“we view the military”

your statement was too short. It should also be how the military.. particularly regular troops view the citizenry. The natl guard soldier in the video was pretty happy describing how they were going to do it.

Many of the Ntl guard troops I think just want to get some ninja suited type action for their $200 a weekend (or whatever). And there was NO name tags or type of unit designation I could see on the uniforms.

NO "Police", "FBI", "Ntl Guard" or "ATF" showing prominently any where I noticed.

"There are no active duty bases in Iowa, so there are no urban warfare training areas of any size," Hopgood said. "In order to get that larger neighborhood feel or city feel, we have to be creative and partner with our communities."

How unusual...
MILITARY OPERATION ON URBAN TERRAIN (MOUT)
COMBINED ARMS COLLECTIVE TRAINING FACILITY (CACTF)
CAMP DODGE, JOHNSTON, IOWA
1 November 2007
1. Purpose. To provide guidance for the safe, efficient and economic conduct of training on the Military Operations in Urban Terrain at Camp Dodge, Johnston, Iowa.

It's statements like those made in the article that, when combined with further information, makes you wonder...
"What the hell was he thinking when he said that!"

I don’t see this as a sinister ploy by the military. I just don’t think they understand all the dynamics at play, when U.S. Citizens have to watch them conduct military activity on U.S. soil, especially one that entails them locating and securing weapons.

It amazes me that they don't seem to have one person on the planning staff at whatever level this was hatched who realized how this might be taken- especially in the conservative heartland. Especially after having been through all of this eight years ago. Especially with national leadership now to whom 'hope and change' appear to mean intentionally turning the country upside down.

“I presume those questions are rhetorical, right?”

Well, yes, and no—if you have knowledge that I don’t have I’d sure appreciate your divulging it.

I don’t presume to have the answers, really.

But an inquisitive citizen is slippery in the hands of tyrants.

So I got that much goin’ for me. :)

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house”

Are they practising to live in the citizens houses?

Do you have this mixxed up with another law?

Maybe.

Why don’t they just go to Ciudad Juarez for some real-world training?

There's more, I just didn't want to get tedious and was kind of using it as an example of how long these things have been going on.
Be sure to check out reply 42 and let me know how high your BS meter goes.
There's plenty more MOUT info available.

The basic answer to all those questions is that 0bama has spent his entire adult life hanging around with people who want to destroy this country, turning it into, at best, a third-world s#!+hole.

Everything he does is in support of this goal.

“...get some ninja suited type action...”

They’re wearing the uniform of an American soldier.

They can dress up in spats and sing like Ethal Merman in the back yards of THEIR homes for all I care.

Play a damn video game or join a paintball team.

Are they men, or boys? What are we talking about here?

This isn’t a frickin’ game.

These guys may one day be asked to dodge bullets or blow a man to pieces—OR WEAR THEIR BUDDIES’ BRAINS, for Christ’s sake.

“I thought it was Arcadia,Louisiana!!! “

Are you confusing this with “New Orleans, Louisiana?”

That was another town invaded by other mixed soldiers relishing their work just too much.

“what will the NWO consider an “weapons’s dealer”

The UN manual and training guides have all that listed. The Ninja SWAT teams do to.

Funny, the one book looks sort of like a phone book????????

I see you and the honorable Mr Finkbeiner are in agreement...


“Toledo police knew days in advance about their plans for a three-day exercise. Yet somehow the memo never made it to Mayor Finkbeiner, who ordered the Marines out yesterday afternoon just minutes before their buses were to arrive.

“The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people,” said Brian Schwartz, the mayor’s spokesman.

“He did not want them practicing and drilling in a highly visible area.”


We support the troops.....well sure...until Obama got into office...

ofcorse it would dawn on you to look to the southern border and wonder why there migth be a need for the use of US troops in a domestic situation...

Funny crap.....when a lib is in power...the military is training to subdue the right...when the right is in power the military is training to subdue the left....

It never dawns on people there could be another answer.....they are training to keep your ass safe.

“), the people in charge of that birdbrained idea are worse than knuckleheads.”

More and more I think it was “floated” by some officers in cahoots with the O admin. Just testing the citizen response you know.
