Some 80,000 soldiers are being trained in Georgia to respond and handle martial law needs.

What are these 5 - 8 divisions? US Army divisions have 10,000 to about 16,000 soldiers. 80,000 is a big chunk of the total force. If our military was called out to fill a martial law roll - it hasn’t been done since the civil war and the couple times generals tried it they were quickly over ruled - they would be controlling the “million man civil security force”, not the citizenry.
Our military is not composed of mindless automatons who blindly follow all orders. They are sworn to protect and defend our constitution, they do not swear personal loyalty and obedience to our President.

Our military is not the only force that we will have to contend with if things go South. The Canadians are poised to send troops along with the UN. Those folks have not taken an oath to defend the Constitution. It is interesting to look at the oaths taken by your local law enforcement, few of them swear to anything but to uphold the law (any law) regardless of personal predjudice against doing so. Those are the folks historically doing the door busting.

BTW, the military being deployed in the US in anticipation of civil discord was started on October 7, 2008 by GW and was just one of many extra perks handed over to "O"; Thanks George!

Since almost every Division in the US Army is deployed overseas at some level and several have failed combat certification I do not believe the 80,000 number. It may include NG troops.

THANK YOU!! You beat me to it!

Sheesh, ever since B-HO won, FR has shifted to the cusp of ideas found on sites like InfoWars. Glad there are folks like you around here to help shift it back.

That seems to be about to change as is is the two time limit on the presidency. Several Bills have been tabled to remove this restriction.

There is a complete take over/ power grab in progress that bypasses all aspects of the Constitution.

Already the 20 Czars in the Obama House who control/ regulate/oversee all major aspects of our lives including our economy, health etc., bypassing Congress or the people

Do not expect the Marine Corp to go against any American Civilians,
in fact expect them to protect us from the 5th column interior threat.
