A close friend got a call to re-up, even though he’s been retired for over 10 years. Odd. He’s not in a medical field.

“Why are active duty military in these numbers, and for this duration (2 years), needed for the coronavirus outbreak?”

stopping 100% of invaders from the south from getting through instead of just 50%?

“People are bored and bad guys are bored “

No sports, no live music, no going out to party, no dine in restaurants, yep it’s a ticking bomb.

Why are active duty military in these numbers, and for this duration (2 years), needed for the coronavirus outbreak? War with Iran and others is likely this fall.

I hope the sanctions and economic implosion combined with the virus will end the regime.

“When you have mayors, governors and other so called leaders dictating what people can and cannot do, that have nothing to do with the outbreak, then you have a problem. Putting up road blocks, telling people they cannot go outside, telling gun stores they need to close, and on and on and on. You can bet that people are going to get pissed. It’s just a matter of time before the real SHTF.”

I don’t think it’s that inevitable. And it’s more likely to come from crazies with guns or explosives who see an opportunity to make some stupid political statement or from bored teenage boys and girls flash mobbing and getting out of hand. I don’t see the trigger as being roadblocks and the like.

For nut job communists / jihadists/ tyrants/cartel bosses, what better time for:

China
Russia
Norks
Iran
Cartels

to organize and hit us now.

(all those groups have been linked in the past to multiples of each other).

Any time REAL SOON, would be a great time for America to carry out a “previously / regularly scheduled nuclear weapons inventory test...”

Let the media and libs howl about “how Trump is so threatening!”, thats EXACTLY what we need to remind those scumbags, that if they attack us we will be happy to solve THEIR virus problem with radiation.

/acknowledgment of “big talker”: though deep family/friends connected, I never had the honor or privilege of serving, and often, yes, everything does look like a nail.

I already suggested this. For citizens to volunteer to do the work that will free up trained others to do what they are trained to do.

Maybe too cumbersome to put this into action right now. Also I know from personal experience it is difficult to work with volunteers. They don’t show up, for one thing. That was the worst. When they just didn’t show up when they were supposed to.

Thank you for the excellent links to those two excellent videos about Chinese economic warfare against the U.S.

(Even if you’ve seen these, IMHO most people many even here on FR are not aware - this would be a good time to spread this news so more Freepers and as many Americans as possible become aware of the background, in case (WHEN....) it gets escalated).

In case you failed to read the entire order, maybe this could clarify some questions you might have...

The Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security, as applicable, will ensure appropriate consultation is undertaken with relevant state officials with respect to the utilization of National Guard Reserve Component units activated under this authority.

In other words, National Guard authorization will be available if the states need them.......

We are in a new war. Time for the young hammer heads to step up a volunteer to help out. Stop smoking weed and help out your fellow Americans.

Please continue. Combination of oil prices and their faithful licking the shrine in Qom?
