I watched it, and it said nothing about an army.

No, but it does say air force, about a hundred of them. While this doesn't look to be particularly sophisticated training, and they don't sound like a threat, but these weren't students skydiving for pleasure. I for one, think our government should know what foreign students are doing here, particularly members of the military. And particularly when they're from terrorist states. The UAE isn't exactly our friend (I don't care if Colin Powell calls them an ally). This is just another example of the negligent manner in which our government has been securing our borders.

On what basis would you say that? Do you really think some podunk skydiving school in Minnesota is providing sophisticated military training by having these kids jump out of a cessna?

Boy, it must of have been terrific training, too, if the fire department had to come rescue the guy dangling from his chute.

Our government seems to be negligent about a lot of things.
