Military Recruiting Station Bombed in Times Square

There have been numerous attacks on military recruiting stations and military recruiters by anti-war “peace” activists since the war on terror started.

The anti-war pieces-of-shit have taken it up another notch this morning by exploding an IED outside of a military recruiting office in Times Square this morning. Thankfully no soldiers were injured during the blast. Unfortunately, neither were the fucking cowards who set it off.

This makes me sick to my stomach for a number of reasons. But mostly because my little brother is an Army Recruiter. He used to command a recruiting station in South Houston. I’ve heard more than one first-hand account of his recruiting station being vandalized (to include their personal vehicles parked out in the parking lot).

The thought that a fellow American would set a bomb outside of my little brother’s recruiting station makes me see red. I would spend the rest of my life tracking down and trying to kill the person responsible for doing this if it killed my little brother.

There is, however, a way to stop this. And I’ve written about the solution a number of times:

…when Recruiting Stations and the Soldiers who are posted there come under attack, they should be allowed to defend themselves and the property of the U.S. Government:

And I stand by that statement in regards to these ingrates at UCSC — the moment that rock hit the military SUV, they [the Soldiers inside the SUV] should have stopped and engaged the enemy. You might think this extreme — I don’t. We’re at war, and these kids have chosen to become domestic enemies of the US military.

And this has nothing— NOTHING — to do with their First Amendment rights, either. They don’t have the right to attack military personnel. They don’t have the right to destroy and steal military property.

And this bears repeating:

The Army recruiters should simply post a man 24/7 inside the front window, and he should be allowed to use any weapon for which he is qualified (9mm pistol, M-16 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, M2 .50 Cal rifle, etc.) to defend his post against these latte-fueled, sense-of entitlement, ungrateful idiots from further attacks on US Military property and personnel.

Yes. I am advocating the defensive shooting of college students (or other professional protesters) who engage in acts of vandalism and physical attacks against US Military property and personnel as a “justifiable” and “reasonable” form of dissent or protest.

Military Recruiting Stations should be regarded and protected to the same degree that military bases and posts are — armed guards should be posted. Heavily armed soldiers. And any attack on the soldiers or on their duty post should be regarded as an act of war. And the response should be immediate and harsh.

I hope that whomever is responsible for this is found. Soon. And then I hope they are sent where we detain other enemy combatants — Gitmo. With no special treatment or provisions. Just throw them in a cell with a bunch of Islamic jihadists. See how long they last in there.

The JawaReport notes that the waste-of-lives at the DailyKos are already blaming — the right wing. Yeah. Because that’s who has a rabid history of attacking and denigrating our soldiers.

BlackFive:

Well, Berekeley upped the ante; and, now it appears someone has met them and raised again by setting off some form of explosive device at a military recruitment office in/near Times Square.

Pamela at Atlas Shrugged chimes in the KosKids:

And you know what CBR, you are absolutely correct. Do you want to know why, the reason is because you are more than happy to surround your self and associate with those who openly hate and attack those who defend us. You support groups like Code Pink and MoveOn.org who call our soldier’s baby killers and murderers. You clap when “students” swarm and destroy recruiting stations and you support world leaders who actively call for the destruction of the very country that defends your right to do so.

Is this event going to be used to attack the left? You’re damn right its going to be used to attack the left, because the left has allowed and even welcomed the militant anti-American into their ranks, and you deserve all of the bad press that goes along with it.

Fuck the anti-war left. Fuck every single last one of them. How much longer do they think we’re going to let them get away with this shit before we start fighting back?

UPDATE from Pam:

UPDATE: Dan Maloney over at the Gathering of Eagles tells me, “this is the recruiter location that the Gathering of Eagles has most often defended against the domestic insurgents of the radical left”. More here.
