US Politicians worried over their own safety from "Unruly Americans" after an economic collapse? Has there been a run on pitch forks that I have not heard about??

However:

"It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.

"But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities."

"The at-home mission does not take the place of scheduled combat-zone deployments and will take place during the so-called dwell time a unit gets to reset and regenerate after a deployment."

"The 1st of the 3rd is still scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010, which means the soldiers will have been home a minimum of 20 months by the time they ship out.

"In the meantime, they’ll learn new skills, use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at while doing any of it."

"They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack."

-Army Times Sept. 8, 2008

Correction Made:
A non-lethal crowd control package fielded to 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, described in the original version of this story, is intended for use on deployments to the war zone, not in the U.S., as previously stated.-http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/

Never thought I would say I "kinda miss" the "Lipstick on a Pig" Series now. Well, almost. ;)

Goofy prognostication.
Our military personnel are well aware of Haditha and Hamidaniya.

In the event of civil unrest they are far from likely to support the existing government.

I guess you can think a lot of things if you have never served.

I am not the smartest man here but I thought this sort of thing was illegal. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Been discussed at length around here. A brigade to quell the unruly masses in one of our urban centers? I’d think you’d need something more like a division. A brigade sounds more like something you’d field to protect critical infrastructure (nuke plants, Wall Street, etc.). I dunno...

We need a “Stuff and Nonsense” category.

OK OK Ok but this was "a spin" on the Army News by a preacher uk I never heard of before. Even the Army News had to make a correction.

I know was a lame call!

Nah ... we need a place to sequester all the tinfoil hat crap. If it’s all gathered together in one place, it’s easier to see the contradictions.
