They Shot Back

Apparently, the sailor murdered and one marine killed fired back at the Chattanooga jihadist with personal weapons that they were not supposed to have on base. I have only seen one report about this, but if true, it demonstrates that not all members of the military are willing to be sitting ducks. The report said that it was uncertain whether the uniformed personnel hit the terrorist. In any event, it shows some initiative on the part of our forces who would not comply with an idiotic order to make them defenseless. If you are entrusted with the nation's security, surely you must be trustworthy enough to protect yourself and your comrades or at least have access to the tools to try. The "gun-free zone" signs were obviously no deterrent to the murderer.
