In wargaming at the MEF and Regimental levels, I've considered how an enemy might attempt to assault the southern CA area. The recent fires in So CA still havn't been very well explained, although if I were a foreign enemy commander, they sure seemed to have provided a wealth of operational data on populational response trends if SoCA were ever attacked. The fires formed a ring from Ensenada towards the desert and up north of LA to the coast. It didn't take full seige to measure the response capacity of the region and monitor reinforcement opeations.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the fires weren't well planned.

There is no doubt that the fires in So. Calif were well planned, if you go to the FR daily threads for them and only read the actual police reports that were posted, they were the same as were on the police sites, I checked.

Add in the stupidity of the gov, in refusing to use the military fire fighters and you have to wonder how deep in our gov, our enemies really are.

During WW2 there were submarines and attacks planned for our east and west coasts. The info is out there on them.

But many don't know how many planned attacks would have come from Mexico, by the Germans.

The old timers told me that the Germans attempted to invade from Mexico, and the whole convoy is still stuck in the Yuma Sand Dunes, not far from the mex border.

If you live near the dunes, you would understand how it could be possible. One day it is flat land that you see out the car window, as you travel the freeway. The next time you come through, the dunes will be 200' foot high.

Then there are the reports of the lost wagon train and some even believe that the 'lost ship with the black pearls', are in the same dune area.

Yesterday someone talked of taking out the satellites that would warn us of an attack. If that is done, I can move an army across the border into Wellton, across the bombing range. Have driven (and been stuck) in a Toyota and a Chev pickup, normal rigs.

Don't know if I can find the secret pass that we found, it was kept in almost graded condition, neither the Feds or local Deputies knew it existed.

Or you can land a chopper anywhere, but there are also nice and well maintained dirt landing strips that the dope smugglers keep up, one was a mile or so from the house.

I hung a blinking Christmas decoration in the window late one night, and a plane almost landed on my mobile.

Asked an old timer and he told me where to find the airstrip, hidden behind a small hill. Feds didn't know about it either.

I can't keep up with the current events or completely understand what much of it means, but history seems to always repeat itself and although we have nice new weapons that do wondrous things, I notice the military still digs a foxhole to work from.

Be safe,

There was something real odd about those fires. My friends have made several comments about some things. Mostly, they are thankful they made a move to get out of there, early on. They were expecting their first child and got out of the environment. They lived to be very thankful for the insight to go, and go early.
