Disgusting

 

I would really like to comment but I fear anything I say can, and will, be used against me.


Agreed

 

dang shame

 

What are WE going to do about it?

Nothing. Well we might whine and bitch on the internet but that's about it. Meanwhile another grievance is occurring.

 

The reality is we can't do much for this unfortunate hero but we can change the people who make these policies when we enter the voting booth.

.

 

Maybe everyone should petition te president like everyone did for Loin.
Now that is Crazy.

 

The navy does some retarded stuff, I've seen some real gems first hand, but this really takes the cake.

 

When right is wrong and wrong is right.......that is the world we live in.

 

You'd think people might see we have issues if you are getting persecuted for doing the right thing?

 

If this is true then it is a very sad flipping day. When a man or women serving in our military defends his brothers in arms by any means necessary and then gets charged for it because it wasn't a military issued weapon is a sad day in deed. I hope this is all a dog and pony show and just to make sure its known they don't like it when you do it.

 

Any other sources for this? Before I get all Rabble Rabble, I want to make sure I elevate my BP for a reason.

If true: Yet another reason the Navy is super gay

 

I've heard that it's false.

13 in a row buddy. THIRTEEN.

 

As mentioned before I have no rainbow flags to fly but I'm in for a good protest.

 

No but you did get that rainbow tattoo didn't you?

 

I ain't got rainbow nuthin'.

 

Navy says it ain't true...I hope it ain't

Agreed. Problem is, the way things have gone this kind of story is too plausible to ignore. My suspicion is that someone was actually considering bringing up charges but when West blew the whistle on them it got dropped, swept under the rug and denied. Fits the MO, that's for sure.

 

I wonder how Bowe Bergdahl is doing lately....

 

Officer who fired at Chattanooga shooter could face charges

Published on Aug 2, 2015

Navy considering charges against Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White for exchanging fire with the Chattanooga shooter
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White has confirmed that he opened fire on the Muslim terrorist* who killed four Marines and a sailor in attacks on two military facilities in Chattanooga, TN, on July 16.
White and one of the Marines killed in the assault opened fire on the terrorist with their personal handguns. It has not yet been released whether or not White and the Marine fired shots that hit the terrorist.

As the commanding officer at the facility, White would appear to have the authority under Department of Defense regulations to allow men under his command to be armed, but that has not been confirmed, and it seems doubtful that personal weapons would be authorized even if he did have the authority to have weapons on-site. While he likely saved lives, Lt. Cmdr. White runs the distinct risk of a court martial for daring to violate a dangerously outdated policy.

The national conversation on arming on-duty personnel seems to be falling on deaf ears in the Pentagon, which fears that allowing troops to carry personal weapons on base is a security risk. They fear such a policy will increase the likelihood of on-base attacks by members of the military, like both of the Fort Hood shootings, which were carried out by uniformed soldiers illegally armed with their private weapons.

 

Well, in all honesty, the thread did start with

Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.

So going from text message to twitter is a step up...

 

Save your anger for when/if they actually do bring up charges. Anything else is conjecture at best.

 

Agreed.
