Active duty troops DEPLOYED on our soil and ... no response?

0 votes

I can't be the only one concerned about this, can I?

This is the first time active duty troops have been deployed on US soil since... since... the civil war, I'm guessing. (I'm probably going to be corrected)

How many contacted their congressman over this? How many were outraged and frightened by the prospect of battle hardened soldiers being deployed - not stationed - deployed here?

This is the venue of the National guard, not the military. NO TROOPS should be deployed stateside EVER!

This can only lead to trouble. There is but one reason an active duty brigade is deployed here and that is to test the water. Since no one is complaining, I guarantee you there will be more here soon. And the only reason to have them deployed here is for you.

Not Al Queda or Hells Angels or Bloods or Crips... they're here for you 'my friends'.

I recommend you start making noise over it.

My government loves me.

[/sarcasm on] My government loves me. They would never ever do anything to hurt me or take away my freedoms. This is a free country after all. We should all obey the government and do everything they say. It's for our own good. Army troops must be right, after all, they have rank and we mere civilians don't. We should do what ever they tell us. If FEMA asks us nicely to get on trains, they wouldn't take us to camps like the Nazi's did to the Jews. They love us and would never ever let anything happen to us. That's why any vaccine they give us must be safe. Our troops take them, and look! There they are out on the streets with their big guns. They look fine to me. They are here to protect us from white Al Qaeda and domestic terrorists. If they need to ban all guns then we should hand them over. Then only terrorists would have guns and that way they would be easier to spot, because in this post 9/11 world you must be a terrorist if you have guns. I'm voting for Obama. He'll ban all the bad guns and go after them terroristic bitter clingers. We need "Change" after all, but don't worry. Obama loves our Constitution. He would never "Change" that, or get rid of it. People who worry about this stuff are just kooky "Conspiracy Theorists", and they are actually terrorists. They pass out DVD's produced by white Al Qaeda meant to brainwash us. Your government looooves you. Obama looooves you. [/sarcasm off]

So do we think that these troops are Americans or are "they" bringing troops in from China - or somewhere else - to do the job?

bump!

FYI...

They are not "DEPLOYED" to the US the LIVE in the US at Ft. Stewart...

Or is the military nothing but a band of Gauls like the Praetorian Guard? Brought in from foreign lands to protect the Caesar?

Yes they were deployed here

Yes they were deployed here they're not just living here they are on assignment under northcom to assist in natural disasters and with "civil unrest" do a little reading

Read the news release - they

Read the news release - they are DEPLOYED to support local authourites in the supression of civil unrest and or domestic terrorism-------------

"Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.

They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.

Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.

The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them."

It is all coming to a head

very soon. The reason no one is outraged is that the outrage spectrum has been exceeded too many times and there is no way to express this level of frustration and despair. Also, we know that we are powerless to do anything but react and we are therefore sitting ducks unless these members of the military are true Americans and will honor their oath to uphold the Constitution.

Maybe I can enlighten everybody

Who received more donations from our military then any other presidential candidate. Not dem nor Repub but from both parties? During the primaries. Think real hard about that one. I think someone did the math by max contributions to the minimum amount of people who could have donated. Who I ask you? Who among them! Just stop and think.

I support our troops- I always will...but

"Deploying" them fresh back from Iraq is irresponsible. I read this today and it gives me pause for concern as to whether or not they are receiving proper debriefing and or testing before being reassigned. I certainly dont want to paint them all with a broad brush- but lets face it- some, while we are proud beyond words of them for their service, may not be quite ready to handle things back home with a cool head.

The point is there is not any way for the government to use

troops against a well informed and well armed population.

The other point is the assumption has to be made that all troops and police will go along with some dictatorial order to "lock us down."

They won't.

Secondly, the martial law proponents have not done anything to support HOW martial Law would be executed.

I have stated before that the majority of our active duty troops are overseas. Most of them are in Iraq and Afghanistan. Six years of war has resulted in little or no success. Iraq has 29,000,000 inhabitants over the equivalent of 4% of the square miles as the US. The US 300 million plus.

Iraq has 145,000 US troops. Have they imposed military control?

Could 400,000 US troops impose control on 300 million fellow citizens spread out over 3.7 million square miles?

How would this be achieved?

Is it possible?

Have you researched Afghanistan?

You just can't present this military takeover crap without supporting it with facts.

Posse comitatus was suspended a while ago did you write your gutless pipsqueak congressman?

Dr. Paul sets the example by educating and speaking from a place of hope.

Unify

I think you're missing the point...

Active troops are deployed here and no one is making a sound. This is very dangerous. If it is not challenged, there will be further deployment. At what point will you start worrying? When there is a sandbagged fortification at the center of your town?

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

What are YOU going to do about it?

I don't want to hear suggestions for the rest of us. You are spewing your righteous (and correct) indignation. But what are YOU personally doing about it?

Just because there are not riots in the streets over this does not mean people are unaware, or that they aren't taking some form of action they deem appropriate.

Well said.

Each of us needs to act on our own.

...but each of us needs to act.

Most don't.

I concur.

GET REAL ,POWELL should have stayed out

YEA,& Colin POWELL stated he would like to see a "transformational" figure & a generational change in the white house...Transform to & from what is my question...NWO ?...McCain said:.AYER is a washed-up terrorist ,"what is the big deal" ...THE deal : IS OBAMA 's brain washed out from the preaching & teaching of AYERS ??
weee

I wish people would learn about Ayers before judging

He was a true patriot fighting against the government for us "we the people" they just did it with force unlike others who do nothing but complain about things.

Obama's relationship with Ayers is his only good point.

It's since Katrina but it's

It's since Katrina but it's the only non disaster related time since the civil war. and yes there is a huge difference between stationed and deployed. These troops are for riot suppression

Stationed in Georgia.

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

There are many thousands of military personel

stationed at dozens of bases around the country on a regular basis. I'm not sure what you are alarmed about.

you don't know difference

you don't know difference between deployed and stationed?

Enlighten me

.

wheres waldo?

wheres waldo?

He's right here

Waiting to be enlighten,

if you are deployed- you

if you are deployed- you have been sent from your home base .(where you are stationed) to a designated region to carry out a mission.peace keeping,combat,riot control,securing a city,killing citizens.what ever our gov. uses you for.

Then the obvious questions are:

1. How many troops
2. Where are they deployed
3. What is the purpose

Without those specifics it could simply a training mission.

very good questioms.now your

very good questioms.now your thinking.take it a step farther and do some research.you will not like what you find.trainihg for what?i'm thru here.have a good day.
