When U.S. Special Operations forces raided several houses in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in March 2006, two Army Rangers were killed when gunfire erupted on the ground floor of one home. A third member of the team was knocked unconscious and shredded by ball bearings when a teenage insurgent detonated a suicide vest.
Who, the relative asked, was this man — the one represented by a blue dot and nearly killed by the suicide bomber?
After some hesitation, the military briefers answered with three letters: FBI.
The wounded agent in Iraq was Jay Tabb, a longtime member of the bureau’s Hostage and Rescue Team (HRT) who was embedded with the Rangers when they descended on Ramadi in Black Hawks and Chinooks. Tabb, who now leads the HRT, also had been wounded just months earlier in another high-risk operation.
At Fort Bragg, N.C., home to the Army’s Special Operations Command, Delta Force operators trained the agents, teaching them how to breach buildings and engage in close-quarter fighting, said Danny Coulson, who commanded the first HRT.
The team’s mission was largely domestic, although it did participate in select operations to arrest fugitives overseas, known in FBI slang as a “habeas grab.”
Sometimes lines blurred between the HRT and the military. During the 1993 botched assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Tex., three Delta Force operators were on hand to advise. Waco, along with a fiasco the prior year at a white separatist compound at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, put the FBI on the defensive.

Yeah. Ok.
When you, personally, have a multibillion dollar budget for such things get back to me.
But that’s the paradox. Try to take over the country and watch your tax base go to crap. Suddenly you won’t have billions to spend anymore. Holes will develop, lines get thin, equipment will get captured and commandeered.
Understand, in the end it’s not about martial law. That is a feint. The goal is to break up the U.S., not keep it whole. Part of that includes foreign occupation, part of that states breaking away, and part a rump federal govt, none with the power to completely win over the other, therefore all remain weak.
The globalists want the U.S. completely off the map.
“The globalists want the U.S. completely off the map.”
That is the game plan.

It gave me my screen name.
Been going on for a long time. We trained FBI/DEA at Harmony Church on the far side of Benning back in the early 80s.
“military weapons”
What is a military weapon?
If I, as a civilian, cannot walk into a gun store and walk out with one, then it is a military weapon.
If a particular weapon is possessed by police for the purpose of dealing with violent criminals, then any CCW holder should be able to possess it too.
