If we had a bunch of SpecOps guys killed overseas in a thousands of miles long desert mission, the response would be, “Well, why didn’t they train for it the same way they were going to do it? We have desert, too, that they can train in.”
People assume this training is about them....what happens when the gang bangers in Baltimore or any major US city start shooting cops en mass instead of throwing rocks...who is going to be called on to quell a city on fire full of armed gang bangers?
Oh yeah....the Military and National guard.
There are more troops stationed in Texas than the entire Jade Helm exercise of 1200.
