Used to be true. Not since the Saudi shooting though... Unless something's changed real recently, need someone with a CAC to escort onbase at NASP now. Great response, right? Foreign national shoots up Americans, let's ban Americans from access to the museum.
How long can the museum operate if the public can't get to it? Maybe I am in a coma somewhere and all of this absolute f'ing craziness is a byproduct of whatever knocked me out.
I guess someone in a position of authority can now say they did " something". Not anything that made sense, but at least we didn't not take action. Under this plan the guy would have access, but a tourist would not? How does that make sense?
Someone that we were hosting attacked us, and this is the best they could come up with...
