Soft Targets

It is a strange world where the most powerful military in the world has to figure out how to keep lone gunmen from roaming our bases and slaughtering our highly trained troops.

How is it that our military bases are soft targets?

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is planning to order a review of physical security and access to all US military installations worldwide, a senior Pentagon official said Tuesday, one day after a Navy reservist with a troubled history killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard.

Because I'm thinking American bases plus American troops plus American loaded weapons should mean that nutballs choose anything but an American military base to work through their anger and mental health issues.

UPDATE: We do know how to fortify bases to make them impregnable death stars.

UPDATE: If true, this is incomprehensible.
