Considering all the attacks against our troops on their home or allied/friendly soil (The Fort Hood attack, the attempted 2nd Fort Hood attack, the Frankfurt shooting, the Recruiting Station shootings.) the whole world is the frontline today. I think we are going to have to seriously reevaluate our training doctrine and our weapon carrying policies.
