Sergeant at arms

I see it was the sergeant at arms that shot dead the gunman in the Canadian parliament. What would ours do? Poke him with his pike?

lol STMO I remember some years back when a young squaddie was put on gatehouse duty and the then IRA started too shoot at him....he then asked his CO for permission to have some bullets for his gun...at least the Canadian sergeant at arms is at least armed

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

It would take our Sergeant at Arms half an hour to put his tights on and get his wig straight and then he would have to send out a carrier pigeon for Black Rod!  ::)  ;D

At least the Canadian Sgt at arms lived up to his title.

And was suitably trained to take an on the spot descision.

And was supplied with the required tools.

And, most importantly, provided with the support when it was needed.

Shame it's needed in the first place.....

Only because "badass problem solved" is not a recognised military rank...
