Sure, they're high speed, low drag by Air Farce standards.

Still a cut or two below your average leg infantry soldier in the Army.

They already have been doing that for years. I drive onto a guarded MCAS every time I go to work.

Once again...making it more difficult to get on base just puts more cars out on the street for the terrorists to blow up. Adequate but not wasteful measures should be taken.

All a lone wolf has to do is attend a gun show. It does not matter how many MPs are guarding a gate.

John

People are massacred everyday in America and people think that having the armory on base let everyone carry weapons is going to stop the terrorism.

WTF

Some folks are highly pissed the POTUS didn't order flags lowered in their honor. I know he commented on the event itself, but not on this recent development afaik.
One might speculate that line of duty military deaths aren't usually acknowledged thus.
