This violates Posse Comititas. Maybe Free Republic should file a lawsuit in Federal Court!

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes which limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Congress passed the Act as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and updated it in 1956, 1981 and 2021.

“This violates Posse Comititas.”

It does not. This is annual TARP training (Threat Awareness and Reporting Program). So it is just to inform soldiers about terrorist threats. PFC Snuffy from the motor pool ain't enforcing anything.

That said. It is still stupid. Usually the presentation is standardized for all units and presented by the local MI detachment, if available. Need to find out ho approved it and at what level.
