I just watched the Fox and Friends interview with Joshua Watson’s family, USNA graduate. Absolutely heartbreaking. The three sailors standing watch had a 11pm-7am duty watch shift. Towards the end of their shift, the shooter arrived. And we lost 3 brave, selfless men who without a doubt saved lives.
Joshua Kaleb Watson was the Captain of the USNA rifle team, and expert marksman. He was shot at least 5 times, unable to defend himself with arm. That is such an ironic thing. Doesn’t seem right. Bases aren’t able to check every vehicle that enters. This has happened before. It will happen again.
I can’t think of a better place to ask what people think about this situation: should at least those standing watch and protecting their charge be armed? They are sitting ducks for those with intentions to destroy. Yes I know this happens other places and I’m not addressing that point, but the fact that these are trained military soldiers, who will defend our country against enemy....foreign and domestic...seems to me they should be able to do just that. Defend.
