Thornberry: Worries about Operation Jade Helm 15 ‘silly’
The Dallas Morning News ^ | May 4, 2015 | Sylvan Lane

Posted on 05/04/2015 6:08:42 PM PDT by EveningStar

The chairman of the House Armed Services committee called concerns about a special forces training exercise in Texas “silly” on Monday, dismissing conspiracy theories of impending martial law

His comments come a week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the State Guard to monitor the exercise, a move widely criticized by Democrats and some Republicans.

“These are incredibly capable, patriotic Americans and the notion that they’re going to be some sort of private army for the president to take away all our guns is just silly,” said Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon.

A good representative would wonder why the government has earned such mistrust.

Ok. How about an accounting of federal dollars? Got a problem with that? Is that silly?

Yes, they are all that you say...and as a result of that, they will obey the orders of those appointed above them, even as they spit his name.

I'm glad someone is just making sure that they become just a little too "subservient" to obonzo.

A lot of the senior leadership in our armed forces are now trending to warm and fuzzy liberal crap, as opposed to being warriors and a protector of the citizenry.

I served under Jimmah Cottah...and he did his best to reduce us to lunch ladies and hall monitors.

So do not underestimate the current piece of crap we have in the White Hut...as far as unduly influencing our young soldiers via the ass-kissing sycophants we now have leading them.

Apparently,Thornberry has caught Potomac Fever. He doesn’t believe that land owners have the right to keep the military from trespassing on private land. He needs to be primaried next year.

Just because Alex is paranoid doesn’t mean he is always wrong.

And you sound naive.

If 8 years of a damned Clinton and now nearly 8 of that damned obozo hasn't convinced you that dim/libs are capable of anything, then you will never see it.

I fear for my country.

And who the hell is Alex Jones?

Your posting history says everything that needs to be said about you.

Of course, the best part for me is that I can and do send money to the Cruz campaign because I know who I want to be the primary winner.

Most of the whiners don't actually donate to anyone. They are happy with whoever the GOP-E or media pick.

Who is Alex Jones? Never heard of him.
