Marine and Air Force vets to roam the halls and guard the children in our schools with their weapons at the ready

What is the possible upside of hiring vets? Okay, they have training in warfare, but does he have a clue that is not who we need roaming the halls of our high schools? All right I realize I am asking rhetorical questions, but that is oft where I go when reality is off the rails.

Most school districts in the country are too strapped to be hiring folks to walk around strapped. "No, there's no money to hire more or better teachers, we can't fix the roof, and sure air conditioning's nice, but not really essential, but we have oodles of money to spend on mercs to prowl the campus grounds."

Also, would this be a good place to scrimp? You want someone to put his life on the line for $12.50 an hour? How do you suppose the teachers are going to react when six or seven guys are getting paid $100,000 a year (or more, prime costs) to stalk around campus with their trusty shootin' arns?

As always with Trump, his feel-good solution falls apart as soon as you subject it to the least amount of reality.

They'd fully expect teachers and schools to dole out the cash for firearms training and salaries.

Plus the actual firearms and ammunition.

School teachers are having to buy their own supplies to teach their students. Where the hell are they going to find the money to buy guns?

about what it seems to boil down to, Kong.

Yes, a lot of our teachers are already paying for school supplies out of their own pockets, ffs.

This - simply cannot happen -

It’s really bugging me right this moment that I can’t find a transcript today that includes his call for Marine and (I think it was?) Air Force vets to take up arms and patrol our schools...?? But, I did not make it up, that mofo SAID that!!

Well, I shall wait patiently (....) for that transcript, as I meanwhile thank you again!
