To have the military free to roam over private property without permission from landowners is a dangerous business in Texas. Someone is likely to be shot by mistake.
Wanta’ hear something really scary? The private property owners “leased” the land to the feds at “no charge”.
All those people in Bastrop County, Texas are not right wing nuts. Most of them probably work in left wing nut Austin. And they’re very upset about this and the Colonel in charge was told to his face that they didn’t believe him.
