No, there is a difference here. IMHO, this is not about a recruiting office, this is urban warfare on out downtown streets. Not appropriate.
Build a mock up somewhere in the sticks and practice there. Allowing the troops to be seen by the American sheeple drilling in our streets throws up a whole lotta red flags for me. If the sheeple get used to seeing it, and someone one day uses the troops for law enforcement, then there will be a whole lot of folks passive on the idea.
No, find another way to train in urban warfare. Does not belong in our cities...
He is embarassed because he fears the rooted core of his dieing city will be exposed to national scorn.
As I said on the ongoing previous thread, there was no need to waste the travel time/money going to Detroit South, (Toledo.)
We have lots of "Urban" right here in Grand Rapids.
Mayor Carty Finkbeiner? Finkbeiner? LOLOL!
Interesting that they passed the place they need to be, Dearbornistan, MI, on the way to Toledo, OH. Any Toledoites listening: Has the slime from Dearbornistan oozed its way southward into Toledo?
The name kind of says it all ... you Huckster types out there in FReeper land beware.
I hope they are on their way to continue this exercise in Berkeley !
Marines to Mayor.....make us leave!
I wonder why?
Toledo Islamic Academy
Toledo Islamic Academy was established in 1994 and has seen exponential growth and expansion. What started out as a little idea somehow became a reality.
Toledo Islamic Academy offers school children of all ages an Islamic environment to grow and learn. Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade high schoolers attend class together in a supportive and unadulterated environment.
Children are taught by Muslim staff members that uphold the highest ideals and standards. Integrity, character, and behavior is emphasized throughout the curriculum. The staff and administration harp on these values and work with the children to help them develop morally, spiritually, and academically.
Our students are ranking very high on standardized achievement tests. Some of the high school students are even taking classes at the University of Toledo in a cooperative in the post-secondary program, thereby receiving high school and college credit simultaneously.
Toledo Islamic Academy is highly advanced and technologically centuries ahead. A full computer lab with advanced classes in today’s most powerful software packages provides our students with the tools of the future. A science and chemistry laboratory allows children to apply the basics in actual experiments.
Our high school graduates are attending colleges all over the world and excelling in their respective fields. We are very proud of their accomplishments.
Toledo Islamic Academy is one of the most advanced and organized Islamic Schools in North America. Many families have relocated to Toledo due to the success and advanced features ofour school. No other school has the features that TIA has:
* Advanced technologically
* Modernized and all new facility
* Stable staff and administration
* Results-oriented outlook
* Great facility
* All Muslim staff
* Highly selective process
Toledo and its Mayor should be charged the bill for gas, wasted time, and whatever other costs were incurred for his ordering the Marines out of Toldedo and for disallowing their scheduled exercises.
