I've seen people draw exclusion letters before, but usually it is for real crimes committing on base, or for harassing a servicemember. This, right here, is a commanding officer being a vindictive dick just because, and I suspect that there is more to this story that is being reported.

I guarantee people are carrying on that base on a daily basis, they just don't declare their firearm to the gate guards.

Also, Hegseth's recently issued guidance does not apply to retirees, so that video is besides the point.
