Pensacola Shooting

Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed this week what those of us who have commanded military bases and fought terrorism for decades already knew, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula inserted one of its jihadist operative’s into the Royal Saudi Arabian Air Force, managed to get him accepted into military flight training, and attacked a military target at the Pensacola Naval Air Station training facility. The jihadist attacker managed to kill three US sailors and injure many more. These are all very troubling facts, but more troubling is the lack of appropriate response by base commanders, and senior commands, including the Pentagon.
