Troops Can’t Guard Schools in Camo but Fort Hood Shooter Can Keep His Beard

3 comments

troops-guard-schoolsIf ever George Orwell was laughing in his grave it’s now.  Our society and it’s promotion and acceptance of all things foolish, backwards and lacking common sense is teetering on the brink of 1984, if it hasn’t already taken the plunge.

Case in point the recent instances of discharged service members standing guard outside of elementary schools in the wake of the Sandy Hook Massacre. The honorably discharged men attempting to bring a sense of security to the schools as well as to the hearts and minds of the parents who have children enrolled there, made the mistake of wearing their camo fatigues while on guard. The government has issued stiff warnings to former Marine Staff Sgt. Jordan Pritchard and Craig Pusley(Pusley’s rank is currently being disputed, so I decided to skip the drama.  He served from 17 July 2007 to 8 April 2008 according to official military reports) and informed them that if they continued to dress out in official U.S. government combat gear and stand guard in front of schools that they could be fined up to $10,000, and/or imprisoned for 5 years, and/or be dishonorably discharged.

Nidal Hasan Beard

Nidal Hasan

The Orwellian twist comes when you consider the case of Maj. Nidal Hasan – the Army psychiatrist charged with 13 counts of murder in the 2009 shooting rampage at the Texas military base Fort Hood - who was allowed to break military court rules and keep his beard due to his supposed Muslim faith. Ironically Hasan was clean shaved when he allegedly went on the shooting spree, which at first glance may seem like a small variance, but one which is sure to help his defense team due to the fact that many eye witnesses to the crime may have a more difficult time identifying Hasan as the shooter because he’s been allowed to modify his appearance – a tactic many suspect may be more of a catalyst for the beard than his eagerness to impress Allah.

No gear for our guys standing guard protecting our kids but beards for a deranged lunatic who killed our hero’s, one of which was pregnant at the time she was shot in the back by the crazed Jihadist screaming Allah at the top of his lungs. Makes perfect sense, sure sure.

Why the soft, waxy warm rule bending for all things pertaining to radical Islam – our enemy, and the common enemy of a peace loving planet – while holding our veteran hero’s who are attempting to provide a valuable service, once again,  to the grindstone of rigidity?

This country has a lot of growing up to do in terms of the  government which creates and enforces the rules and the citizens who continue to allow that government to abuse the rulebook by bending it this way to appease their radical allies in the middle east and then back in the opposite direction when the rules are being applied to honest, hard working and patriotic Americans.

Vote in our poll and tell us if you’d object to a uniformed military guard at your child’s school or if you’d welcome one.


Would you support a uniformed military guard at your child's school?

   
  1. The young man you picture here was discharged as unfit for service while in boot camp-basic training, and knew he should not have been in uniform. he also told a tale of being deployed in both iraq and afghanistan and has never been outside of the USA.

  2. I would guarantee if we had the troops outside all the schools, all this school violence would stop… and I say shave all of him so it hits him real good when they do it… but the most important thing is that are children are safe from harms way and if an armed Military person is what it takes, then lets do it… luv the idea…

  3. The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army.

    The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.

    The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.

    The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion).

    These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard.

    Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, “the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United States.”

    The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militia (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached.

    During the war with England an attempt was made by Congress to pass a bill authorizing the president to draft 100,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 to invade enemy territory, Canada.

    The bill was defeated in the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that Congress had no such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the President to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country.

    The fact is that the President has no constitutional right, under any circumstances, to draft men from the militia to fight outside the borders of the USA, and not even beyond the borders of their respective states.

    Today, we have a constitutional LAW which still stands in waiting for the legislators to obey the Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold.

    Charles Hughes of the American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech which is contained in the Appendix to Congressional Record, House, September 10, 1917, pages 6836-6840 which states:

    “The militia, within the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the Army of the United States.” In these pages we also find a statement made by Daniel Webster, “that the great principle of the Constitution on that subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of Congress over it.”

    “This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly establishes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the unlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it would have been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money for that purpose.

    Conscripted armies can be paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the unlimited use of such power.”

    With approximately 9,000 annual firearm related homicides, and 559,000 deaths from heart disease annually in the United States according to the CDC, I say the White House and Congress, before they worry about guns, need to get some legislation passed against these cheeseburgers of death!!! ¹ ²

    I don’t even need to look the totals up for automobile related deaths, ban those, too!! Let’s see, come to think of it, I’m sure that both alcohol and cigarettes cause more deaths per year than firearms as well, ban those, too!!! Cancer is the number two killer in the United States, and GMOs have been clinically shown to have a correlation to a higher predisposition for developing cancer, and the FDA keeps approving those, let’s definitely ban those!!!

    The problem in America is not how many or what type of guns we have, it is our culture that is the problem. It’s not the guns, it’s the culture of fear and hatred created by our government and media, as well as the social conditions that our government has cultivated, look up CIA involvement with street gangs and the crack epidemic of the 80′s and 90′s.
