"Following Wednesday's deadly attack that left four dead, including the gunman, Texas Rep. Mike McCaul suggested Sunday that military personnel should be allowed to protect themselves - in the event of an on-base shooting - with concealed weapons. But White House officials and several other lawmakers quickly rejected the idea."

Well, the truth is that servicemen are just "cannon fodder" anyway, aren't they? You have to expect to lose a few here and there. In fact, they would be of no use at all if they WERE too precious to lose. You couldn't send them anywhere then, could you? If any of them have problem with that, they
should not have joined up in the first place.
