Marines told to disarm before Panetta speech

[Marenco]

Looks like someone is afraid.

Frequently in the last 50 years. There were "red block" zones in Vietnam (instead of a magazine in weapons, painted red wood blocks were inserted in the magazine wells, so everyone knew the weapon was safe).

So the media, as usual, is just being ignorant when they call this move, "highly unusual"?

It is no secret that the morale and belief in the mission is very low. When that condition exists weaker troops break and breaking when the sec of defence in in the room might not be a good thing for the administration in power.

at the risk of sounding disrespectful:

paycheck = obedience.

sorry, ya'll. when the cash flow stops, then... just maybe... maybe....

And therin lies a subtle catch-22. The government will always have the "money" to pay for soldiers. At the rate we're going I think the military will account for half of the jobs out there.

"Gun Control" enforcement for the armed services in a war theater.

This is the essence of gun control. The elite want to disarm everyone except for themselves and their own private security. They don't like it, but it is necessary to train and arm some mundanes so that they can "Police" the masses. But in the presence of the elite, even the Police must be disarmed.

That is the message to take away from this.
