Donald J Trump’s (DJT) Agenda:
Since DJT is doing such a wonderful job of shaking up our hopelessly ossified/bloated Federal System, including our military services (aka: “The Swamp”), here is yet another “radical” suggestion:
I’ve editorialized many times against the weak, diffident, mistrustful philosophy that virtually defines our current “unarmed” Services.
With DJT now in office, we have a window of opportunity to officially endow our military Officers and NCOs with the very “good faith and confidence” to which we now give only hollow lip service.
All our military Officers and NCOs should routinely “go armed” (concealed pistols) at all times, on and off base. The authority to do so will be federal, and thus, it supersedes all local and state laws and regulations.
Of course, this will require compulsory training since military personnel, regardless of rank, currently have scant idea of what to do with a pistol (the unhappy case for the last one hundred years)!
Discreet, professional concealed carry is an art that requires specific equipment, training, and philosophical grounding and needs to be taught by experienced instructors who do it routinely.
Specific knowledge of how all this fits into our criminal justice system, indeed the entire “concealed-carry lifestyle,” including guns in the home, is also essential since these Officers and NCOs will be armed all the time, no matter where they go.
Like our now well-established Armed Commercial Pilot Program, or Federal Flight Deck Officer Program (FFDO), this new imperative will be vehemently opposed, indeed sabotaged, at every turn by timid leftists, both in and out of our military, who are deathly afraid of guns and armed patriots. And, they’ll endlessly, loudly clamor that this can never work.
They always do, just as they did in 1776.
Yet, this needs to be!
And now is the moment it needs the go-ahead from DJT!
Hundreds of my capable and experienced colleagues will be delighted to donate their time and expertise to help make this historic change a success.
We need to get this on DJT’s Agenda.
“‘Impossible’ is a word that should be conspicuously absent from your vocabulary, Sir!”
My reply to a Marine Colonel who used that word as he expressed fear of the “hot range” I was running with his troopers at Camp Pendleton, CA, several years ago.

Why concealed? If off duty, in civilian clothes, okay. But if they are in uniform why not open carry?
I’d rather see all of the ridiculous on-post gun control regulations rescinded.
“Every Marine, A rifleman “ needs to expand to “And every man armed” for the whole US Military. Disarming our service members creates an atmosphere of distrust and can make them feel like they’re being used, as well as creating literally soft targets.
Great F’ing idea. More special privilege’s for the more equal animals on the animal farm. Way to bro vet, dude.
Here’s an alternative thought; an executive order stating that the 2A is the license/permit for every US citizen. Any US citizen who is not currently incarcerated can own and carry guns openly or concealed anywhere they damn well please.
Sounds good, but why just Officers and NCO’s? Trump seems to be performing far more aggressively now than in his first term and I hope it continues.
I do wish he would re-visit this promise from before he took office in his first term. It is STILL an excellent idea!

While in uniform sure, but it should be a mater of personal chose when off duty. But on or off duty they should be allowed to carry off base regardless of civilian encroachment.
Had this policy been enacted, the last 4 attacks on bases across America would have been met with the force required to stop the threats that were attacking our men and women on American bases with no, or minimal loss of life.
The opposition prevents most personnel from even being armed on base. Even Pearl Harbor! Bill and Hillary Rodent Clinton did that.
