Because we’d rather have dead recruiters than be publicly embarassed

The Pentagon asked Friday that individuals not stand guard at the military recruiting offices in the wake of the deadly Chattanooga terror attack.

I happily note that the governor of my home state, North Carolina, has signed orders that allow our National Guard troops to be armed while on their bases and at recruiting centers.  I have seen one who was very obviously armed with a sidearm.  I don’t much care for Gov. McCrory, but he got this one right.
