My guess is the first article is the stupid one.

Aren't there people in military uniform at like every high school? I seem to remember recruiters from the Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy at my high school just about every day. We all managed to deal with the emotional stress.

When I was still on active duty in the mid 90's we weren't allowed to do anything other than short convenience stops in fatigues. Now they travel in them and wear them everywhere. After everything that's happened at schools recently I can understand having misgivings about allowing "battle dress uniforms" on a school campus without prior notice that it would be happening. As far as I can tell the security guard did the safe, if not correct, thing.

This is probably the most laughable thing on the news. A low level security guard bars access to a school from an Army Lt Colonel while a Marine Corps principle sits on his ass and lets it happen.

If students are offended at the sight of a person in a military uniform in public, they are being taught incorrectly.
