The Texas congressman is joining others in his state calling for the Pentagon to alter the Jade Helm 15 military exercises.
May 5, 2015 U.S. Special Operations Command is preparing to launch a five-month, multi-state exercise across private and public land to prepare Army special forces for threats anywhere in the world. Or at least that's what the Pentagon would want you to believe. Officials and citizens in Texas, one of the states involved, see something potentially more nefarious in the exercise, dubbed Jade Helm 15. And now Rep. Louie Gohmert is joining them.
"Over the past few weeks, my office has been inundated with calls referring to the Jade Helm 15 military exercise scheduled to take place between July 15 and September 15, 2015," Gohmert said in a Tuesday statement. "This military practice has some concerned that the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law. Certainly, I can understand these concerns."
"When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even 'cling to guns or religion,' patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned," Gohmert wrote.

I just hope I get the chance to see some of the idiots I know who still love this guy face to face when it all goes down.
So do I!
Well, SOMEBODY KNOWS!
And, I want that SOMEBODY to blow the FReeping whistle on the bad guys!
I have a serious question for you. They’re only using 2,000 S.O. troops to train for what they may be called upon to do in countries with similar terrain. Are you saying if what they’re training for takes place in a foreign country only those 2,000 who trained in Texas will be needed to respond? What happens when half of those who are trained decide to leave the military? Now there are only a thousand to do the job.
You sound like an escapee from DU in suggesting that members of Free Republic should be committed for their personal beliefs. Sickening.
Add to that tiny military footprint ALL of DEA, ATF, Federal Marshalls, Border Agents, FBI, CIA, NSA, all the local and State Police who don't join the citizenry, and all the millions of Federal Gov't workers who Obama bought 100-million rounds of 9mm ammo for, and the picture gets considerably uglier.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Or you're an idiot.
Like I said you are math challenged.
