The Associated Press<\/a> reports that Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter announced that the Department of Defense will alter some of it’s security procedures for bases across the country in response to the attack on a recruiting station and a Reserve Training Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee last year;<\/p>\n

Carter…said the military is clarifying its rules about when military personnel can carry weapons at recruiting centers and larger installations.<\/p>\n

He discussed the steps during a change of command ceremony for the U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado.<\/p>\n

The goal of the warning system is to notify personnel of a threat within a 20-mile radius in 10 minutes or less, Carter said. He gave no other details.<\/p>\n

The Defense Department will spend an extra $100 million over two years on protecting personnel in response to the July 2015 shootings in Tennessee, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the “warning system” can’t be activated until shots have been fired at military personnel, so the imperative, to me, would be to arm military personnel for their own protection. <\/p>\n

[Carter] said Friday the rules are being clarified “so that members who are appropriately trained and authorized by the commander of the installation can be armed, are armed right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the Pentagon is pushing the responsibility for next terrorist attack, the next death of a member of the military, down to local commanders rather than the Pentagon making the tough decision. But, then that’s what a bloated bureaucracy does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
