Maybe if they hadn't been ordered to disarm..some would not have been killed in the first place!

  U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan are being ordered to carry loaded weapons at all times while on base, in response to a rash of Afghan soldiers and policemen turning their weapons on coalition forces.

No crap. I mean I carry EVERYDAY, here in the US, WITHOUT a population that WANTS to KILL ME. How stupid do you have to be?

Previously everyone over here had to clear their guns before entering into certain areas(DFACs for instance) but now they are required to stay hot all the time. Which personally I dont like. There is always that officer with a rear facing pistol holder that always seems to be aimed right at me.
