What I find disturbing is that POS obama and his lackadaisical response to the shooting, his demeanor, body language and tone seemed to have presented as it was really no big deal.

If he did make a big deal of it, the kooks would accuse him of using it as a photo op.

I am not suggesting the moron go all out jerimiah wright on the situation, but damn atleast show some damn concern for the men and women of the military, and try to act like a Commander in Chief.  I am sure your lil photo op with the indians could take a back seat for a while and they would understand.

as for the bush crap, how much longer, really guys.  It matters not to me I hated him just as much as I hate obama.

Common Citizen, as a weapons instructor and armorer, I find a couple of things humorous about your statement about the beretta m9.  First of all you shouldnt be letting the enemy EVER get that close thats what your primary weapon is for.  Second if your beretta m9 has been properly brass checked (loaded), it will be as follows, round in the chamber with loaded mag installed, safety/decocker off, and hammer back.  You should easily be able to pull the trigger and discharge your weapon.  My use of force ladder was rather convoluted, but when it came to someone reaching out to grab my weapon it was very clear.  Aim and pull the trigger.  Seems like a lot of worry for a situation that should never present itself.

Have you ever had to walk through a night club on post with your weapon secured in the suicide holster that we were issued and ordered to patrol without a round in the chamber??  I did.

...and we had to abide by OUR use of force rules or be scrutinized and reprimanded by the chain of command.

Well whomever made the choice to have you patrol without a round chambered probably had their reasons.  As far as my convoluted use of force ladder goes yes it was messed up but there was the skip to shoot section for very specific situations.  You have to realize I was a weapons instructor on a firing line. We would start our duty day by picking up cases of ammo from the ammo dump and then proceed to the armory and pick up racks of weapons and transport them to the range.  Our primary duty was the security of said weapons and ammo and then the teaching on the firing line.  All of our weapons were in "condition one".  Someone reaching and grabbing for your person or weapon skipped them to the top of the ladder and approaching bullet magnet status.  Any other out of the ordinary action with a weapon other than directly shooting at another student and they would be ordered to stop repeatedly and upon the third issuance of the order and subsequent disobedience would result in them becoming a bullet magnet.  There were many other instances where the number of times you had to order a subject to do or not do something would fluctuate, and that is why I would call in convoluted as it was not uniform.  Yes I have pulled my weapon and taken up around 6 pounds of the 8 pound trigger pull on my issue Beretta due to a student not following orders.  I have also left the muzzle impression on the back of the neck of a civilian that didnt listen when told to back away from the transport vehicle.  BTW I wasnt finding fault with what you mentioned just said it was humorous.  As I have students bring up some of those same things in class.
