Will coincidences never cease!
I get your point, but I’m not convinced it’s a valid one.
In one of my posts here, I mentioned there was another military ‘exercise’ in the south, I think 2008, but possibly 2007.
When I spoke out voicing concern for this, someone that lives down near where the exercise was taking place, explained to me that these exercises take place down there not all that infrequently. And they stated that the local folks love having the military use their town for training.
So I’m not at all sure there has been an eight year lapse.
I am a rabid supporter of the military. I respect our troops. I just don’t see exercises in our towns as a great idea.
If the national guard needs to become involved due to national disasters or some sort of civil disturbance such as riots, I understand.
Other than that, I don’t want them displaying their comfort at carrying out military activity inside our nation.
With Obama talking about creating a domestic wing of the military, I am ten times as adamant about this.

The US military may be the last friend the american citizen has on the face of god’s earth...dont piss on their leg just yet.
Very good point!...
