The paranoia is... well... expected.
US Postal Service Joins in Federal Ammo Purchases
Add the U.S. Postal Service to the list of federal agencies seeking to purchase what some Second Amendment activists say are alarmingly large quantities of ammunition.
Hope the crossing worked out OK!
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.

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!

The truth behind Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories
Jade Helm 15 is a special forces training exercise scheduled to take place this summer across seven Southwestern states. It has sparked strong opposition and elaborate conspiracy theories. When Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria answered questions about the operation at a public meeting last month in Bastrop County, Texas, he heard inquiries about everything from whether the troops might leave a gate open on someone's property to whether they planned to...
On the other side of this, I see the legitimate need to train in unconventional ways because we need to change tactics like the British had to do after colonialists didn't march in formation and square up against their infantry.
I guess all of the distrust stems from the top. Everything that has been said since 2008 has been the complete opposite of what was done or meant. For instance "this will be the most transparent administration " and then blocking access to records, exempting the presidents personal records from inspection and white house records from FOIA requests. Trust and respect flow from the top down and I don't feel either and haven't for the last 25 years.
