Let's not forget that Nadal Hassan shot 43 people, 13 fatally, at Fort

until a civilian police officer arrived some time later that Hassan was
shot and wounded. If the army can't stop a guy like this, how is a
kindergarten teacher supposed to?

It was a gun control area. Nobody was allowed to carry weapons. The
people were trained, but not armed. Most bases in the states have the
weapons in the armory. I was stationed on an airbase, Travis, that had APs
at the gates and the only other armed people were the guards out on B52
line.

That's interesting. All those trained people. More guns = more
safety... why don't they trust them?

We were not in a war zone. I sat in an electronics shop fixing radar
units, or was in an airplane wrenching on a radar unit. Did not need the
tool, a weapon, in my job. Yes, we did go to the range and qualify yearly.
But we were not in a combat situation. The APs on the flight line for the
B52 were guarding nuclear armed planes. Was a retirement then. I guess
you never were in the service, or had other than an assembly line job where
you were not required to think. If I dad been in a war zone, I would have
been issued a weapon and kept with me while wrenching on planes.

But we are talking about a whole, very large military base. Oh, and one
that is home to a brigade of MP's!

So was Travis AFB. All military air traffic to the pacific basically goes
via Travis. In the US and most Likely all other military bases not in a
war zone, very few are armed.

But, but, but... It's a big army base with all little green army men.
Don't they all have bazookas and flack jackets to go to english class!!!

Really, you have explained it to him fourty times, just like I have
explained it to jon fourty times, they don't want to know cause they are
afraid of the answers...

Fort Hood is home to a full BRIGADE of MP's. Also there are MP's
everywhere on base, armed, just like cops in civilian life. Didn't seem
to help, did it?

Just like cops in civilian life. They are to catch the bad guy. Legal
rulings have held that cops are not liable for not stopping crimes.
