      From the article:

      Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Thursday that he was lifting a ban on service members’ ability to carry personal firearms on U.S. military bases.

      “Our warfighters defend the rights to carry. They should be able to carry themselves,” Hegseth said in a video posted on social platform X.

      Hegseth said his memo directs installation commanders to permit requests from service members to carry personal firearms on base “for personal protection.”

      What could go wrong?

      This will not end well. Whether it be suicide, fratricide, or matricide, this will not play out like he thinks it will.

      If it’s a closed/restricted base, who the fuck do they need protection from? Their fellow brothers/sisters in arms? Like Whiskey Tango actual Foxtrot, Over?!?

      Having been in the military, I’ve NEVER seen a service member who would pull a gun on another person. NOT! The first weekend this is allowed, people will get shot.

      Oh good grief this will create a nightmare. He really doesn’t understand any of this…

      Hasn’t there been multiple mass murders on bases in recent years? There’s probably a reason that this was in place. There’s a reason the military or Leo’s don’t carry personal firearms for a reason. Full stop. See ice. I’m also assuming there’s a very nefarious reason this is being pushed aside.

    9. Gwyllithar on

      Yeah…there is a reason these rules were put in place.

      also, what do military personal, on secure bases, need protection from?

    10. Ok_Speech_3709 on

      ….And the murder and suicide rates on bases increased from that moment on.

    12. nono3722 on

      well if your going to stage an armed coup, you make sure your military loyalist are armed before the rest of the military gets the warning…… duh

      welcome to the midterms

      >*The secretary added that these requests can be denied, but that the “presumption is service members will be able to have their Second Amendment right on post.”*

      Not good for the wives and children in military families (past records of violence and murders back this up)

    16. HousingOk6362 on

      So this MFer is trying to tell us that our soldiers are not safe on military bases in the US ?

    17. Ex-maven on

      Any bets that Kegseth will ban servicemembers from carrying firearms on any base where he and/or Dear Leader are visiting? …in case someone experiences an intrusive thought

      putting a Fox News piece of shit in charge.. fuck all the Republicans for allowing this

      I once had a marine (he was drunk) pull a gun on me while I was picking up some food that was delivered. The base was a naval hospital so I assume he was there because he either got injured during deployment or was being treated (I was just a sailor stationed there). Anyways this random fucking guy had a gun dug in to my back, he had me drop my food, told me to turn around and had me get in the elevator. He then drunkenly smiled at me and told me to have a nice night.

      On military bases you have a lot of mentally unstable soldiers mixed with PTSD and other service related issues combined with LOTS OF ALCOHOL.

      Someone is going to get fucking killed by this idiotic decision.

      Gonna be a lot of base-model Chargers and Camaros flooding the used market through estate sales.

      Does anyone remember the Fort Hood shooting? That was a terrible tragedy. I’m fairly sure this policy will lead to similar events happening a lot more often. I have no idea how this is supposed to do anything apart from increasing the rate of shootings.

    27. DeadSuperHero on

      Speaking as a vet, the sheer amount of dumb shit that happens on base, that could potentially kill people, is already high. More often than not, the root cause is neglect towards following basic safety procedures.

      Carrying personal firearms is just going to make everything worse. It’s bad enough when someone in your unit gets a DUI, imagine what this will be like.

      It never ceases to amaze me, that sentence. Hegseth is far from the first to use it. ‚The god given right to carry a gun.‘ God was invented fourteen hundred years before guns.

      At a push you could claim a god given right to carry a spear. Or a slingshot.

      Biblically there’s probably a god given right to walk your ox around a military base.

    32. Zargoza1 on

      Wow.

      I’m sure there is no good reason that’s been a military regulation forever.

      Or it’s woke. Or something.

      I’m sure Hegseth is just smarter or tougher or both than all the woke military people that have been following that rule forever.

      /s

      Sarcasm over, that dude must have a half inch wiener to be constantly trying to prove something.

    37. huhMaybeitisyou on

      This won’t go well. A lot of young recruits spend too much buying too many guns and many of these people new to the armed forces are unstable and immature.
