US SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AFRAID HIS OWN SOLDIERS WILL SHOOT HIM!
Defense Secretary disarms his own soldiers! It's the first time ever enlisted men have been stripped of their guns during an address by their own secretary of defence. Less than a week after a US staff sergeant massacred 16 civilians in Kandahar, American soldiers were banned from bringing guns into a pep rally given by the Secretary of Defense at a base in Helmand province. Around 200 troops who had gathered in a tent at Camp Leatherneck were told to file outside and lay down their automatic rifles and 9mm pistols. "Somebody got itchy, that's all I've got to say. Somebody got itchy – we just adjust," said the sergeant who was told to clear the hall of weapons. Major General Mark Gurganus later said, "You've got one of the most important people in the world in the room," he told the New York Times, insisting that the decision was unrelated to Sunday's killings. "This is not a big deal." "We will be challenged by our enemies, we will be challenged by ourselves," said Panetta.
