MEU-SOCs have been conducting such exercises in various cities around the country for a decade or more now. They even did so in Toledo last year evidently. I lived in New Orleans in the 1990s and the Marines came through twice for MOUT training. It was all over the news and the city was proud to take part. I watched them assault the old Falstaff Brewery across from the NOPD headquarters myself.
The mayor of Toledo is an unpatriotic slimeball. Pure and simple.
Thanks for the info. I didn’t know about those training exercises.
