I'll go ahead and post this since it as after the fact.
Perhaps they were going to secure Trumps speech location yesterday at the wall... one can only speculate :D

1-11-21 FULLY ARMED MILITARY UNITS SEEN MOVING IN TEXAS USA!

"Comment 1: To the folks wondering this is not training reason I know this is because I am a veteran and former guardsman and we would never mount our .50 cals, 249's , 240B's ,or MK19's with live ammo on our vehicles and the ammo would be locked into a vehicle that is clearly marked explosives especially traveling down public highways or gas stations because we would not want to worry the civilians and cause a panic."

Comment 2: "I wasn't a tanker in the Army, I was 11H (mech killer) however and I can confirm that munitions and weaponry ARE NOT loaded up like that on a patrol...that just does not happen because of the consequences (You figure out what I mean). My question is why would the be at a truck stop (other than fuel, does beg the question of WHY the convoy)..So IMHO something is afoot."

Wondering what that truck stop location was in the video. The guy who posted the vid was asking too. I have no knowledge on the armed part. But when I lived near Fort Hood it was not unusual to see tanks and military vehicles on the road or at a store. Not an everyday usual thing, but also not unusual enough to draw attention.

I was a 19K M-1 Tanker. We only drew weapons, commo gear and night vision for live fire exercises. Ammo was never part of the equation. That was doled out at the time of live fire. Someone on the tank is accountable for all that crap and stopping at rest areas and truck stops would keep me up night. Two machine guns (coax and loaders) extra barrels, M2 machine gun, extra barrels, drivers night vision, radios, personal weapons, and other field equipment. All that s#@t needs to be cleaned to turn back in. It a serious deal to draw all that stuff. I have shoulder to shoulder walking a training area looking for someone’s 1911. It not fun. Just would rather leave all the stuff back in the rear if we didnt need it for the mission.

ThankQ for that information; PDJT has gone to the Wall before, but not with mil escort.
Could have been for Austin capitol security.
Or gone to the Wall previously.

Alamo Texas is right near McAllen, which is about 4 hours south of Austin.
