"Once I observed the map depicting ‘hostile,’ ‘permissive,’ and ‘uncertain’ states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,’ and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution. When the federal government begins, even in practice, games or exercises, to consider any U.S. city or state in ‘hostile’ control and trying to retake it, the message becomes extremely calloused and suspicious."

Ladies and Gentlemen....this is what happens when you take off the tin foil hat.

In all seriousness, I'm amazed at the paranoia that people have as of late. The 160th SOAR(A) flew threw Minneapolis, generating "mass hysteria" about a potential terrorist attack or invasion (In Minnesota?? From whom....the Canadians?). People are upset about training on US soil.....but where else are they supposed to train? Should we invade Mexico as a "practice"? Deploy entire divisions back to Iraq to "simulate"? There are many aspects of our freedoms to be ok with being paranoid about....this is one that I would hold few reservations towards.

Hell, if you really wanna go "full theory", it gives you an opportunity to observe the tactics utilized by the SF/military guys...so you get to observe them and study movements.
v/r,

What is your opinion of this Jade Helm business? I've only heard about it in the last few days and I don't know if I have all the information I need to have an educated opinion about it.

The government has been doing some strange things in the last decade without any reasonable explanation... Why would non-military government agencies stockpile ammunition?

The paranoia is... well... expected.

What was fake on the Internet this week: Game of 72, beard poop and Jade Helm 15

There is so much fake stuff on the Internet in any given week that we’ve grown tired of debunking it all. Fake Twitter fights. Fake pumpkin-spice products. Amazing viral video? Nope — a Jimmy Kimmel stunt!

This is why we have the 2nd amendment. If they plan to take Texas, they will have one hell of a fight on their hands.
