Jealously and zealously guarding our freedoms is paramount, Keep the camels nose or toes out of the tent at all costs, this is no time to be coy or asleep at the wheel. How many cliches can I have in one sentence, but seriously folks, We need to fight tooth and nail at this time, I love the military and the Guard, which are one in the same, but one is more local, stomping doors in the USA trains for what? As to what Michael said in the podcast, nothing but learning how to kick in doors here, not other countries, what might work here, is not going to work in Iraq, or Pakistan, or Syria, or anywhere in the middle east, and none of the Euro countries are on the radar, where it might work, it is training for WE, US, our neighborhoods, and nothing else. Which country are our guys gonna go door to door looking for WEAPONS, the rest of the world can't have them, so guess who?
?
We have training facilities that mimic the urban scenario, as Michael said and I believe, it is training for both sides, them and us.
Ok for them to ask and OK for us to comply. Not cool.
I believe in our troops, but unlike other countries, our troops are not grouped together by state or county, this divides loyalties, in Britain and Canada, and I cannot say they still do, troops were held together from their origins, makes you fight harder, knowing your fighting for your hometown, and makes you fight prouder, knowing it's your friends and family that are fighting with you. What does a soldier from a thousand miles away in the case of America care about another state, He has no experience with?
Of course the same can be said for the UN, what do they care about us, just follow orders, but I love those blue helmets
I would expect, that soldiers, individually would not hurt their own community, or state, but might follow orders, to apply these
tactics to unfamiliar ground, and there would not be sufficient supporters to halt it. I hope the soldiers sense of honor would not allow them to do this to ANY Americans, but we live in the world we made. Herbert Mc Bride, made this observation, in his book, " A Rifleman went to war" and it makes sense.
Of course Louisiana, did teach us a lesson, and many states, including mine, passed laws against confiscation, in times of crisis. But in the end, it is us, that have to tell the cops, not no, BUT, HELL NO!!!!
Here in Texas, We also have the Texas Guard, who works for the governor, they have weapons, and are not connected to the military.
As of today, 26 states have joined on the states Sovereignty, movement, including Texas, in our case the 9th and 10th amendments, not as harsh as I would like, but the States are putting the government on notice, NO MORE!!!
Sorry, you got me started.
