So a guy giving children assurance that they can come to school and be safe, a former marine who fights for our freedoms, is now an idiot and someone who is actually terrorizing the children. You people are off your rockers. Do you hate all military or just former marines??
I'm not sure what you are seeing here is an anti-military action, but a reaction from uber-gun-nuts who wish he were standing there with a grenade launcher... Because to them the ONLY solution is more guns. Improved mental health interventions, uniformed security personnel on the school grounds, and even the feelings of security of a 7 year old all take a back seat to the importance of proliferation of weaponry to these people. It's insanity.

I just read a couple posts where the guy was called an idiot and was terrorizing the children or was mentally unstable due to serving and shouldn't be around the school. I guess I call BS when I see it.
How about the National Guard of your State maintains a guard post at every school during school hours. And they don't dress in their military uniform. They wear some kind of a school uniform so they don't influence the children. They just maintain their post and watch the cameras.
How about it be duty for good conduct? The last 6 months or 9 months of your enlistment you get to do school guard duty and then an honorable discharge?
Nice of the sergeant to take time out of his busy day to stand out there.
Now, if he anticipates a shooter showing up, perhaps he should go to his local Target at pick up a bullseye, because a clearly unarmed Marine will get the first bullet.
If the purpose is to make people feel good, might I propose a clown costume?
Can't disagree with this at all.
