Rules of engagement are different in the US. For instance, the Marines generally are not allowed to carry weapons on US soil unless they are on internal security. I would guess that none of the Marine recruiters were packing. Want to know why, ask the last 20 Presidents.
OBL is still quite active it appears.
Uhhh..(IMO) Having guards defend the museum at Quantico is an internal security question...
Sounds different from the Army..we carried weapons to the range and on FTX's...or our own personal weapons when hunting on the reservation...
Simple fact is, my grandson,being a Marine armorer, is cycling some 16,000 M-16 variants plus other individual and crew served weapons as his daily task, as well as bringing his personal guns onto the reservation for recreational purposes.
BTW: As far as "rules of engagement" in the US there should be no "engagement" with US Civilians...unconstitutional, you know...
Clinton's bloody fiasco at Waco notwithstanding...
Surely, if C-in-C Clinton could snuff nearly a hundred American men, women & children without repercussions, surely C-in-C B Hussein could take out one terrorist without a whimper !
Rather makes on ponder...if it had been Reagan or Bush who destroyed those American lives at Waco..would the major media been as coperative and dutifully stay a miole or two away from the action ?
