<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nFox News<\/a> reports that Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno says that the Army has no plans to arm recruiters;<\/p>\n Gen. Ray Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, told reporters that arming troops in those offices could cause more problems than it might solve. <\/p>\n “I think we have to be careful about over-arming ourselves, and I’m not talking about where you end up attacking each other,” Odierno said during a morning breakfast. Instead, he said, it’s more about “accidental discharges and everything else that goes along with having weapons that are loaded that causes injuries.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’d remind folks that during the “green on blue” attacks against our soldiers, which claimed more than 50 lives, Odierno presided over the policy that forbade some soldiers from having a loaded weapon around the very people who were killing them – Afghans in a combat area. The odds that Odierno would consider arming the people for whom he is responsible is negligible. <\/p>\n The “accidental discharge” excuse is intellectually vacant. He’s just dancing for his bosses who are scared of armed Americans. It’s simply ridiculous to assume that armed soldiers will start playing with their loaded weapons until an accident occurs. I’m sure the soldiers currently under Odierno’s command are heartened by his confidence in them.<\/p>\n Meanwhile in Hiram, Georgia<\/a>, Americans are filling the gap that Army leadership won’t fill;<\/p>\n “To think the people who are supposed to protect and serve us are unable to protect and serve… protect themselves,” said Tewellow. “So if us, the citizens, who carry permits, are able to help protect them that’s, that’s what we’re gonna be able to do.”<\/p>\n News Radio 106.7’s Nathalie Pozo was at the recruitment center on Friday morning and reported that about 30 people answered the call to arms.<\/p>\n “This is who is fighting for us,” said Tewellow. “This is who is giving us our freedom, who allows us to wake every day and if they’re not here, and is taken down just like the Chattanooga incident, then how can we say that we are going to be able to wake up tomorrow?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There, does that make you feel better, Ray? Now, people trained to defend themselves and handle their weapons as part of their lifestyle are being protected by random folks off the street with about 8 hours of training.<\/p>\n
