Bravo, Gov. Abbott! Why is the U.S. Military training for urban warfare in Bastrop, Texas, a town of 7,000 people? Why was it chosen?Is it because it is also 80% White and votes conservative?

The community meeting called by the mayor on Monday showed the deep distrust of the residents of Bastrop. The military brass basically told the people they couldn’t do a thing about Operation Jade Helm, during which the military will roam the private land of residents without permission for three months.

It seems more appropriate for urban warfare training to take place in Baltimore, beginning tomorrow. The rural areas of this country just want D.C. to leave them alone.

Yes, that is exactly why. The same applies to other areas, where 'locals' and such help the military train. It happens all the time around the US, the most famous case being Robin Sage which is carried out in Central North Carolina several times a year.

Sounds unconstitutional to me.

I just watched the video of the meeting and it is NOTHING like you said! The Lt Col speaking did not say "they couldn’t do a thing about Operation Jade Helm, during which the military will roam the private land of residents without permission for three months."

That is really a big misrepresentation of his words. He was asking permission!

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Army does NOT = Obama.

“The military brass basically told the people they couldn’t do a thing about Operation Jade Helm, during which the military will roam the private land of residents without permission for three months.”

Wanna bet?
