Pentagon grounds more than 300 Saudi trainee pilots in the US for 'safety' reasons

More than 300 Saudi Arabian military aviation students have been grounded as part of a 'safety stand-down' after a Saudi Air Force lieutenant shot and killed three people last Friday at a US Navy base in Florida.

The FBI has said US investigators believe Saudi Air Force Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, acted alone when he attacked in Pensacola then was fatally shot by a deputy sheriff who was first to respond.

The US Defense Secretary said he had instructed the armed forces to review both security at military bases and screening for foreign soldiers who come to the United States for training after the shooting.

Don’t train them at all. Turn S A into a parking lot and take their money and their oil. They are not our ally.

It's simple. Just ground them. No explanation necessary, just point to 9/11. Why do we continually have to explain our actions? It is more than evident to all anyway.

They want to be trained, let their own countries train them, in their country.

Why are we training the enemy? I have a feeling it is so some American companies can sell their planes and other products. Stalin once said "we will hang you and you will sell us the rope to do it"

Northwest Woodsman: Military bases are the most disarmed gun free zones in the country. Been that way as long as I can remember. The blockheads that successfully negotiate the political system and become commanders must fear a coup over their generally stupid policies. Spent 26 years in that system and recall many ignorant policies based upon a commander’s personality or that of his spouse.
