Why don’t they send them to Detroit and Baltimore to get some real ‘training’!!!!
Oh that pesky Bill of Rights again!
Who woulda thunk that the 3rd would become as interesting an issue as the 2nd!
(Of course, the gummint will be claiming they were “welcomed”)
Must be Big Spring Texas?
TEXAS !?!
Amendment III: No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.[5]
Just in the first few paragraphs bring questions:
Mayor said “contracts SUPPOSEDLY offered to Big Spring homeowners”. What does “supposedly” mean? He’s not sure they were offered contracts? Or were they coerced?
Mayor said “but I don’t think we’re going to have people kicked out of their homes or [military personnel] knocking on doors in the middle of the night,” he said.
He doesn’t THINK the military is going to kick down doors?
Mayor said “residents will not be “forced out of their homes” to accommodate troops during the large-scale military exercise”. So, I assume it was discussed.
Well, the Third Amendment is one they haven't really shat upon yet.
I know a great way to bring this exercise to a screeching halt, because I have seen it happen before. I got to see a major military exercise halted for several days because of it.
Ban coffee sales to other than local residents, who can only buy “customary” amounts for their own use.
In that other exercise, soldiers were dispatched to drive hundreds of miles to buy coffee on a Sunday holiday with most stores closed, because many senior officers and NCOs refused to continue without it.
If nothing else, it would toss a huge monkey wrench into the exercise.
Prepper & HAM Radio PING
Would be very helpful if any amateur radio folks in the region could pass along info on the Jade Helm happenings.
Thank you!
I don’t know where they were headed. Yesterday I saw 6 MRAPs being hauled up I45 just south of Houston, on my drive home from work.
