“The military has always trained for various scenarios but training to round up American citizens IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.”
Did you see the 1968 democrat convention, in Chicago? Did you see the Rodney King riots in Lost Angeles, in 1992?
Did you know that Japanese, Italian and German origin residents were “rounded up” and placed in internment camps, during WWII because of legitimate concerns?
Training at home, using locals as role players, is a means to simulate conditions, should such procedures be needed, in cases like occupation, pacification like Germany, Japan, Afghanistan, Iraq.
All those incidents should have been handled by local and state police,or even state militia if needed.The State Guards federalization in the early 20th century was just one more federal power grab and attack on states’ rights.
Roosevelt was another progressive dictator who flaunted the Constitutional restrictions.
Centralization of power is always sought by the corrupt and the arrogant who think they know better what everyone needs must do.
