So it should come as no surprise that as the U.S. military prepares to launch one of the largest training exercises in history later this month, many Bastrop, TX residents might suspect a secret Obama plot to spy on them, confiscate their guns and ultimately establish martial law in one of America’s proudly free conservative states. What do you think? are they just paranoid or what?

The idea that the federal government under President Obama is going to establish martial law in Texas is absurd. That's a lot easer said than done. The last thing in the world I would want to attempt to do is ride around Texas confiscating personal firearms. However, do I believe the Obama administration has an irrational fear of right-wing "terrorists"? Yes. but what they dream about and what they could accomplish are two very different things.

What would a 'Texas Invasion' accomplish? Would we be going in for their guns or their oil?

This place is turning into a conspiracy theorists haven...

I guess that's a good reason to vote the question down SGM? At least you gave a reason! Thanks for your response and honesty.

Anyone that honestly believes Jade Helm 15 is an attempt to emplace martial law is a moron.

I don't know Sir. It is a fact that the US Air Force and the US Navy will have fighter jets flying over parts of Oregon right at the beginning of the time frame of Jade Helm! Coincidence?

Are you serious? Yeah, coincidence! Training exercises across the range of our military capabilities are continuous both CONUS and OCONUS.

Sir, I was making fun of the whole "conspiracy theory" thing regarding Jade Helm. In fact, the Navy and Air Force fighter jets I was referring to are the Navy Blue Angles and the Air Force F-16 Falcon Demo at the Hillsboro Oregon International Air Show in two weeks.
