Gunfight Breaks Out as San Antonio-Lackland Air Force Base Gate Guards Return Fire on Multiple Shooters Trying to Gain Entry

Gunfight Breaks Out as San Antonio-Lackland Air Force Base Gate Guards Return Fire on Multiple Shooters Trying to Gain Entry: 

For Spears, one of his biggest concerns is the fact that the directives apply not only to active-duty Army personnel, but also to inactivated members of the Reserve and National Guard. "When reservists and guardsmen are activated, they fall under the Uniform Code of Military Justice – but when not activated, they fall under civil law, like all other civilians," he explained. "The Army's new rules on so-called 'extremism' further erode the line between civilian and military life."

"This is a terrifying development that extends the Defense Department's intrusive reach into the personal lives of non-activated Reservists and National Guardsmen," Spears argued. And this, he concluded, "sends a chilling message across the force that must be overturned by the courts."
