“..when these plans for martial law start to directly affect the people, the people will respond.”

Yes, as they did in Boston during the search for the Tsarnaevs.

The people have been bred, cultivated, and selected for compliance. They will comply. Rare exceptions will be used for educational purposes.

I have read far worse grammatical errors on threads than this one to which you refer.

Do you disagree with the premise of the article or are you content with nit-picking?

Most of the top dogs remaining in our military are political animals and that is why their ‘services’ were retained.

I believe a clever culling was done by this evil Obama regime to rid the ranks of those who would disagree and countermand illegal orders.

Awhile back, a FReeper defended the building of this $170 million facility for ‘urban warfare training’.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/41258569/ns/us_news-life/t/million-mock-city-rises-marine-base/

Now we have this story and Jade Helm.

You train in an environment conducive to that which you expect to find your enemy.

What enemy is this, the $170M facility and Jade Helm preparing them for?

It’s merely a practice run for when underprivileged Flint low life need an attitude adjustment.

I’m convinced Obama has dismissed a significant number of military leaders because they voiced their objection to the thug-in-chief.

Flint makes Detroit look good and its probably a good place for training like this. Selfridge ANG base isn’t far by air and Flint has a wealth of abandoned buildings with less population than Detroit.

What “urban combat” zone?

Say Columbus, Ohio, Melbourne, Florida, San Diego, California, Salt Lake City, Utah....any number of potential zones.

Impossible.

Attack Muslim enclaves? Are you crazy?

What I’ve suspected all along....”our military” would really turn on us.

Brother did 3 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq—3rd Division Marine.

He said the same thing!

Of course! It’s SOP for tyrants to do just that before the take over.

I am also worried that some poor bastard with PTSD is going to be near one of these “exercises” and is going to think it’s the real deal and kill a lot of people!

I thought the same thing and it may not even be someone that has PTSD; just someone that feels threatened.

Also wondered about what happens if a round gets loose and lands in someone's living room. It is "training" and mortars don't care where they are aimed or what they blow up.

We had 21 helicopters come threw Traverse City a couple days ago. All were painted black. This is what my friend told me yesterday. I only saw two of them. Both of them were black colored blackhawks.

He probably figured the "/s" (sarcasm) tag was not necessary. We all know Obama wouldn't attack his own.

True! This is really stupid on the military’s part. At least inform the public what you are doing. Where I live every June we are “invaded” by our military plus that of other countries. But we know about it and it’s not a big deal.

“homes shook from the force of the simulated explosions.”

How do “simulated explosions” do all of that?
