The fine men and women of our armed forces are, by and large, a cross-section of our country, and our culture. Just because someone has been trained on how a weapon works doesn't mean they should all be toting one around freely. And I can tell you personally there are folks in the military that probalbly shouldn't be. Plain and simple. So yeah, there's no need to have them all armed, all the time, same as life outside the fortress walls.
