So since Consultant knows people in the military and, as he says, that somehow gives him ties to the military, does that mean he's in the military?

Also, do you think this occurred under Bush as well or did it start with Obama's administration?

well i'm sure when they say ties its more then hey i know that that guy. and probably heppend under bush also. i'm not blaming the president i'm not one of the resident obama haters. but i assume when the president finds out something like this hes gonna do a face palm. i coulda gone with your everyday face palm pic. but i thought i'd go with a presidential one.

no firearm is issued to me. Furthermore, if the guards are on in on the attack, a gun will not help. They will simply let the truck full of explosives onto the post. It will detonate before you have time to say WTF, much less shoot someone.

In Germany (where I am at most of the time) the Air Force still guards its bases with MPs. The Army posts (Where I am usually at when I am not outside of Germany) are guarded by contracted local nationals. I do not like that.

Are you at Ramstein?

No, but I do take the family over there sometimes. They have a HUGE BX that has a lot of stuff our PX here does not have. Most of the time, I work in Heidelberg, but I am often on temporary deployments to less safe places.
