5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned from a source that the members of the 82nd Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, have been put on standby to deploy in Minnesota.
The soldiers have been told to not bring their weapons with them on this potential mission. It remains unclear when they would be ordered into the air, but this standby order makes them available to come in on an immediate basis.
aren't the little chucklets cute... how would you like to have to depend on them when the SHTF???
“whiff of the grape?”
Grapeshot was a form of ammunition from a cannon in Napoleonic times, and it is a quote from Napoleon describing how he dispersed crowds with cannon fire. He fired grapeshot into the crowd, and so a “whiff of grapeshot” refers to that incident.
Maybe they’re gonna be issued shotguns or other weapons appropriate to the job of quelling a violent insurrection.
Or, maybe this is the company that operates the Area Denial Systems.
Just speculating...
The day the picture was shot happened to be "mandatory champagne cork popping safety training" day. I was a contract employee for the military for twenty years. I know how these things work.
Zoom in...big guy front row, left hand, looks like a Rosé wine. Other big guy front row, right hand, looks like a Cab or a Zin.
Photo looks like it was shot somewhere in Europe.
Really weird file photo to select and even more weird they are marching with wine bottles.
No.
And I hope he doesn't. I don't think it would help his reelection any.
“Without weapons, they are targets.”
Yes. And many police are targets in these insurrectionist uprisings even WITH weapons.
And I hope he doesn't. I don't think it would help his reelection any.
Bull Shi!. We are at war! Wake up!
I was on Ft Hood during the Waco Branch Dividian fiasco. I was in charge of a group of M728 Combat Engineer tanks. I got an order. Prep one and load it on a transport. All done. My tank sat at the front gate ready for the go-ahead to Waco. Right before time to set out, word came down to scrub the mission since we were active duty; the National Guard would supply the vehicle.
It happened to be the one with the boom up crashing into the wall before the fire broke out.
To answer...I don’t think any active duty forces or equipment were used that BS raid.
Yeah, can you just picture those little cuties hauling the big bruisers next to them off the battlefield? The big guys must weigh close to twice what the girls weigh.
For the most part , these rioters are mostly young and stupid. No purpose. and they are not working arms to these events
Does that have a know how to operate arms,they know that would be a fatal mistake
You never ever ever see these looters and thugs armed never
Nice historical reference. It’s LONG overdue.
Those are sensible speculations.
Lincoln was able to send troops into a state without the state’s permission, in order to suppress insurrection.
I think that example might apply.
LOL. Nice.
It’s still Obama’s Army. PC to the front, war fighting skills to the rear. (Retired Army Officer)
