The disarming of the GI's has been going on for years. When my uncle was drafted and in training prior to going to Viet Nam, they were not allowed to carry weapons on base. Then after they got to Nam the weapons were taken up every night (while on base) and locked up. Someone's parents finally, supposedly, wrote their Senator and the soldiers (in Nam) were allowed to keep their weapons all the time. This was early in the war, about 65-66. I also remember reading about the guys at Pearl Harbor having to wait for someone to unlock the weapons and ammuniton lockers so those guys could retrieve a weapon to shoot at the japanese with. So I guess this has been a policy for decades. I never served, so I'm sure those of you who did will know a lot more about it.
