Air Force: We’re not kidding. “Storming Area 51” would be a really bad idea

Yes, those who would go out there and try to trespass need to understand that the military is NOT civilian enforcement. They are under no mandates to arrest.

We need to invite the anti-FA (anti-first amendment) folks to a party out there.

20 minutes north of me is the Navy's Earle Naval Weapons Storage Facility. Years ago I had to pass by the place on my way to and from work. There's a two lane county road that goes along the east side of the place. One more than one occasion I would see a Hummer parked along the fence and if I happened to slow down even a little bit I could clearly see the driver in the vehicle checking me out.

Aliens are Aliens. You seen one, you seen ‘em all. /s

They are all libtards. They should be encouraged. We will have a couple hundred thousand less of them.

“was one of 25 correctional officers who stopped 220 inmates from rushing a fence by using triple-chasers, gas, and stun guns.”

And yet here you sit behind a keyboard instead of volunteering your ass to show the Border Patrol how it should be done.

Interesting.

I was once in a place where there was a door guarded by two Marines. They were very polite. Someone told me what ever you do, do not try to go through they door, they WILL kill you.

Why should the people headed to area 51 be worried? The government/military isn’t doing anything about foreigners storming our Southern border.

Agree. USAF isn’t going to machine gun a flash mob. Guaranteed.

That sign needs a skull and crossbones on it, and maybe a hieroglyphic of an Apache doing a strafing run on some Antifa hippies, or other hippies being shot by AP’s.

Hopefully these wackos won't demand asylum...

IAC, only the first row needs to dropped in their tracks... The rest will immediately self deport...

All due respect but any correctional force is charged with maintaining order and safety in a correctional facility. The US military isn't a police force. It's job is to blow things up and kill people in defense of the nation from enemies foreign and domestic and from my understanding and the men and women I've come to know who served in peace time and during war the US military isn't very long on being inclined or patient with pushy, loud mouthed and potentially pugnacious civilians causing them problems , compromising a command hg, base, defense facility or military personnel.

This is much ado bout nothing.

First, a bunch of people are not going to show up in the middle of the desert to “storm Area 51”, at least not enough to be any real threat. That area is remote as hell and tough as nails.

Secondly, the Air Force isn’t going to do anything, they can’t on US soil. The National Guard, local PD and the Area 51 hired security will however, and what they’ll do is arrest any idiot that tries.

I get the secrecy aspect of national defense but the military works for us. Threatening citizens? F them.

[Truthoverpower]

125 in the shade. Good luck kids !

I was at a military site and in the safety/security training and warned of horse play. They told the story of a helicopter going along a dirt road. Some of the manual laborers riding in the back of the large open truck pointed their shovel handles at the helicopter.

A short while later the truck came over a rise and came face to face with two Humvees blocking the road with a bunch of guns pointed at them. And an armed helicopter hovering over the road with its guns pointed at them.

I don’t think that the group was arrested, but the entire company doing the work was kicked off the site.

I would often do work just outside a very secure area fence and alone. Still on the site and within a gated area - but out in the dirt and sage brush. Always made sure I was wearing my high-vis vest, truck with cones sitting on top of it to let them know I wasn’t hiding anything.

Still a bit disconcerting when the two guys come driving up, come out of their truck with their rifles at the ready and ask to see my badge and what am I doing.

[blackdog]

Just pretend it’s the southern border.

[Zuriel]

Just release a few hundred diamondbacks in their path.
