I like Gohmert, but the concerns he outlined in his letter seemed to be more about semantics than the substance of these domestic military operations. He is concerned that portions of the country have been deemed “hostile”, and indeed that is disturbing terminology, but he seems to avoid demanding to know what is really going on. Americans want to be reassured about the validity, need and oversight for such sinister appearing operations and that our freedoms and liberty will not be violated. Somebody needs to publically address these concerns.
It is impossible to be 60 years old and trust the Government.
They lie when the truth would be easier.
We all need to get off our high horses and bow to Obama and Islam. Then everything will be hunky-dory. /sarc
“the problem” with it?
I can’t understand how leftists would think we WOULDN’T have a problem with it.
They, following their belief system and agenda, have designated population centers that don’t support their ideology as “hostile” in a military exercise.
WTF!! (and I don’t use that language anymore!)
Nothing says stop this kind of expression of federal power like the American people hitting back and saying, the real power is in the hands of the American people when they act to stop this insanity!
So everybody get an orange arm band.
If you want to designate a "hostile" territory, I would start with New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and California.
At this point, what I’d really like to hear are the opinions of those military personnel involved in these exercises. Not generals, but senior enlisted men. I want to know how these exercises are briefed.
I haven’t yet heard of any plans to shadow these troops or to (legally) confuse the operation but I’d have to think that there are some efforts being planned.
It sure seems as if the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law, and frankly, I expect Obama to try something like that. You don’t really expect our dictator wannabe to leave office willingly, do you?
