find solace in your faith.

After no less than five acts of domestic terrorism in as many years, we still do not have the ability to protect ourselves on military installations. How many more senseless killings will have to take place before our government and military leaders act to make it legal for individuals to carry weapons for self defense. We are required to carry a weapon at all times in combat zones, well, with this latest incident, the combat zone has come home and carrying a weapon here should be a requirement also. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. In most cases it would seem that the post commander would have the authority to enact this.

I really hate having to post this. Your blood will really be boiling after you read this miserable little, despicable article on Slate -- "The Chattanooga Killings Aren't Terrorism" by William Saletan. I would post a link if I could figure out how.

Marines should NEVER be unarmed in the performance of their duties. We also need to begin calling these attacks what they are: international Islamic terrorist attacks on American soil. I know it's not PC, but, there, I wrote it!

My condolences to the friends and families of these true Heroes; Marines, Navy Sailors and Police Officers killed and injured in this cowardly act by nothing but a coward. It's just flat out infuriating that these Marines did not have weapons to be able to defend themselves because of a very outdated regulation. There is a Global War on Terror and it is here at home. Our service members have to be able to protect themselves here at home with firearms. Now the Pentagon needs to decide how to get that done!

To all my USMC Friends I am sorry for the loss of your brothers.
