CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Training at Camp Lejeune Thursday looked and felt real -- and that was the point. Law officers and marines from across the country ended their training with a bang.
Thursday was the final day of exercises for law enforcement and marines who have gone through special reaction team training at Camp Lejeune for the past three weeks. In the final exercise, teams were presented with a series of real life scenarios as well as hands on instruction to handle them correctly.
Brian Dye, Operations Chief of I&I in Lexington, Kentucky says training civilians as a blended force with Marine Corps personnel eases the transition into a real world scenario.
"I think it's always good when you get an opportunity to work on some similar tactics and procedures so that everybody's kind of operating on the same page. That way when you bring teams together from active duty and the civilian side, it makes the integration a whole lot smoother."
The tactics trainees take away from this course just may help save lives. This three week SRT training course is phase one for law enforcement and Marine Corps personnel. Phase two will focus on sniper and designated marksmanship training.
The organizational principles and minimal yet cryptically simple instructions for such a libertarian system were laid out 3.000 years ago, but have gone totally misunderstood until now. Is anybody listening?
No.
I really wish you folks would learn that Posse Comitatus doesn’t cover ALL of the military.
My dress blues were earned before this DADT crap was foisted off on us. Left active duty in '94 after they first started making the rounds with the whole DADT spiel.
We've got some bad stuff heading our way no matter how November shakes out. Stay sharp. We'll need every one of us when the ball drops.

We don’t need a National C&C structure. Not when we would be defending territory we’ve grown up in and know better than any map or gps reader could ever guess...
The one of which I spoke is not "national" in character, as it is a family-based architecture. It will however absolutely guarantee national integrity.
Of course, despite its age and its many ingenious and unique attributes, as a system, it has never been attempted.
Thank you for your contributions. They were educational.
I don’t think you’re disagreeing with me at all; you’re supporting my point. I stated that the country couldn’t have the states’ militias fighting each other, and they haven’t ever since.
The Spanish-American War used this system.
But the progressives stuck their filthy nose in it with the Militia Act of 1903 which transformed the STATE national guard into federal subsidized troops, which means Uncle Sam gets to rid rough shot over the individual states military.
The military has a bad habit of "misunderestimating" its foes, especially WRT one where they can blend into the population. And, let's be honest, in a CWII situation the "rebels" will have a LOT of the advantage in that they can blend perfectly into the general population. Any 'mistakes' (civilian casualties) that are incurred in such a scenario can and will be used as propaganda/motivation to recruit from the general populace: proof that the government has abandoned its duties and is no longer legitimate.
“Looks like the dog target practice has paid off.
Now we’re the vicious curs.”
Indeed. Will any of the usual suspects try to defend this?
And yet this does beg the question: under what circumstances should civil police and military be working together WHERE WEAPON USE IS INVOLVED.
Many answers are not comfortable.
I see what you mean; I was under the impression that it happened earlier (though through Reconstruction I’m sure the Southern states had no standing militias anyway).
General James Longstreet was the Adjutant General of the Louisiana Militia in the 1870's, where he led them in the Battle of Liberty Palace.
P.S. This system also helped prevent wars because the States didn't like having her sons away on long deployments for years on end
You don't have to be a "druggie guy" to be against the War on Drugs. No other single government program has been as destructive to liberty as the WoD, just look at how courts have repeatedly-ruled to justify the WoD tactics, look at the state of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments and ask yourself if they are actually still binding upon the government -- certainly not the 4th; for according to the fourth there is no "probable cause" which negates the need to get a warrant: the probable cause is the reason to get a warrant.
Furthermore, how many of these court decisions are ultimately based upon Prohibition decisions? The 21st amendment repealed in full the 18th Amendment, this means that all Prohibition-related judgements by rights should be invalid.
No, all you need is a sense of justice to realize that the War on Drugs is a Bad IdeaTM.
Consider how much we roll over for the immoral because it's 'legal' and how we-as-a-nation have sacrificed more than 50-million babies to the god of convenience (abortion) and I think you have the start of an argument that we do indeed deserve him. What about our acceptance of congressmen being above the laws, even those laws they haven't exempted themselves from? What about our acceptance of blatant murder (even assuming you don't consider abortion murder) excused to government agents: Ruby Ridge and Waco?
No, I think we have exactly the government we deserve. I do sincerely hope that we-as-a-nation turn to God and repent, walking the moral path... will that happen? I don't know.
Assuming you're memory is correct Posse Cometaus cannot change the verbiage: the Constitution must be amended in order to change it.
Why?
Why?
Well, in a democracy, cheap legal dope and welfare, is a match made in heaven for the left.
It's no longer DADT. The policy now is *Quit Braggin'!*
