An ad campaign featured on a U.S. Army website seeking those who would be interested in being an "Internment/Resettlement" specialist is raising alarms across the country, generating concerns that there is some truth in those theories about domestic detention camps, a roundup of dissidents and a crackdown on "threatening" conservatives.
The ads, at the GoArmy.com website as well as others including Monster.com, cite the need for:
"Internment/Resettlement (I/R) Specialists in the Army are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility. I/R Specialists provide rehabilitative, health, welfare, and security to U.S. military prisoners within a confinement or correctional facility; conduct inspections; prepare written reports; and coordinate activities of prisoners/internees and staff personnel. The campaign follows by only weeks a report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warning about "right-wing extremists" who could pose a danger to the country – including those who support third-party political candidates, oppose abortion and would prefer to have the U.S. immigration laws already on the books enforced.

You’d be surprised what people would be willing to do in desperate situations or the threat of them. I wish I could say I had your confidence.
Were you one of the Nisei? A friend’s father and mother were detained, but the father joined the US Army.
The sad fact is that the Army of the United States has been used on occasion to suppress domestic freedom,was used to evict native Indians from land both traditional and recognized by treaty, and members of the military have committed atrocities in our own Civil War and foreign wars.That these heinous acts are rare is no reason to ignore or guard against the possibility of future such acts,both to protect ourselves and the honor of the military.
Yeah, gramma, I can only agree. Will they have a geriatric unit for those of us who remember the good old days when we had a free country?
And Christians as well will be incarcerated in those places. Count on it.
No tinfoil hat needed, and here is description, and it is concerning:
Internment can also be used interchangable with word burial...see dictionary.
Here's what I'd do: Put the fighters out of the way somewhere while you build the infrastructure, and train them so they have suitable skills to find a job. Use your existing corrections specialists to guard these guys, but rename them internment/resettlement specialists to recognize their new duties.
Is I/R a little euphemistic? Maybe. "Detention and Re-Education Specialist" might hit closer to the mark, but has Orwellian overtones. "Corrections Specialist" had to go, though, since not all detention centers are corrections centers. And I still think they may be moving towards a 31E role in major noncombatant evacuation operations, since large movements of people may need to be detained and screened for infiltrators.
Snickerdoodles?
I’ve got military family...they say NO way...
With the remodeling of a Michigan prison facility, and plans to transfer remaining Gitmo detainees there...this sounds like what they will be doing. There is probably a lot of the soldiers transferred to Afghanistan in this rate, as well.
No, it was in 1971.
I was merely pointing out how misleading your post was to think it was something new and going back to Clinton.
Judging by the way you slandered the entire history of the United States military, I guess I embarrassed you a little.
In the red block “civilian preferential hiring” is about the point system, as former military get a (used to be 10 pts) added to a resume score for hiring purposes. It gives them preference due to immense training in the field.
That’s “interment”.
I was just referring to the job description itself.
Tinfoil WARNING:
These are low levelArmy guard positions, that will be needed in Afghanistan, and wherever Gitmo Detainees end up in USA...Guarding only requires a few words for movement, and feeding.
If they are going to read people’s rights to them in the field,, then they will have to be transferred here for trials, and someone will need to guard them.
So noone panics:
We also have STATE MILITIAs of Civilians sworn to uphold the Constitution, as our protection...You can type in your State and Militia, and find the contact info to check on how they operate, member numbers, and how they would mobilize, in case of ‘domestic enemies’...that would be wise for ‘ALL ABLE BODIED MEN’....check it out. It will alleviate fear and confusion.
Yep..sorry
“The 20 something co-worker who was in the program stated he would bayonet unarmed American citizens who were only passively resisting if he was ordered”

He must be one of the 30% that would follow illegal orders!
O’Bammy voters,,,
Mite wanna remind that puke that there are about 80,000,000
gun owners in the US of A...
Armed to the teeth...
It’s an Army recruitment, and not a civilian job, it’s given the same (10) point preferential treatment, when discharged from service, and applying for civilian one in same field.
