Why are they practicing this?
There is always a military convention down there every two years. They also have a ‘scenario’ around the same time.
SOFIC is SOCOM’s industry “day”. Over 600 vendors and lots of demonstrations like the one described in the article. Actually can be a fun time and blue helmets are not around. Any Freeper that likes to look at some heavier ordnance than at your average gun show would love spending a few hours at the show.
“Why are they practicing this?”
Because they can. The stupidity of the American public cannot be overemphasized including a cadre of creepers.
