“”It is imperative that Special Operations Soldiers receive the best training” in “core special warfare tasks, which help protect the nation against foreign enemies.”

The Army admits that the size and scope of Jade Helm “sets this one apart” from other multi-state training missions.”

Hmmm. Not sure how this all applies to states with high firearms ownership. Oh, yeah. The foreign enemies part. Uh, no that can’t be it.

“Not very camouflaged IMHO.”

They were big, unstoppable, and looking for a fight. It mattered not a whit if the Iraqis saw our forces first (they didn’t anyway) The orange was solely to prevent the USAF for shooting friendlies.

That badass force was the last war with Bob Hope, Battleships, A-4s and F-4s, and cigarettes,,,

LOL! Well basically the feds have ALL the acreage if they need it. Hard to plan aginst cactus and sage brush when there are so many “troubled” folks they can train against. Of course strictly for training for foreign assignments.

That was FBI HRT... but thanks for not missing the chance to smear an entirely decent group.

“Green Berets, SEALs and MARSOC are NOT “jackbooted thugs.””

That must be why they refused to assist the ATF train for the Waco fiasco. Oh wait,,,, they didn’t,,,,

No, it wasn’t HRT which works hand in hand with Special Forces, including a revolving door between the two.

It was Border Patrol.

“Green Berets, SEALs and MARSOC are NOT “jackbooted thugs.””

And to a degree you are correct. The soldiers, sailors, and Marines there (I refuse to use the term “operator” since my mom was one long before them) are good guys.
But they are lead by Officers who have gained position by staying quiet at Obamas agenda.

I want to believe they would refuse to attack US citizens, but history shows that all that needs to happen is to tell them that “those are terrorists”, and unleash them.

Nope but they are working for some. Never happen here though, right?

Arm Bands are common now, for safety reasons. About a decade ago during a similar type training event[Robin Sage]. The military[SF school] got involved with the local police force. Several guys got shot and injured because the military thought the police were part of the drill and the police thought they were bad guys.

These Hitler arm band references make me wanna puke. I don't know when FReepers got their common sense taken away.

I think wearing the tinfoil in direct sunlight is a bad thing. Thank God most Freepers have a bit more sense.

If some people want to call all of us who serve fascists or faggots, that’s their right—personally I don’t give a rat’s ass for their opinions. Their mothers and father’s said the same things about our parents who also served.

The logo for the Jade Helm drills, a sword with two arrows crossing it, it reads: “Master the Human Domain.” - See more at: http://www.thedailysheeple.com/jade-helm-15-military-drill-identifying-hostile-us-states-sparks-alarm_032015#sthash.438jJBUv.dpuf

Why don’t they just come out and say “we are going to OCCUPY your state for 2 long months and pretty much do as we please. Deal with it. A police state is a safe state” At least that would be honest.

SEALs train very hard for a short time to do a very specific task such as a snatch and grab or quick rescue op etc. They don’t do civil unrest. they are not Jackboot thugs and neither are the rest of the military but I am fearful they are buying the BS that this is some exercise for overseas activities.

The purpose of our military is for one thing only that is to train a bunch of warriors to go to foreign exotic places and kill people. Or in the event exotic foreign people try to invade our country the military is supposed to kill them. That’s about it.

Anytime the govt tells you the military is coming to your neighborhood for 2 months its not a good thing for you. I don’t blame the military I blame the government.
