Has anyone seen this stuff yet? Some of the "exercises" will be in my backyard.
While on the one hand, I want our troops to be trained for anything.... that anything does not include expertise in operating as a domestic police force (aka martial law, posse comitatus, etc.). Our SWAT, Sheriffs, and local LEO's are pretty militarized up for just about anything already w/o the help of SEALs, Green Berets, ODA, etc. And their labeling of hostiles and friendlies on the map is curious. Hostile and friendly to what?

No need to be alarmed. This is just a drill. Go back into your homes and do as you're told.

Some of the more out there conspiracies include preparation for a "Red Dawn" type invasion from a Russian backed South American operation. Really?

Apparently these types of "realistic training exercises" have been happening in smaller pockets of civilian areas for decades. just on a much much smaller scale than this one.

I'm hoping to see some "exercises", but then again, maybe not. the closest I've come to this so far was after Hurricane Rita passed thru where a bunch of my family lives, we had the national guard posted at check points on the exit ramps of the highway leading into the damaged areas. I had about 35-40 gals of fuel to take to my family for their generators and had to convince these guys to let me thru. Once on the other side it was extremely creepy. No traffic, no power, no noise. Just trees everywhere. surreal.
