People are freaking out, because this isn't seen often by in large by people outside the realm of the military and surrounding areas.
This stuff is pretty helpful training for SOF forces. And is not outside the norm of such SOF training, this it but on a larger scale.
'Previously not on the Jade Helm radar, Jade Helm has reared its ugly head at Ft. Chaffee where Special Forces are training in relation to Jade Helm.'
Ft. Chaffee has hosted similar training in the past and is part of the certain mos training for the military[use your imagination].
Part of the problem, as I have talked about in the past, is that 'now' there is more media, because, about a decade ago, during a similar training environment in NC, a real shooting occurred between the local LEO and some of the guys going thru the SF qualification course. Not a fun time back then.
I remember reading about major war games just before WWII involving General Patton here in Louisiana. If I remember correctly, Patton surprised everybody with his rapid conquest of Shreveport. It is just that, now, there is distrust of the federal government. Back then, Roosevelt was not habitually slamming America and Americans.
Ain’t Jade Helm a-rab for obama?
