Trusting soldiers with loaded weapons? Preposterous!

Next thing you know they'll be requiring deployed personnel to carry weapons and loaded magazines with them at all times or not letting them enter the DFAC on the FOB without a weapon and ammunition.

The attitude of "can't trust 'em with weapons" prevalent in so many of the responses on this thread is the same mentality that has resulted in the reflective belt and clearing barrel approach to risk management. Training soldiers is too hard and trusting them to do the right thing is too risky, so let's slap a band-aid on it and make sure the boys have signed a roster stating they have received the mandatory briefing so my ass is covered.

It never fails to amaze me just how many military and LE personnel are anti-2nd Amendment because of their own smug sense of superiority.
