U.S. Sailor passes away from wounds and becomes 5th victim from the Chattanooga shooting.

I'm soooooooooooooo pissed off right now - we have 5 dead Military men that should absolutely NOT have died. This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense!!!

We updated our protections of judges and people going to courts - years ago.

We updated our protections of pilots and people flying at airports years ago.

We sent our milititary overseas - and started wars with other countries - directly creating hundreds of thousands of enemies for our troops.

Then we don't update their protections and security???? We are still using a law from 1992 - OVER 20 years ago - in regards to protecting our troops at home??? IE: They are not ALLOWED to protect themselves.

WTF???? Seriously WTF???

Why are our troops not allowed to protect themselves from the enemies that were FORCED upon them??? Why are our judges protected with arms - our airports protected with arms - but our Military are NOT allowed to be protected with arms???

How is this even f'n possible??? Seriously!!!

Our congress - who are protected with arms - and our president who is protected with arms - HAVE THE BLOOD OF THESE SOLDIERS DIRECTLY ON THEIR HANDS. Period.

This "gun free zone" for our troops who have thousands of deadly enemies forced on them NEEDS TO CHANGE TODAY. TODAY.

How can it continue - that the worlds most powerful military has to call the local 911 - and wait for them to show up - to stop the murders of their comrades. Something is seriously wrong with system in which the U.S. military has to call 911 - to stop ONE killer!!!

I am serious - this needs to change TODAY. Not next week - or next month. TODAY.

I think everyone in the military should start open carrying TODAY. What's going to happen if they openly decide to protect themselves and their comrades??

THESE HERO'S ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. Just think - this could have been your father, brother, daughter - I'm so disgusted right now - I want to scream!!
