So. There's a video out there and a bunch of blogs mentioning that Marines are practicing take-down and control procedures of uncooperatives inside detention camps.
Just throwing this out there.
For later.
I read that as Internet camps
That’ll happen too.
News for you folks. I was doing this stuff as a National Gaurdsman in Iowa in the late 80’s. I did it in the regular Army a few times too.
This is not some kind of new scary thing being done. However, we must always be vigilant!
I saw one of those videos and I don’t think it’s really
preparing them for the opposition they would really get.
It will come as a shocking surprise.
Why would they use civilians to play the part of the civilians when they could practice on soldiers playing the part of civilians? Unless this is a psyop intended to scare us or get us used to this kind of treatment.
Why do I feel like our “leaders” are reading a dystopian work of fiction? And this time I don’t mean 1984 or Animal Farm.
Later
Stalin would be proud.
Why don’t they go practice at GITMO...?
I had to pull two weeks with the National Guard after I got out of the Army (draftees have a six year obligation including their two) and this is normal practice for the Guard. They're under call from their governors. The only time we practiced in the Army was during the Martin Luther King riots--to protect Federal installation.
Fixed it.
HARD to combat a home made Crossbow... and a “sciv” made from a tooth brush.. -OR- easy poison..
Ugh. One of the most heartbreaking moments in that film.
Yea. The real opposition will be outside the camps. When I was in the Corps we practiced crowd control and prisoner restraint frequently.
L
... because it could be an alternative future for us...
This also returned during the recent wars, where dealing with Muslim civilians in their homes and making arrests, revived a focus on teaching combat soldiers grappling and holds, for house to house searches and such.
In the Middle East out guys have been in intimate, police like, non lethal contact with the populations, and these skills were seen as important.
