“...they are training to keep your ass safe.”
I don’t care who is “in power”.
In 4, 8, 12 years ANOTHER group will be in power.
Our military is for killing people—not re-educating the American citizen.
This is something our founders understand all too well.
They are to shield us from those who would threaten our freedom, period.
An entire town of Americans (I can’t believe I have to argue this on FR) should not be “ASKED” (no intimidation there, right? Oh, no, sir. “There’s a soldier at the door, honey. He wants to know if we object to their military excercise.”) to PARTAKE IN A FRICKIN’ WAR GAME!!!!!
This is absurd! And VERY dangerous.
Then you sir...have traded places with the moonbats and you spit on the troops...
I remember all this same bullshit under clinton...and the moonbats bitched about it under bush....and now it’s your turn to see black helecopters and disrepect people who put themselves in harms way...
I offer you the comment of Freepers on this very subect:
What will it take - an IED or some suicide bombers to make them understand WHY the military is important? Would they rather see an IED go off downtown during rush hour?

>>”The mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people,” <<
Guess what, Mayor. The events they are training to thwart are even scarier. A$$hat.

An IED in downtown Toledo would probably be an improvement. Finkbeiner is an idiot!

Frighten people!!?? Good lord, United States citizens should be elated to see our finest. Man I fear for my grand children, this will be a very different place for them.

Frighten people? Heck, if I saw them training downtown I take them a plate of warm cookies.

YOU MIGHT BE A WUSSIE IF:
You pee your pants at the sight of a Boy Scout or a Marine in uniform
You would rather hand your country over to radical Islamists than miss an episode of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”
It takes more than three words to order your coffee
You shave any part of your body except your face or skull
You Tivo Will and Grace
You buy your shampoo at a salon instead of a grocery store
You are working really hard to stay in touch with your feminine side
You have panic attacks when a four wheel drive pulls up next to you at a red light
You have cried at a Ben Affleck movie
You only drink imported bottled water
You own more underwear than your mother

Has anyone thought of the possible dead Marines because of this hateful person? Such exercises are their realistic training for urban warfare against our enemies. Sure, we have fake town sections built on military bases for this, but training is better with real buildings in a real city.

Your lack of welcome and civility toward the U.S. Marines in your city is a disgrace. If the Marines aren’t good enough for Toledo, then neither is anyone else. I’ll be sure to spread the word of your hostility.

Many U.S. citizens see our military and feel secure, some of them might even feel inspired. It only stands to reason that there are others out there that might feel afraid and threatened. However, they are usually the ones that are fighting our military.

May he and his kind rot in socialist hell.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot...this place turns into the goddamn birch society?
Some of you people need to get a serious grip before you end up praising Mcveigh and Nichols.
