The Pentagon on Sunday issued a directive instructing military recruiters to “close the blinds” for added safety in wake of the brazen Islamist terror attacks on two unarmed, unguarded military facilities in Chatanooga.
The Obama administration refuses to arm military recruiters following the attack that killed five marines. Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers.All U.S. military recruiters were ordered to wear civilian clothes instead of their uniforms at work as a security measure on Friday, and now the US Military is telling military personnel to “close the blinds” for protection.
Admiral Bill Gortney, head of the U.S. Northern Command directed on Sunday that recruiting centers nationwide should implement “modest new security measures as the Pentagon considers more concrete steps in the coming weeks.
The Department of Defense, instead of allowing the military to carry a weapon for protection, instead reportedly directs “recruiting centers, reserve centers and ROTC facilities to increase surveillance and take basic steps such as closing blinds at the offices.”
